Abstract

The dynamic landscape of 3D printing has experienced a notable surge in the development of diverse filaments tailored for a wide range of applications in medicine. This experimental study thoroughly examines the mechanical properties of nine popular 3D printer filaments, namely PLA, ABS, HIPS, PETG, PA, Carbon Fiber, Ceramic, PMMA, and Metal composite. Focusing on key aspects such as tensile strength and compressive tests, the study delves into the intricate mechanical characteristics of these 3D printer filaments. In addition to the mechanical properties, the study provides a comprehensive exploration of essential filament attributes, including melting point, bed temperature requirements, and density of nine different filament properties. Furthermore, the study addresses crucial considerations in material selection for different applications. Through insightful comparisons, the article illuminates the advantages and limitations of various available filaments within the realm of applications. This study serves as a valuable resource, offering nuanced insights for researchers, engineers, and medical professionals seeking a deeper understanding of the mechanical characteristics of 3D printer filaments and their potential applications.
