Abstract

The focus of this paper is to explore the possibilities of optimizing 3D printed elements produced by FFF/FDM technology based on bending tests according to ČSN EN ISO 178 (64 0607) with variations in the settings of the printing itself. The principle of FFF/FDM is the printing of a continuous fiber made of thermoplastic material, which is applied by machine to the previously printed fiber. There are many combinations of possible print settings, and one of them is the geometry of the inner density with variable density. Their resulting maximum values of the achieved load were then compared with the weight (amount of material used) and printing time. The result is a comparison to achieve economical printing with the greatest possible load capacity.
