Abstract
In Laser Powder Bed Fusion there are certain considerations that need to be accounted for when designing for thin-walled or complex shapes. Much is known of how parameters such as build orientation and scanning strategy can affect the resultant tensile properties. The tensile property results are also influenced by factors such as the shape of the specimen. The specimens’ cross-sectional geometry and length ratio are carefully considered to obtain accurate and reliable tensile properties. Eighteen different tensile geometries were manufactured using an EOS P110 and PA12 powder. These different geometries were chosen to evaluate different influencing factors such as width, gauge length, specimen geometry and scanning strategy. This knowledge is used in conventional standards when determining specimen geometries. This work aims to combine conventional tensile specimen shape and L-PBF factors to best represent the actual tensile properties of different polymer geometries.
