Experimental analysis and predictive modeling of the tensile and flexural strength of FDM-printed PLA for clinical devices

This study utilizes a full factorial design and second-order polynomial regression to demonstrate that optimizing the extrusion ratio to 110% and layer thickness to 0.20 mm significantly enhances the tensile and flexural strength of FDM-printed PLA, providing a validated predictive framework for manufacturing high-performance clinical devices.

Experimental Investigation of Strength–Ductility Trade-Offs and Failure Mechanisms in SLS-Fabricated Nylon 12 and Glass-Fibre-Reinforced Nylon

This study experimentally demonstrates that while Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) of pure Nylon 12 yields superior tensile strength and ductility compared to its glass-fibre-reinforced counterpart, the composite offers enhanced hardness and impact resistance, revealing a distinct strength–ductility trade-off driven by processing-induced defects and interfacial bonding limitations.
