Mechanical Properties of 3D Printed Parts and Their Injection Molded Alternatives Subjected to Environmental Aging.

Additive manufacturing is the technology used in medical, industrial, or lifestyle applications. The scientific literature include works reporting various manufacturing parameters' influence on changes in additive manufacturing components' mechanical behavior, especially with fused filament fabrication (FFF). The changes in mechanical strength and toughness of FFF compared to injection molding parts were studied.
