In connection with the growing demand of the medical and medicine-related industry for materials exhibiting biocompatible properties used as part of three-dimensional (3D) printing additive technologies. The article presents research results concerning rheological and selected mechanical properties of a modern, photocurable MED610 resin, which is also used mainly in medicine, as well as dentistry. The article also shows extensive results of testing bending stress relaxation and creep, as well as the tensile strength of samples created with the PolyJet Matrix (PJM) technology.

This article first explains the fabrication procedure and then analyzes the results of the static tensile strength tests and microscopic (SEM) examinations. From this study, it is evident that the mechanical properties of such objects, particularly their tensile strength, are not affected by the build direction; no significant anisotropy was found.

Additive manufacturing is being increasingly used both for rapid prototyping as well as the fabrication of finished components. It is important to determine how the properties of 3D printed materials change over time and how they affect the durability and usability of products. The aim of the research presented in this article was to find out what influence the natural aging period had on the mechanical properties, especially the tensile strength and modulus of elasticity, of specimens made from the selected photocurable resins using the PolyJet Matrix (PJM) technology.

This paper presents the results of measurements on the surface texture of flat samples and the surface texture of a prototype of a reduced-mass lathe chuck, made with the additive technology-powder bed fusion. The paper presents an analysis of the impact of samples' orientation on the building platform on the surface geometrical texture parameters (two-dimensional roughness profile parameters (, , , and so on) and spatial parameters (, , and so on).

The rheological data predicted using the Maxwell-Wiechert and the Kelvin-Voigt models for stress relaxation and creep, respectively, were in agreement with the experimental results. The elastic moduli and dynamic viscosities were determined with high accuracy for both models.
