Strength of Printed vs Molded - 12 years ago
Strength of Printed vs Molded Plastic Is there any engineering data of the strength of printed vs molded or extruded. It seems that the density of printed is less because of gaps between lines. Also, melting between layers may be uneven, leading to connection weakness. Printed parts are being used as structural members in printer construction and elsewhere.by rikgray - General
