2FATIGUE ANALYSIS IN 3D PRINTED MATERIALS SPECIFICALLY PETG
Introduction
The literature study investigates the fatigue analysis of the 3D printed materials
specifically Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PETG). It is the thermoplastic polyester which is
accessible as fiber for the marketable desktops of 3D printers. 3D printing is method of addictive
manufacturing which permits creating shaped bodies at lower price as well as shorten instance
period. It is included for speedy manufacturing included engineering applications, rapid
prototyping (Ferreira et al. 2017). Fused deposition modelling (FDM) method is dispensed
filament as of the animated nozzle situated in three axes which can harden following existing
nozzle. The study presents on mechanical properties of the elements of 3D printed by means of
FDM method. This method is made of two methods such a PETG and glass fiber reinforced
PETG (Squires and Lewis 2018). The collected data using this FDM method utilizes to measure
mechanical properties of parts which are completed of PETG and used for modelling of the
possessions related to 3D printed elements.
Fatigue characteristics of 3D printed polymers and ABS
Laureto and Pearce (2017) discussed that 3D printing abilities for elastomers offer profits
to cheaper along with quicker device prototyping in addition to final manufacturing of the
components. Yamamoto et al. (2018) argued that it has potential towards complex geometries as
well as architectures. 3D printed materials can process with implications on materials
microstructure and mechanical properties specially fatigue. The literature review on the fatigue
properties of the 3D printed polymers can turn on unassuming quantity of employment in regards
to the printed elastomers. Regarding 3D printed polymers, the study is based on fatigue of FDM
