Abstract
Additive Manufacturing is the process of producing 3D objects by adding material in a layer-by-layer manner. It is gaining traction in recent times due to its advantages like zero/near-zero wastage, tool-less process and design freedom. It has the ability to decentralize production and offers great speed and flexibility to accelerate the innovation process. It is also a major driving force for Industry 4.0. The aim of the present study is to experimentally investigate the effect of build orientation and print speed on the tensile strength of the 3D printed PLA specimens. The build orientations considered are flat (XY), upright (XZ) and on-edge (YZ) positions. The print speeds are considered in the range of 20–60 mm/s. The 3D printed specimens are subjected to tensile test using a Universal Tensile Testing Machine (UTM) in which the material behavior is observed to find the peak load, necking and ultimate tensile strength.
