A Comparative Material Testing Analysis
This white paper was motivated by claims of superior material properties by FFF (fused filament fabrication) competitors despite internal Stratasys testing that demonstrated otherwise.
When switching from the standard toolpaths used by Stratasys to the optimized unidirectional toolpaths used by the competitor. Stratasys FDM® Nylon-CF10 demonstrated the results that follow:
3D printing mechanical samples with unidirectional toolpaths is appropriate to show the maximum strength of a carbon fiber filled material, but is not representative of the material strength within the typical FDM 3D printed part.
Download the white paper and discover how optimized unidirectional toolpaths led to impressive improvements in heat deflection, tensile modulus, and yield strength for Stratasys FDM® Nylon-CF10, showcasing the potential for enhanced FDM 3D printing materials.
