Mechanical Properties of UV Cured Additively Manufactuted Materials

A series of experiments have been conducted on material that has been formed using an Elgoo 3D printer. This printer uses UV curable resins to create plastic parts, and is distict in method from the more familiar filament printers. The experiments were performed on an Instron screw driven testing machine in both compression and tension. The effect of additives to the resin, resin types and temperature are all discussed.
