Evaluation of the Influence of Parameters of FDM Technology on the Selected Mechanical Properties of Models

The paper presents experimental results the influence of location and direction of the models on the virtual platform on their selected mechanical properties such as Young's modulus and stress relaxation during uniaxial compression tests. Cylindrical samples were manufactured using the Dimension 1200es machine realizing the fused deposition modeling technology (FDM).. The samples were located on the machine platform at different angles to the printing direction. The material used for the construction of samples was ABS P430. Tests relaxation were made in accordance with ISO 3384: 2002 standard. Tests were performed using the testing machine Inspect Mini.
