“…One approach is to find out the difference between printed and mold-cast specimens from the same batch of materials. The printed specimens for testing are prepared in three different ways: extracted from printed components by sawing or coring [8,26,33,42,46,54,58,61,98,106,107,[116][117][118][119][120][121]; obtained by printing directly [47,77,85,[122][123][124]; or cast in special molds with a specific procedure to simulate the layering process of the extrusion method [125][126][127][128][129]. The other approach is to characterize the hardened properties of the printing mixtures merely by mold-cast samples [32,56,59,106,130].…”
