Further Analysis into Best Infill Structure Used in Additive Manufacturing for Mechanical Applications

Abstract

This paper delves into further analysis of the best infill structure for mechanical applications in 3D printing. Infill plays a crucial role in determining the strength, weight, and overall mechanical properties of printed objects. This study aims to explore and evaluate different infill structures to identify the optimal choice for mechanical applications. Specifically, the focus is on investigating the gyroid infill pattern due to its unique properties and potential advantages. The research includes an assessment of the structural integrity and mechanical performance of objects printed with gyroid infill compared to other commonly used infill patterns. Experimental testing, including tensile strength and load-bearing capacity, will be conducted to quantify and compare the mechanical properties of the printed parts. The results of this study will provide valuable insights and guidance for selecting the most suitable infill structure in mechanical applications, contributing to enhanced design and manufacturing capabilities in the field of 3D printing.
