Title: Tensile Testing at Elevated Temperatures of Test Specimens Made of Polymer Materials Obtained by Fused Deposition Modeling
Keywords: 3D printing, elevated temperature, FDM technology, Polymers, tensile strenght

Abstract: Plastic products are increasingly used both in our daily lives and in industry. There are many methods for their manufacture, but the most widespread nowadays is three-dimensional printing using Fused Deposition modeling. Using the mentioned technology, test specimens for testing tensile strength have been made from different groups of polymer materials, which will be tested at elevated temperatures using a test stand. The analyses performed will verify the temperature to which each of the materials can withstand. A thermocouple and an infrared thermal camera were used to control the temperatures during testing. The testing temperatures were selected depending on the characteristics of the materials. Strength-strain curves were constructed for each material.
