abstract = "Vat photopolymerization is an Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology that enables the production of dimensionally accurate components. Due to its accuracy, this technology has led to the development of various sub-types, each with different methods of introducing UV light to the liquid resin in the vat. UV light can be introduced through a mirror system (SLA), a projector (DLP), or an LCD screen that acts as a photomask over a projector’s light, allowing for the curing of the entire layer in one pass (MSLA). The material of interest in this study is a standard translucent resin used in MSLA, with a UV light wavelength of 405 nm. Previous extensive mechanical characterization of this material has shown a high dependence on the final component properties on layer thickness and curing times.
The objective of this research is to analyse the time-dependent behaviour of these materials. Specifically, closed-loops compression tests have been conducted, subjecting the material to loading and unloading sequences at strain levels of 5 and 25 %. To clarify, a strain level of 5 % falls within the elastic region of the material, while a strain level of 25 % is considerably within the plastic region. Various testing speeds were applied, namely 1, 5, 10, 25, and 100 mm/min. The influence of testing speed on the materials’ energy absorption capacity is evident. The highest difference is observed between 10 and 25 mm/min, indicating that the material’s ability to store energy is significantly reduced after a testing speed of 10 mm/min.",
