AB  - In recent years, Additive Manufacturing (AM) has become an increasingly popular method in industrial
applications for fabricating components with complex geometries, offering several benefits over traditional
(subtractive) manufacturing methods. Among all available AM technologies, ‘‘vat photopolymerization’’ is still
a reliable approach for manufacturing high-resolution components at relatively small costs. This particular
AM technology is based on the photopolymerization process where 3D objects are created by light-induced
solidification and it has been broadly developed and used in the past decades. Depending on the employed
light source there are three different subtypes of this technology, namely: SLA, DLP, and mSLA. Among all
three listed, the Masked Stereolithography Apparatus (mSLA) technology has emerged as a promising approach
due to the much simpler AM machine construction compared to the other two. However, the mechanical
properties of mSLA components have not been studied extensively, hence there is a lack of knowledge of
how AM process parameters and post-processing treatments affect the final mechanical properties of mSLA
components. This work presents an experimental investigation of the compressive and flexural mechanical
responses of components produced through this relatively new AM technology. A series of static and cyclic
tests were conducted with varying layer thickness and post-curing times. It is demonstrated that a thorough
optimization of the mentioned variables is required to obtain parts with the desired mechanical properties.

AB  - Polylactic Acid (PLA) is a widely used material in Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology. Additive Manufacturing (AM) parameters are known to have an influence on the mechanical properties of final components. In FDM, the layer thickness is an influencing parameter providing overall better mechanical properties with lower layer thickness values. In that case, the air gaps created between layers and raster lines have a lower share in total volume. However, layer over-compression might be an issue when choosing the lowest layer thickness options. This research paper investigates the impact properties of PLA material with variations in layer thickness namely, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 mm are considered here. Charpy tests were used for the impact property assessment, and all specimens were prepared with 100% infill percentage and honeycomb infill structure. Worth mentioning is that specimens have AMed notches. The impact tests were carried out on 7 specimens per batch (a total of 21 specimens). Therefore, obtained impact results from an instrumented pendulum were observed between groups to have an insight into the beneficial influence of lower layer thickness on impact properties and lower result scatter that finer layer resolution should produce.

AB  - High demand for part customization shifts industries toward AM technologies. Part customization in high-volume manufacturing is developed to its limits, whereas low-volume production using AM is still economically unjustified. FDM technology is quite common in low-volume AM production, but the main issue is poor printing parameter optimization which may result in insufficient final part quality. The subject of this paper is the experimental determination of the optimal parameters for the PLA polymer FDM parts, focusing on nozzle temperature and printing speed. Part geometry and mechanical properties are evaluated for the temperature range of 170–210 °C and speeds of 40, 80, and 120 mm/min. Roughness measurements for part geometrical accuracy assessment and tensile tests for mechanical property estimation have shown the clear advantage of 190 °C and 40 mm/min over the other parameter combinations. However, for higher FDM process productivity 80 mm/min speed may also be considered with 190 °C.
