Abstract

The J750 PolyJet printer is the newest model of full-color,multi-material 3D printer from Stratasys. Currently, limitedinformation is available about the effects of control factors onmechanical properties such as elastic modulus, ultimate tensilestrength, and elongation. In this study, the effects of two controlfactors, orientation and layer thickness, on mechanicalproperties of samples printed by the Stratasys J750 printer areinvestigated. The results show that orientation significantlyaffects mechanical properties. Specifically, samples printed withits axial direction parallel to the direction of printing have thehighest elastic modulus, and elongation, whereas samplesprinted with its axial direction perpendicular to the direction ofprinting have the highest ultimate tensile strength. Also, layerthickness makes a significant difference for mechanicalproperties, and larger layer thickness leads to higher ultimatetensile strength and elongation. These results would be valuableto researchers and practitioners who use J750.
