In the last decades, the use of additive manufacturing has been adopted in several industries to obtain prototypes or end-use products due to its versatility (design flexibility, low volume production, reduced wasting material, among others). These products are normally exposed to complex mechanical and thermal loading conditions during service. For this reason, the relationship between manufacturing parameters and mechanical performance should be exhaustively analyzed in order to warrant the long term success of 3D printed products. In the present work the mechanical performance of filaments and 3D printed samples based on ABS, PLA and PLA/PHA was investigated by tensile and quasi-static fracture tests.
