Comparative Strength Analysis of 3D-Printed PLA Plates with Different Infill Patterns

Abstract

I tested 4 different infill patterns that could be used while 3d printing a object.I am conducting a test to determine the strength (load capacity) of four different infill materials in PLA (Polylactic acid) with metal fibers when printed using a 3D printing. The gyroid 3d infill preformed best outperforming the other infills by over 10N.
