Özet

The fabrication of intricately formed parts, challenging with the traditional manufacturing approach, is facilitated by additive manufacturing (AM). Stacking the material layer by layer and using the 3D data from the model, parts are created using this technique. The design of parts with various porosities inside the same cell structure and industry sector-specific manufacture are both made possible by this technology. With varied infill geometries and porosity ratios, pieces made from PLA material with different mechanical properties were compared in this study. Parts were made for this purpose using fused deposition modeling (FDM) and various infill geometries (Octet, Gyroid, and Cross). The unit cell size for infill geometries was set at 5x5x5mm, and test samples with porosities of 50%, 30%, and 20% were created. Tensile, compression, and impact tests were conducted to examine the mechanical behavior of these parts, and the best unit cell structure was selected based on the assessed mechanical properties. In general, it was found that all fill geometries' mechanical qualities declined with increasing porosity ratio. The Octet infill geometry structure had the maximum tensile strength. However, the Cross infill geometry sample had the most significant deformation.
