Summary
OBJECTIVE: To provide validated data and tools for the prediction of fatigue performance of parts printed from AF approved polymers. To provide training to program office engineers on the use of the prediction tools, their limitations and validation approaches to guide testing and approval of parts for use.
DESCRIPTION: Develop a mechanical behavior model that accounts for the anisotropy of a fused filament fabricated material.
