SPE Course
Mechanical Characterization of Additively Manufactured Polymers
April 4, 2025
11:00 AM to 12:00 PM EDT
Online
Summary
The additive manufacturing (AM) of polymers has gained significant momentum due to its design flexibility, material efficiency, and the broad range of available polymer materials. However, the mechanical behavior of AM polymers is strongly influenced by process parameters and post-processing techniques, which affect anisotropy, microstructural characteristics, and interlayer bonding—key factors that govern mechanical performance. Traditional methods for evaluating the mechanical properties of polymers often fall short of addressing the unique challenges posed by AM processes.
This course provides a comprehensive understanding of the mechanical characterization of additively manufactured polymers under both static and fatigue loading conditions. By integrating theoretical principles with experimental methodologies, participants will develop the analytical skills needed to assess, interpret, and optimize the mechanical performance of AM polymer components for advanced engineering applications.
