Investigation and analysis of infill pattern and layer thickness on tensile strength of PLA and PETG material in 3D printing

SNSachin satish Nanche PLPramod S. Ladgaonkar

Key Points

Tensile strength is highest with honeycomb infill compared to grid and rectilinear patterns.
At a layer thickness of 0.1 mm, honeycomb exhibits the greatest tensile strength improvements in materials.
The study includes various infill configurations and densities alongside PLA and PETG material types.
Findings indicate that optimal infill pattern selection is crucial for enhancing the mechanical properties of 3D printed parts.

Abstract

Increased customization and design freedom, decreased waste, quicker prototyping, and the creation of challenging profile forms are all made possible by additive manufacturing (AM)8. In 3D printing, the printing parameters have a direct impact on the mechanical strength of the final product. This study examined the impact of various infill configurations (Grid, Rectilinear, Honeycomb), infill densities (15 %), and material (PLA, PETG) and layer thickness (0.1 mm, 0.2 mm) in that sequence. According to experimental research, at every infill pattern and layer thickness, the honeycomb infill pattern exhibits a higher tensile strength than the grid and rectilinear infill pattern. The tensile strength of honeycomb infill geometry is stronger when the layer thickness is 0.1mm,
