Analysis of mechanical properties of polylactic acid using a new 3D printer nozzle

Additive manufacturing,also known as three-dimensional(3D) printing, is the process of developing 3D products in a layer-by-layermanner using ﬁlament as a material feedstock to create a solid structure. Owing to its unique properties and advantages, which include biodegradability and printing speed,...
