Does part orientation affect mechanical properties in MJF printing?
E
Hi everyone, I’m designing functional end-use parts for MJF 3D printing. These parts need to withstand repeated mechanical stress, particularly bending and torsion. I’ve read conflicting information on how part orientation during printing can influence the mechanical properties of MJF-printed parts. Does anyone have experience or data showing how orientation affects strength, especially in load-bearing applications?
