Summary

This is a tensile test specimen for testing any material you want to.

Custom Section

Objectives:
You can learn how to test materials under real circumstances.
Learn basic skills to use g code generators.

Audiences:
There is no age limit to this project. Maybe the students should be 14 or older.

Preparation:
You only need the things for a normal print

Steps:
The students can design there own gcode with different characteristics (layer height, fill density, fill pattern, etc) after that they check there code with a tensile test.

Results:
Students learn how test materials, how to use the g code generator software and they see which characteristics are important for a strong print (layer height, fill density, fill pattern, etc)

Teachers and students can evaluate there gcodes by using a tensile test.
