Abstract

Today, 3-dimensional (3D) printers are developing increasingly, and rapid progress is being made to become an alternative to traditional production methods. 3D printers, which produce with the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) method, commonly produce by using polymer materials in the form of filament with a diameter of 1.75 mm or 2.85 mm. This study, tensile test specimens were produced using PLA filaments of different diameters (1.75 mm and 2.85 mm) with two different 3D printers. The electricity consumption of 3D printers during the production of tensile test samples was measured. The energy consumed by both 3D printers in producing tensile test specimens was compared. Instead of simultaneously producing a single test sample, it has been determined that the power consumption per test sample will be reduced by producing many test samples together.
