Tensile Elongation Tensile elongation measures the ductility and flexibility of a 3D printed material by calculating its elongation before breaking under tension. It evaluates deformation behavior, impact resistance, and toughness. High tensile elongation indicates flexibility and energy absorption, ideal for flexible filaments like TPU or TPE. Proper testing procedures, including standardized specimens and controlled loading rates, ensure accurate data and repeatability. Tensile elongation supports material selection, design validation, and functional performance for wearable devices, mechanical components, and safety-critical applications. |
