Tensile Testing Tensile testing measures a 3D printed material's strength, elasticity, and deformation under tension. It evaluates mechanical properties like tensile strength, elongation, and Young's modulus. Tensile testing is essential for validating material performance, design optimization, and quality assurance. It uses standardized test specimens (e.g., ASTM D638) and universal testing machines. Proper testing procedures ensure accurate data, repeatability, and compliance with industry standards. Tensile testing supports material selection, structural analysis, and safety-critical applications in engineering, aerospace, and medical devices. |
