Three-Point Bending Test A three-point bending test evaluates the flexural strength, stiffness, and toughness of a 3D printed part by applying a load at the center while supported at both ends. It measures flexural modulus, flexural strength, and deformation behavior. Proper testing procedures, including specimen dimensions and loading rate, ensure accurate data and repeatability. It is essential for structural analysis, material selection, and quality assurance. Three-point bending tests are widely used in aerospace, automotive, and medical applications requiring precise mechanical performance. |
