Özet

With the development of additive manufacturing technologies, the effects of production parameters on mechanical performance have become a fundamental determinant of the design process. This study investigated the effects of different fill ratios (30%, 65%, and 100%) on the tensile and rupture behavior of samples made of ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene). The samples were manufactured using the FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) method, with the production direction kept constant (0° edge configuration). Three replicate experiments were conducted for each fill ratio, and tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation at break were compared. The results show that with increasing fill ratio, there is a significant increase in tensile and yield strength, while elongation at break decreases slightly. The highest tensile strength of 22.88 MPa was achieved at 100% fill ratio. However, a 65% fill ratio resulted in more efficient performance in terms of material consumption. The findings reveal that the optimum fill rate in additive manufacturing with ABS material should be evaluated in terms of energy and material efficiency as well as mechanical strength.
