Abstract

Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Composites, Ahead of Print.
This study examines the influence of printing parameters and post-processing on the mechanical performance of SLA-printed acrylate-based materials. Specimens were fabricated at two printing speeds (100 mm/s, 130 mm/s) and three layer thicknesses (0.05–...
