Elongation at break in 3D printing materials
Elongation at break refers to the percentage of the elongation length of a material before it breaks when subjected to tension to its original length. In 3D printing materials, elongation at break is a key parameter that not only reflects the ductility of the material, but also affects the strength and reliability of the printed parts. Materials with high elongation usually have better toughness and can deform without breaking when subjected to load. This is particularly important for many application......
