Effect of Printing Angle on Mechanical Properties of Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF)-Printed Polymers for Below-Knee Prosthetic Sockets: An Experimental and Finite Element Analysis Study
This study investigates the influence of printing angle on the mechanical performance of 3D-printed prosthetic sockets through an integrated experimental and computational approach. Tensile tests were conducted on Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Polylactic Acid (PLA), and enhanced PLA (PLA+) specimens fabricated...
