Hello,
I am looking to 3D print some boat parts for my 17 ft recreational sailboat, an O'Day Daysailor. Do we know what the load capabilities are for a PLA printed 3D "block" or testing sample? I would like to compare this to other materials already in use, specifically Nylon. Most likely I will employ a rapid prototyping process just so others will sail with me but any definitive information would be great.
If anyone knows of:
- documentation regarding fatigue and stress testing results for PLA
- a stress lab to recommend
Please leave in a reply or message me directly.
a good lab to work with is actually the most desired. I'd like to own my own results.
Thanks,
Vince
