Tensile properties (necking) before it breaks completely. When this is the case, both the y eld and break points will be reported. Typical materials that yield before breaking are materials with h only the
The properties of parts manufactured using additive manufacturing technology (e.g. laser sintering, stereolithography, Fused Deposition Modelling, 3D printing) are, due to their layer-by-layer
The mass loss due to abrasion wear is measured, taking into account the density of the material and the sharpness of the test paper. The abrasion is given as the loss of volume in mm3.
