3D Printed Metal vs CNC Machined - How Strong?

► Join the freshly launched electrosync Patreon: ► PCBWay for specialist 3D printing and CNC machining: How does 3D printed metal compare to CNC machined metal? Or what about carbon fibre nylon? Let’s find out! The one tonne Print Buster 3000 test rig is back in action to answer more questions about the strength of 3D prints. This time around, we start with a number of PLA FDM prints before looking at Onyx FR carbon FDM and then on to Sintered Laser Melting (SLM) 3D printed metals and finally CNC’d metals. Which will be strongest, and how strong will it be? Thanks to Demado for the Onyx nylon continuous fibre prints: CAD design was done in Fusion 360. Shot on Canon EOS M50, Insta360 One R and Sony RX100 V.
