dc.description.abstractIn today's technology, AM processes are widely adopted in the aerospace, energy, automotive, medicine, and agriculture industries. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is one of the most remarkable methods in the AM family because of its superiorities. Besides the advantages pro-vided, the mechanical strength of the printed parts is still not at a satisfactory level. Here, there are various secondary processes applied to polymer materials to improve both the mechanical properties and functionality of the printed part. Among these processes, the UV/O3 surface treatment method stands out as the most suitable one in terms of ease of application. In this study, two different infill orientation angles were applied to two standard test models. The fabrication process was initiated using suitable process parameters for filaments made of Polylactic Acid (PLA) and Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) materials. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the mechanical strength of 3D printed polymer structures. For the same purpose, the UV/O3 (UV/Ozone) process was applied to the manufactured samples. The samples are then subjected to tensile and compression tests, Shore surface hardness measurements and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analyze for both the evaluation of mechanical properties and the examination of fracture surface structures. Consequently, significant increases of 28.33%, 25.21%, 27.90%, and 32.92% were observed in material surface hardness levels. This study is important in terms of presenting that the mechanical properties of 3D printed parts can be significantly improved with UV/O3 application, which is an effective and a practical process.
