Specific materials research and testing
Most suitable material for the application
Can a 3d print be made strong enough
What i have gathered from the research
It may be possible to make some of the parts out of 3D printed parts that have been strengthened, but i will need to test to see how strong i can get a 3D printed part
I will do some preliminary research into making strong 3d prints and then do some testing myself to find the strongest combination possible
Ways of strengthening prints
Carbon/Glass Fiber Lamination
Coat the print in a layer of either carbon fiber or glass fiber to strengthen the print and give it more structural integrity.
Higher infill
Set the infill percentage to a higher amount to increase the amount of material which is taking the overall stress of its application
Stronger materials
Using ABS or PETG would make the part stronger and more durable than it is likely to be with PLA
