Abstract :Recent developments in 3D printing are attracting wide spread interest due to easily accessible with lower cost. The present paper aims to investigate printing occupancy rates effect on mechanical properties and surface roughness of PET-G insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Polietilen Tereftalat Glikol); material products. Pet-G material was preferred because of its malleability , colorability and mechanical properties. PET-G products were printed at different printing occupancy rates insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(20%, 50% and 80%); at processing speed of 45 mm/s and all other operating parameters fixed at the same conditions on 3D printer. Uniaxial tensile tests, hardness measurements and surface roughness measurements of the printed products were carried out. The results were analyzed and compared .
