Rapid prototyping is the new engineering tool that is nowadays being extensively developed. One of the most common and dynamically growing increment technologies patented in 1992 by the company Stratasys is the FDM technique (Fused Deposition Modeling), in which the actual model of the product is made by extruding thermoplastic fibers through extruder. The FDM method uses artificial plastic as a building material, which is ABS and its derivatives are characterized by increased strength properties [1]. The samples obtained using injection molding and plasticized material extrusion (FDM) were the subjected to mechanical properties tests. It was found that manufacturing method defines mechanical properties for specific parameters.
