Effect of protective coatings on the water absorption and mechanical properties of 3D printed PLA

This work aims to study the influence of protective coatings on the water absorption and mechanical properties of 3D printed polyꖖlactic acid (PLA) parts. The PLA parts were fabricated with different levels of the 3D printing process parameters, aiming to define samples with distinct strength and du...
