Mechanical characterization and testing of multi-polymer combinations in 3D printing.
Article in Heliyon, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
One of the key advancements brought on by Industry 4.0 is additive manufacturing, particularly material extrusion printers that enable the creation of complex parts using composite materials. This article presents a study on the mechanical behavior of 3D printing multi-materials, which are easily accessible and cost-effective for users. Tensile, compression, and flexural tests were conducted on various material configurations to explore their mechanical properties. Results indicate that certain material combinations exhibit enhanced properties in tension and compression, while individual materials perform stronger in flexural tests due to improved interlayer adhesion. The research highlights how material combinations in 3D printing can impact the mechanical properties of parts, offering potential applications in structural design. The study found that a combination of PETG and PLA yields optimal mechanical properties in tensile tests, while configurations with PLA on the outer layer perform best in compression tests. It also identifies a limitation in flexural testing dimensions, where specimens with a 4 mm thickness restrict the possibilities of material combination tests.
