Compression test results of fused filamend fabricated polylactyde and polylactyde with carbon fiber filler

The DataSet contains the results of the mechanical behaviour of cube specimens with dimensions 30 x 30 x 30 cm3. The specimens were additively manufactured with the fused filament fabrication (FFF) method. They used two different materials polylactide (PURE PLA) and polylactide with carbon fibre filler (PLA+CF). The specimens were segregated into three groups - unsterilized, plasma-sterilized and ethylene oxide-sterilized. In each group, specimens were investigated before hydrolytic degradation (W0) and after a specified degradation period (W1-W12). The compression test was performed using a Zwick/Roell Z100 universal testing machine (UTM). The parameters of the test were: a preload of 50 N, and a constant mid-span displacement increment of 2 mm/min. The tests were stopped after 4 mm of traverse displacement. The UTM file has (.txt) extension and contains the time of the test (in s, 1st column), force (in N, 3rd column), and traverse displacement (in mm, 4th column).
