From the point of view of material structure it is the inner tension in the printed object caused by gradual shrinkage of individual layers.
The macroscopic structure of printed composite samples and samples with unfilled matrix was observed by optical microscopy.
Fig. 3 Warp coefficient of unfilled polymers and composite samples filled with kaolin and limestone Fig. 4 shows cross-section fragile fracture areas of examined samples, which were printed in order to compare the macroscopic structure.

Titanium exhibits polymorphic transformation from the hexagonal compact α-phase structure, which occurs below 883 °C, to the cubic centered body structure, β-phase, above this temperature.
The crystalline structures of α” and β are very similar.

At the initial (0 week), the tensile strength of PLA higher than PBS polymer due to the chemical structure of PLA is hard and brittle, while PBS is a ductile polymer.
The result could imply that the mechanical properties of PLA decreased faster than PBS because of the low crystallinity of the polymer structure.

Therefore, immediate action is required in order to decrease the energy consumption as a sustainable pillar of the energy transition. [7] Because of its substantial leverage effect, the manufacturing industry carries great weight as an important driver of the energy consumption in Germany; its different industries have relative saving potentials of up to over 20%. [4] For the identification of highly efficient production structures a comparison to derive specific saving potentials is possible.
Only by means of this is it possible to identify highly efficient production structures and specific saving potentials that can be a positive example and reference.
Thus, in order to calculate the minimum value, it is necessary to define a calculation system that takes specific influential variables of the production process into account in a structured way.
The model of the activation energy as a basis to describe the existence of a Least Energy Demand A model from the chemistry field serves as a basis for the model concept to be developed.
