Comparison of mechanical properties of 3D printing materials. The gray zone in both graphs is human cardiac tissue to shore A hardness (mean) of about 40. (A) Hardness with different thickness values of two FDM printing materials. (B) Hardness according to UV curing time of one material. 3D three-dimensional, FDM fused deposition modeling, UV ultraviolet.
