Abstract

Evaluating the reliability of a part is of great importance when developing components and devices in medical engineering. In order to examine the wear on the surface of mechanical components, a thin top layer of the part is 3D printed in a different color of the same material. Thus, after performing a wear out test with the component, the mechanical wear can be visually inspected.
