Additive manufacturing has gained importance in both industrial and academic fields due to its various advantages such as less maintenance cost, rapid production of parts, better tolerance, ease in manufacturing complex parts, minimum post processing, less need for supervision than conventional methods and operating temperature. Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing is the most common resin 3D printing process and has become vastly popular for its ability to produce high-accuracy, isotropic, and watertight prototypes and end-use parts. The paper presents the results of contact strength and tribological property tests of spare parts made of a popular resin using a 3D SLA printing technology. It uses an ultraviolet laser to precisely cure photopolymer cross-sections, transforming them from liquid to solid. In this study, friction and wear characteristics of ABS (Like Photopolymer Resin) printed with the SLA New (Elegoo Mars 4 Ultra) apparatus were studied by using reciprocating pin on plate tribotest comparing friction and wear characteristics between ABS-like resin and Ti6Al4V grade 5 implant. Experimental results showed that further research on suitable lubricants is required to use 3D printed ABS-like resin parts as mechanical components. Friction tests presented almost similar coefficient of friction data. Friction and wear comparison is well determined, and the rubbed surfaces were analyzed through 2D-3D roughness digital optical microscopy, SEM-EDX and AFM analysis. As a result, the relative motion between the ABS-like resin and Ti6Al4V showed similar friction coefficient.
