Test Coupon

This is a tensile test coupon printed in titanium on a Digital Alloys 3D printer. It will be machined into a standard shape for destructive testing (we pull it apart with a machined designed to measure tensile strength). The bottom plate and first 20mm or so of the tower will be cut off in preparation for machining. It is not a particularly creative photograph but I was only willing to invest five minutes for setup after a 14 hour day in the office. The print is also rather old and shows some discoloration so I will wait for a more beautiful part before pulling out all the stops.
