The tested material used to produce the samples was polyactide acid (PLA). PLA is one of the most favourite material for 3D printing. This polylactide acid contains a metal additive. The standard dog-bone shaped samples reinforced with internal ribs arranged in a grid with 20% of the internal volume of the rib-filled sample were tested for tensile strength. The samples were subjected to different types of chemical degradation prior to the test. As a degradation agent, there was used an organic solvents. The result of the research is the effect of the degradation factor on the mechan-ical properties of these samples and possible use in practice, specifically in technology.
