The contemporary approach to the design of various engineering structures is characterized by a continuous pursuit of optimization of performance parameters, such as self-weight, strength, stiffness, or energy absorption. This process is closely linked to the highly dynamic development of engineering materials, as well as the implementation of innovative manufacturing technologies. A particularly significant increase in the importance of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies has been observed, as they enable the production of components with a high degree of geometric complexity—difficult or even impossible to achieve using conventional machining methods. The widespread application of additive technologies results, among other factors, from the reduction of material consumption during part production [1]. One of the key aspects of additive technologies is the influence of printing process parameters on the mechanical properties of the fabricated components. Among these parameters, special attention is given to the spatial orientation of the model within the build chamber, as it directly affects the manner in which successive material layers are deposited. This, in turn, determines the internal structure of the component, the anisotropy of its mechanical properties, and the failure mechanisms under loading conditions [2, 3, 4]. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of the build orientation in FDM technology on the energy absorption capacity and the mechanical strength.
