Abstract. Sometimes, for various reasons, some 3D printed parts need to be designed for certain levels of perforation resistance. A typical perforation test is performed with a conical tipped indenter, which is allowed to fall under its own weight on the test specimen. Depending on various factors, the conical tip will penetrate and advance more or less into the specimen material. Such factors are the height from which the penetrator is released, the mass of the penetrator, and the thickness of the specimen. Previously, a device was designed and tested that provides conditions for testing the perforation resistance of 3D printed plastic parts. In such conditions, it was considered of interest to verify the extent to which the device corresponds to the functional requirements for which it was designed, by using some principles from axiomatic design. Principles from axiomatic design were used to verify the solution adopted in the case of the device for testing the perforation resistance of some plastic samples manufactured by 3D printing, Ultimaker 3 printer (Netherlands). To this end, zero-order, first-order and second-order functional requirements have been defined. Solutions were analyzed to adequately address the various functional requirements. By using principles from axiomatic design, the extent to which the various functional requirements for the testing device were met was verified. Ways to improve the use of the device for testing the perforation resistance of 3D printed plastic parts have been identified.
