The impact of testing loads and deflection samples made polymeric materials used in the field medical engineering after steam sterilization process were investigated. research was carried out on with standard geometry, according to PN-EN ISO 179-1, which produced two different printing configurations relative coordinate system 3D printers using extrusion additive process. Polymers are polyether ether ketone (PEEK), MED610, polylactide acid photocurable resin. results regarding strength properties analysed based measurements arrow during straight bending. resin showed smallest deformation, polylactic highest. It is worth noting, each material had a dependencies load test. From it concluded, that print orientation, type have significant deformation polymers.
