This study focuses on the experimental verification of residual stress (RS) in a 3D-printed braking pedal using the Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) method with SS316L material. The RS was measured at two representative locations using the hole drilling method (HDM) and the dividing method, which are semi-destructive and destructive methods of RS measurement, respectively. The finite element method (FEM) was used with Ansys Workbench 2020R2 and Simufact Additive 2021 software to determine the magnitude of RS. The results provide insights into how RS is incorporated into metal 3D-printed components and the available tools for predicting RS. This information is essential for experts to improve the accuracy and functionality of SLM parts when post-subtractive or additive manufacturing processes are used. Overall, this study contributes to the advancement of knowledge on the effects of RS on 3D-printed metal components, which can inform future research and development in this area.
