A composite resin containing eggshell particles for the additive manufacturing according to the stereolithography (SLA) printing technology was studied. First, the viscosity properties of the eggshell-particle-reinforced resin were determined. Then, the effect of particle wt% on the hardness, tensile, and compressive behaviors of the composite specimens were investigated. Besides, the optical microscopy images of unreinforced and reinforced 3D printed composites were scrutinized. The cross-sections of the composite were analyzed by the energy dispersion spectrometry and optical and scanning electron microscopes (EDS/SEM) in order to examine its structure in detail. To analyze the damping properties and the elastic modulus determined in tension and free vibration tests were also carried out.
