This data set pertains to the PhD dissertation "Shaping Anisotropy - 3D Printing of Liquid Crystal Polymers".

The aim of the thesis is to explore the combination of anisotropy and shaping freedom provided by the 3D-printing of LCPs, and to investigate how this combination can improve mechanical performance. The datasets contain the mechanical tests linked to the figures in the thesis, divided by chapters.
