The extension of 3D printing processes for parts made of polymeric materials highlighted the possibility of manufacturing threaded surfaces through such processes. In principle, the operation of a threaded joint involves tensile forces in the threaded rod. The dimensional characteristics of the threaded surface and some input factors in the 3D printing process can influence the tensile strength of threaded rods made of polymeric materials. An experimental research aimed at the tensile behavior of a threaded joint was designed, using a plastic screw and a special steel nut. A factorial experiment was designed and implemented to identify an empirical mathematical model capable of highlighting the influence of the dimensional characteristics of the threaded surface and some of the input factors in the 3D printing process on tensile strength. The test samples from polymeric materials were manufactured by 3D printing, then subjected to tensile tests. The mathematical processing of the experimental results allowed the determination of a mathematical model that allows the inclusion of the ordering of the factors taken into account in terms of the intensity of the influence that these factors exert on the tensile strength of the threaded rods. It was found that the diameter of the threaded rod exerts the strongest influence on the tensile strength of the threaded rod obtained by 3D printing, increasing the diameter of the threaded rod causing an increase in the maximum deformation of the rod. Increasing the thread pitch leads to a decrease in the maximum deformation of the threaded rod.
