This study investigated the ultrasonic fatigue behavior of ABS and of a high-strength photopolymer resin (Rigid Black) fabricated by digital light processing (DLP) additive manufacturing. The dynamic elastic modulus of both materials was measured so that specimens could be designed to satisfy the 20 kHz resonance condition. ABS specimens were CNC-machined, whereas Rigid Black specimens were DLP-printed and post-cured. Thermal effects were minimized by compressed-air cooling with a 0.3 s/3 s duty cycle. S-N curves showed that fatigue life increased as the stress amplitude decreased for both materials. ABS exhibited higher fatigue strength and a more consistent life distribution, which is attributed to its homogeneous microstructure. Rigid Black showed lower fatigue strength with greater scatter, reflecting the anisotropy and interfacial inhomogeneity introduced by layer-by-layer fabrication. Fractographic analysis revealed that ABS underwent mixed-mode ductile-fatigue fracture through crazing, whereas Rigid Black failed in a brittle manner, with directional crack propagation driven by process-induced defects. These results confirm the feasibility of ultrasonic fatigue evaluation for DLP-printed polymer components and provide a basis for assessing the durability of additively manufactured parts.
