Anisotropic Mechanical Properties of ABS Parts Fabricated by Fused Deposition Modelling

Testing of Materials for Rapid Prototyping Fused Deposition Modelling Technology

Paper presents knowledge about types of test in area of materials properties of selected methods of rapid prototyping technologies. In today used rapid prototyping technologies for production of models and final parts are used materials in initial state as solid, liquid or powder material structure. In solid state are used various forms such as pellets, wire or laminates. Basic range materials ...

Analytical Modelling and Optimization of the Temperature-Dependent Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Fused Deposition Fabricated Parts Made of PC-ABS

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) additive manufacturing has been intensively used for many industrial applications due to its attractive advantages over traditional manufacturing processes. The process parameters used in FDM have significant influence on the part quality and its properties. This process produces the plastic part through complex mechanisms and it involves complex relationships be...

Methods to Improve Surface Finish of Parts Produced by Fused Deposition Modeling

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is one of the rapid prototyping technologies that can use plastic material, which can be effectively used for making patterns for investment casting. The surface finish of the investment casting depends upon the surface finish of the pattern. But the surface finish of the parts produced by using FDM is not very good as compared to wax patterns, which are conventi...

Finishing of ABS-M30 Parts Manufactured with Fused Deposition Modeling With Focus on Dimensional Accuracy

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) parts are prone to process-related rough and wavy surfaces with stair-stepping effects whenever the parts produced have sloped or rounded geometries. These stair-stepping effects can be reduced by using a smaller slice height, but complete elimination is not possible. In this paper, FDM parts manufactured with the material ABS-M30 are finished using mass finishin...
