Some Investigations Regarding the Surface Treatment of Ultem*9085 Parts Manufactured with Fused Deposition Modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) parts are typically subject to process-related rough or wavy surfaces, with stair-stepping effects whenever the parts produced have sloped or rounded part geometries; however, the level of optical quality frequently required demands that parts feature a smooth surface. In this paper, the results of a high-energy finishing process, which uses a disc finishing unit and is designed for parts manufactured with the material Ultem*9085, are presented. The analysis discusses the surface-smoothing effect of various finishing materials with varying geometries, as well as the effect of finishing time and speed. Additionally, the efficiency of the surface treatment has been analyzed specifically at corners, edges and in cavities.

Comparison of Ultem 9085 Used in Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) with Polytherimide Blends
Polyetherimide (PEI) blends modified by either polycarbonate (PC) or polyethylene terephthalate glycol-modified (PETG) were prepared. The latter modifier (PETG) was an industrial grade widely used for fused deposition modelling (FDM) printing. PEI blends were compared to Ultem 9085, which is the standard PEI grade for FDM printing in advanced applications. All the blends were thoroughly charact...

Two different approaches to design a sparse-build tool for fabrication by the fused deposition modeling (FDM) process are compared. One approach uses a 2D lattice structure and the other approach is inspired by topology optimization. Ultem 9085 is used as the material, and the amount of material used to build the tool is kept constant to ensure a fair comparison. A solid tool is also included i...
متن کاملFinishing 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...
