Optimization of FDM Prototypes Mechanical Properties with Path Generation Strategy

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper present result of a study evaluating the influence of path generation strategy on mechanical properties of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) prototypes. Several scientific studies were researching the problematic of path generation and internal structure of FDM prototypes. Mostly the influence on mechanical properties was observed. This paper is aimed on determine the influence of outline number and internal air-gap on tensile strength of parts built from ULTEM 9085. For this two variables was determined the influence on built time and consumption of modeling material. Result show that proper model orientation when the orientation of load is known, can help to reduce the build time and material consumption.
