Experiment Study on Effects of Critical Factors on Quality of Prototypes in Fused Deposition Modeling

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents an experiment investigation on the effects on the surface quality and strength of a model in FDM, of critical factors including stratification parameters, build orientation, brace structure, auxiliary brace, and defects in STL files. With experiments using MEM-300, the conclusions can be drawn that, no matter what the number of interval is, greater filling line width always easily lead to poor surface quality, and that when the demands on surface quality and strength conflict one another, the demands on the both must first be balanced to obtain the better economical processing program.
