Precision Manufacturing Process of Parts Realized by FDM Rapid Prototyping

Abstract:

Rapid Prototyping (RP) can be defined as a group of techniques used to quickly fabricate a scale model of a part or assembly using three-dimensional computer aided design (CAD) data. What is commonly considered to be the first RP technique, Stereolithography, was developed by 3D Systems of Valencia, CA, USA. In this contribution are presented basic characteristics and problems in area of technology of Rapid Prototyping with use of Fused Deposition Modelling. It belongs to methods of precision model creation based on geometry obtained from CAD environment. Chapters are focused on optimization of FDM technology preparation process with aim of maximal precision of the parts. There also is algorithm that leads to selection of suitable settings for these problems. There are outputs in form of graph and tables accumulating information directly affecting precision aspects of manufacturing.
