3D Printing Materials Testing for Gears

Abstract:

In the presentation will be presented different additive 3D printing techniques for obtaining different plastic parts using the additive technology. The processes are Stereolithography and Fused deposition modelling After choosing the two processes, the next step is choosing the best material that will have the needed properties. The goal of this paper is to obtain a better gear with improved properties, resistance, and durability. The obtained probes will be tested with a traction device and resilience of the gear. The two parts will be compared, and the best obtained part will be chosen comparing part properties and the production cost
