Observation of Shape and Dimensional Accuracy Changing of Parts in Time Intervals Manufactured by Additive Method Fused Deposition Modeling

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article deals with the observation of shape and dimensional accuracy of parts after manufacturing in certain time intervals. The parts was manufactured by additive manufacturing method Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). The shape and chosen dimension changes due to material shrinkage was observed on materials, namely Polylactic Acid (PLA) and Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PET-G). These materials rank among health-conscious and usable in some medical applications. The parts were measured by using coordinate measuring machine (CMM) in certain time intervals and the shape and chosen dimensions was compared with the reference computer aided designed (CAD) model.
