Rapid Prototyping (RP) technologies provide the ability to fabricate initial prototypes from various model materials. Stratasys' Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a typical RP process that can fabricate prototypes out of plastic materials, and the parts made from FDM were often used as load-carrying elements. Because FDM deposits materials in about $300\mutextrm{m}$ thin filament with designated orientation, parts made from FDM show anisotropic material properties. This paper proposes an analytic model to predict the tensile strength of FDM parts. Applying the Classical Lamination Theory, which was developed for laminated composite materials, a computer code was implemented. Tsai-Wu failure criterion was added to the code to predict the failure of the FDM parts. The tensile strengths predicted by the analytic model were compared with experimental data. The data and prediction agreed reasonably well to prove the validity of the model. In addition, a web-based advisory service was developed to provide to strength prediction and design rules for FDM parts.

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) parts are made by piling up thin layers that cause the stair stepping effect at the surface of FDM parts. This effect brings about poor surface roughness of the part and requires additional post machining such as manual finishing that is detrimental to the part geometry and time consuming. Determining optimal build orientation for FDM parts can be one solution to minimize the post machining. However, by using the CAD model, calculating the optimal build orientation is impractical due to heavy computing process. In order to calculate the optimal build orientation with high speed. the surface roughness model based on measured data and interpolation is newly developed in this research. Also. the genetic algorithm (GA) is applied for acquiring reliable solution. Finally, It is verified from the test that the presented approach is very efficient for reducing the additional post machining process fer FDM parts.

Rapid Prototyping (RP) technology has been advanced to fabricate initial prototypes from various materials. Stratasys′ Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is one of the typical RP processes that provide functional prototypes of ABS plastic. In order to predict the behavior of final ABS parts, it is critical to understand the material properties of the raw FDM process material, and the effect that FDM build parameters have on the FDM part. In this paper, we seek to characterize the properties of ABS parts fabricated by the FDM 1650. Using the Design of Experiment (DOE) approach, the process parameters of FDM, such as raster orientation, air gap, bead width, color, and model temperature were examined. Tensile strengths of crisscross specimens, 〔45°/-45°〕, cross specimens, 〔0°/90°〕, and directionally fabricated tensile specimens (〔0°〕 and 〔90°〕) were measured and compared with the injection molded FDM-ABS P400 material. For the FDM parts made with a -0.003"air gap, the typical tensile strength ranged between 50 percent and 83 percent of the strength of injection molded ABS P400. From the experiments, a couple of build rules for designing FDM parts were obtained.

3D 프린팅 기술에 있어서, 각각의 기술들은 고품질의 출력물을 얻기 위해서는 최적화해야 할 다양한 인자들을 가지고 있다. FDM (fused deposition modeling) 방식의 3D 프린터 또한 최적화해야 할 다수의 인자들이 있다. 그 중에서도 노즐 온도와 노즐 이송 속도는 가장 기본이 되는 인자라고 할 수 있다. 안정적인 출력이 가능한 두 인자의 조합을 찾는 것은 FDM 장비를 이용한 출력에 있어서 가장 먼저 선행되어야 할 일이다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 두 인자 조합에 따라 단일 라인 출력을 수행하였고, 얻어진 출력 결과물을 평가를 통하여 안정적인 출력이 가능한 범위를 선정하는 새로운 방법을 제시하였다. 제시한 방법을 통하여 평가한 안정적 조건 범위들을 동일 범위 조건 아래에서 다층 단일 라인 출력을 통하여 검증하였다. 그 결과, 단일 라인과 다층 단일 라인 출력이 동일한 안정적 범위를 보이고 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이는 본 논문에서 제안한 단일 라인 평가법을 다층 출력의 안정성을 그대로 반영할 수 있음을 보여 준다. 이상의 결과들로 볼 때, 제안한 방법은 간단한 실험과 측정 방법을 이용하여 손쉽게 수행 될 수 있다는 점과 공정 변수들의 최적화를 위한 기본 데이터를 제공한다는 점에서도 그 의미를 찾을 수 있었다.

Fused deposition modelling(FDM) is a rapid prototyping(RP) process that fabricates part layer by layer by deposition of molten thermoplastic material extrude from a nozzle. RP system has many benefit. One of the benefit would be the ability to experiment wiか physical objects of my complexity in a relatively short period of time. But it has a matter of surface roughness and geometric accuracy. We study on Influence of angle of tangent line and area error on sphere surface roughness at fused deposition.

Interest in three-dimensional (3D) printing processes has grown significantly, and several types have been developed. These 3D printing processes are classified as Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Stereo-Lithography Apparatus (SLA), and Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). SLS can be applied to many materials, but because it uses a laser-based material removal process, it is expensive. SLA enables fast and precise manufacturing, but available materials are limited. FDM printing's benefits are its reasonable price and easy accessibility. However, metal printing using FDM can involve technical problems, such as suitable component supply or the thermal expansion of the heating part. Thus, FDM printing primarily uses materials with low melting points, such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) or polylactic acid (PLA) resin. In this study, an FDM process for enabling metal printing is suggested. Particularly, the nozzle and heatsink for this process are focused for stable printing. To design the nozzle and heatsink, multi-physical phenomena, including thermal expansion and heat transfer, had to be considered. Therefore, COMSOL Multiphysics, an FEM analysis program, was used to analyze the maximum temperature, thermal expansion, and principal stress. Finally, its performance was confirmed through an experiment.

Additive manufacturing (AM), so called 3D Printing is a new manufacturing process and is getting attraction from many industries. There are several methods of 3D printing. Among them fused deposition modeling (FDM) type is most widely used by reason of cheap maintenance, easy operation and variety of polymeric materials. Articles manufactured by 3D printing have weak deposition strength compared with conventionally manufactured products. Deposition strength of FDM type 3D printed article is highly dependent of deposition temperature. Subsequently the nozzle temperature in the FDM type 3D printing is very important and it is controlled by heat source in the 3D printer. Nozzle is connected with heat block and barrel, and heat block contains heat source. Nozzle becomes hot through heat conduction from heat source. Nozzle temperature has been predicted for various thermal boundary conditions by computer simulation and compared with experimental measurement. Nozzle temperature highly depends upon thermal conductivities of heat block and nozzle. Simulation results are good agreement with experiment.

The FD process is analogous to the direct piston extrusion process where the cold feed filament acts as a piston extruding the molten filament from the heated liquefier through a nozzle. The extruded filament is deposited on top of futureless platform, where the liquefier and the nozzle move in X and Y direction control by computer based on the part geometry. After the first layer, the Z platform indexes down and the next layer get deposited on top of the first layer. the layer by layer building process introduces surface problem. This paper describes effect of slice interval of the parts built by fused deposition modelling rapid prototyping system.

FDM is one of the popular 3D printing technologies because of an inexpensive extrusion machine and multi-material printing. FDM can use thermoplastics such as ABS and PLA. The 3D-printed ABS parts fabricated by FDM are attractive in the automotive industry because of their weight. A 10% reduction in weight can increase the fuel economy by approximately 7%. To use 3D-printed ABS parts as automotive parts, we should evaluate the 3D-printed parts in terms of automotive reliability. In this study, 3D-printed ABS samples were evaluated using Ono's rotary bending fatigue test. We obtained an S-N curve for the 3D-printed ABS specimen from the finite-element analysis. The S-N curve can be useful in early-stage design decisions for 3D-printed ABS parts.
