Fusion deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing parameters correlation: An analysis of different polymers surface roughness

Abstract:

One of the most popular methods for manufacturing new products is FDM (Fusion Deposition Modeling). In which two segments are established: industrial and desktop. The latter group has had notable growth in recent years. One of the disadvantages found in this method is its surface finish, which presents a remarkable roughness. In this research work, the correlation that exists in the printing configuration'parameters and the resulting roughness analyzed by means of the ISO 4287-1997 standard will be analyzed. The configuration parameters to take into account are: layer height, printing speed. The materials to be analyzed are: PLA, PET-G, ASA, Wood Filament, TPU. Besides, the equipment used is a Prusa brand desktop printer with the manufacturer's software. What is more, the acceleration, extruder temperature and bed recommended in the software are used for each material. Hence, the constant printing …
