An Experimental Analysis of Design, Fabrication and Quality Improvement Procedure in 3D Printed Products

Abstract

3D PRINTING is a new industrial innovation that is drawing a new generation of technically competent individuals from all around the world.AM (Additive Manufacturing) techniques open up new possibilities for creating components with unique shapes & mechanical characteristics.FDM is a common AM technique for thermoplastics. An increasingly prevalent fast prototyping method, 3D printing is used to fabricate a planter mold in my research work.The improvement of mechanical characteristics for conventional thermoplastic polymers is a topic that has received a lot of attention. A simple manufacturing process has been used for making planter mold. Component 3D printing approaches for planter mold building are examined in my work along with their benefits & drawbacks. It also presents an overview of existing techniques for the creation of planter molds by using 3d printing methodology. To make glass FRP planters PLA was interlaced with 0.03 mm thick fiber glass sheets & afterwards tensile tested.As a result of this experiment, it was determined whether or not adding more layers would result in an increase in the tensile properties of glass fiber reinforced polymers.Fiber glass layers may be stacked up to a max. Of four millimeters in thickness & also the maximum number of layers has been determined. Result shows that tensile strength begins to decrease beyond this optimal number of fiber glass layers. Uniformity of the hybrid is inspected by ultrasonic test. The focus of this case study is on the experimental analyzing the design, fabrication and quality improvement procedure in 3D printed planters.
