Scanning Path Planning

The scanning process of fused deposition modeling is realizing the fill of certain region, Therefore, reasonable scanning path planning directly affects the forming efficiency and the precision of the work piece. The method of Hilbert curve fractal scanning path which basing on the characteristics of both partition and parallel scanning is put forward basing on the analysis of the existing scanning mode. Application of improved curve filling method for complex curved surface forming planning, according to the characteristics of the Hilbert curve and Hamilton circuit, combined with the characteristics of the scanned level scan path trajectory planning, generate a continuous and comprehensive function value which the weight minimum scanning track under the premise of ensuring the quality of scanning. In order to avoid the generation of island type trajectory, setting a decimal for each loop can easily distinguish between each circuit, finally obtains the scan trajectory. The method can be used to generate scanning track continuous greatly reducing the spray head start and stop times and improves the processing efficiency of the whole, not only to meet the accuracy requirements and can generate non scanning path interference but also high forming efficiency.

In the fields of agriculture, medical treatment, food, and packaging, polymers are required to have the characteristics of self-cleaning, anti-icing, and anti-corrosion. The traditional preparation method of hydrophobic coatings is costly and the process is complex, which has special requirements on the surface of the part. In this study, fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing technology with design and processing flexibility was applied to the preparation of hydrophobic coatings on polylactic acid (PLA) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) parts, and the relationship between the printing process parameters and the surface roughness and wettability of the printed test parts was discussed. The experimental results show that the layer thickness and filling method have a significant effect on the surface roughness of the 3D-printed parts, while the printing speed has no effect on the surface roughness. The orthogonal experiment analysis method was used to perform the wettability experiment analysis, and the optimal preparation process parameters were found to be a layer thickness of 0.25 mm, the Grid filling method, and a printing speed of 150 mm/s.

Tool Motion

Most additive manufacturing (AM) processes are layer-based with three linear motions in the X, Y, and Z axes. However, there are drawbacks associated with such limited motions, e.g., nonconformal material properties, stair-stepping effect, and limitations on building-around-inserts. Such drawbacks will limit AM to be used in more general applications. To enable 6-axis motions between a tool and a work piece, we investigated a Stewart mechanism and the feasibility of developing a low-cost 3D printer for the multidirectional fused deposition modeling (FDM) process. The technical challenges in developing such an AM system are discussed including the hardware design, motion planning and modeling, platform constraint checking, tool motion simulation, and platform calibration. Several test cases are performed to illustrate the capability of the developed multidirectional AM system. A discussion of future development on multidirectional AM systems is also given.

The paper shows the importance of designing an ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene) plastic part which will be produced using FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology; it is obtained a product with the same characteristics provided by the operating guide book. Thus, this solution combines both the capacity of the designer as well as the applied technology and can produce similar or improved plastic components, at the same time maintaining the functional characteristics of the work piece. This paper is a plea for the application of 3D printing using FDM technology for manufacturing components (spare parts) out of production, because the technological systems users no longer have other solutions available for replacing outworn plastic parts. 3D printing using FDM technology is a fast option for replacing outworn components, the modeling, simulation and printing time being shorter than the purchase time of a new subassembly or assembly that has been remanufactured and modernized.

A method is presented based on geometric-curvature characteristics in which a scanning path planning for laser bending of a straight tube into a curve tube in a two- and three-dimensional space. In a two-dimensional (plane) bending, the steel tube is divided into several segments according to the extreme point and inflection point of the desired shape of the tube, taking the extreme point as the initial place of the path planning, using different scanning space for every segment in order to identify the scanning paths. For a tube bending in a three-dimensional space, a projection decomposition method is used, where the three-dimensional is decomposed into two two-dimensions, and respective scanning path planning and process parameters are thus acquired. By combining the data in the two-dimensional planes, the three-dimensional scanning path plan was obtained. Finally, an experimental verification is carried out to bend straight tubes into a two-dimensional sinusoidal and a three-dimensional helical coil-shaped tube. The results show that the proposed method of scanning path planning is effective and feasible.

In this article, a method for two-dimensional scanning path planning based on robot is proposed. In this method, a section division algorithm based on neighborhood search method for scanning orientation determination is firstly produced. The scanning paths which meet constraints of the system are then generated. Finally, the experiment is carried out on robot-based scanning platform. The two-dimensional data from scanner and the robot position are combined to form three-dimensional surface data of measured workpiece. The experiment results verify the effectiveness of proposed method.
