Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is one of the best Rapid Prototyping Processes proved to be. Many researchers have produced a lot of work using the FDM process and many papers were published. Many researchers have concentrated on optimizing the parameters to obtain higher surface finish. Burnishing is one of the processes used to get higher surface finish on light metals. The present paper deals with the application of burnishing process on the samples fabricated with FDM. The burnishing process is applied on the samples at different speeds and the surface finish results are recorded in the present experimentation.

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is one of the most commonly used additive manufacturing (AM) technologies, which has found application in industries to meet the challenges of design modifications without significant cost increase and time delays. Process parameters largely affect the quality characteristics of AM parts, such as mechanical strength and surface finish. This article aims to optimize the parameters for enhancing flexural strength and surface finish of FDM parts. A total of 18 test specimens of polycarbonate (PC)-ABS (acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene) material are printed to analyze the effect of process parameters, viz. layer thickness, build orientation, and infill density on flexural strength and surface finish. Empirical models relating process parameters with responses have been developed by using response surface regression and further analyzed by analysis of variance. Main effect plots and interaction plots are drawn to study the individual and combined effect of process parameters on output variables. Response surface methodology was employed to predict the results of flexural strength 48.2910 MPa and surface roughness 3.5826 µm with an optimal setting of parameters of 0.14-mm layer thickness and 100% infill density along with horizontal build orientation. Experimental results confirm infill density and build orientation as highly significant parameters for impacting flexural strength and surface roughness, respectively.

Abstract In this paper, a framework for the rapid prototyping of lower-pair, geared-pair and cam mechanisms using a commercially available CAD package and a Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) rapid prototyping machine is presented. A database of lower kinematic pairs (joints) is developed experimentally. Geared-pair and cam mechanisms are also developed. These mechanisms are then used in the design of the prototypes. Examples are presented in order to demonstrate the potential of this technique. Physical prototypes can be of great help in the design of mechanisms by allowing the 3D visualization of the mechanism as well as providing an experimental validation of the geometric and kinematic properties.

The article focuses on the samples production of organic material PLA-PolyLacticAcid – bioplastic. The main part describes the experimental testing of PolyLacticAcid plastic and sample production by Fused Deposition Modeling, Rapid Prototyping technology. The article presents selected carried out tests of mechanical properties focused mainly on the determination of ultimate tensile strength of two PLA-BIO plastic extruded horizontally along the width produced by FDM method, Rapid Prototyping. The authors of this article present their results of test materials in the form of measurement protocols recorded in software, the measured values in a static tensile test, recorded in tables and shown in work graphs. Based on the results of the two samples produced from PLA biomaterials and compared to determine which PLA – bioplastic is stronger.

The aims of this research is to improve the design of IV cannula stopper or also known as heparin cap by utilizing the application of product design and development approach and employing Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) machine. For this reason, the user requirements to identified target specifications and concept generation were proposed and the IV cannula stopper prototypes were fabricated using Rapid Prototyping technology (RP). This research would give an improvement over existing standard of IV cannula. The generated design from this research will improve the handling of IV cannula as well as ensuring its safety during the operation of IV cannula.

In the process of Fused Deposition molding (Fused Deposition Modeling, FDM), because the 3 d design is disconnected with manufacturing (or process), and prototype and precision is influenced by many factors, there are many disadvantages such as much design rework, difficult processing, low efficiency and high cost. Based on the concept of Design for Manufacturing ((Design for Manufacturing, DFM), this paper analyzes several factors that influence the forming accuracy, and puts forward the corresponding solutions to improve rapid prototyping manufacture parts strength and forming precision, combined with the actual rapid prototyping processing. It has certain reference value in the study of parameter selection and structure improvement of FDM process oriented component design.

Studies and researches in medical devices made evident the need of new systems and technologies for locomotors recovery of human body as to reduce the reintegration time in normal activities and, not the least, to improve the recovery quality, to give the possibility to perform natural movements identical to those before the suffered injury. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to obtain the 3D virtual model of a mechanism describing the hand kinematics, and a real medical prototype device to be used in locomotors recovery of the hand. In order to perform the movements, pneumatic fluidic actuators are used, considering that they are flexible, small, made especially for this project. A specialized software for assisted design is used to obtain the virtual model and for the fabrication of device component parts Rapid-Prototyping technology is applied, the Fused Deposition Modeling principle (FDM).

Biomimetic robots borrow their structure, senses and behavior from animals, such as humans or insects, and plants. Biomimetic design is design ofa machine, a robot or a system in engineeringdomain thatmimics operational and/orbehavioral model of a biological system in nature. 3D printing technology has another name as rapid prototyping technology. Currently it is being developed fastly and widely and is applied in many fields like the jewelry, footwear, industrial design, architecture, engineering and construction, automotive, aerospace, dental and medical industry, education, geographic information system, civil engineering, guns. 3D printing technology is able to manufacture complicated, sophisticated details that the traditional processing method cannot manufacture. Therefore, 3D printing technology can be seen as an effective tool in biomimetic, which can accurately simulate most of the biological structure. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a technology of the typical rapid prototyping. The main content of the article is the focusing on tensile strength test of the ABS-Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene material after using Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology, concretization after it’s printed by UP2! 3D printer. The article focuses on two basic features which are Tensile Strength and Determination of flexural properties.
