This paper presents results of tribological examinations of chosen automotive subassemblies made of plastics by using of 3D-printing. The influence of chosen technological parameters, i.e. plastic temperature, the velocity of printing head, and the height of deposited simple layer on wear of samples produced of PA 12 polymer rubbing against hard anodised sliding guide of car sunroof is defined. It was found that samples printed at minimal temperature (t = 240°C), a minimal height of deposited simple layer (h = 0,1 mm), and a minimal (40 mm/s) and maximal (v = 60 mm/s) deposition velocity show the minimal wear. Examining under similar conditions (p = 0.4 MPa, v = 2.5 m/s, reciprocating movement) of samples made by using press moulding cut out from car sub-assemblies for a comparison were carried out. As a result of experiments, it was concluded that the wear intensity of roller stretching drive belt made from composite (PA15GF) and the wear intensity of the belt itself during sliding, caused by seizure of bearing, is so high that menaces engine with damage.

The purpose of this research is to establish the technology of 3D printable production on the principle of FDM of gears made of PLA, ABS and PETG mainly. In the paper we present first the dimensional generation and specific aspects that need to be considered to produce gears with internal or external teeth of the cylindrical type with vertical or inclined teeth. Generating the gears appeared as a necessity for the reconditioning of the components of the processing machines and of the electric machines made both in the process of elaboration of the bachelor�s and the laboratory works, with reduced energy resource consumption and low pollution as low as possible. After the construction, we past to identify the dimension that have implications for both mechanical and kinematic resistance to achieve a product with good cinematic and functional characteristics. After that are made an analysis of the layers generated, both from the computer simulation and from the point of view of the analysis of layers physically generated on a gear tooth with external teeth.

The following work presents the results of research about the assessment of tribological properties of plastics used as components in modes of transport. For this purpose, the wear resistance of materials used in 3D printing (PA6CF and ABS), and extrusion moulding (PA) were tested. The tribological research was carried out with the use of the T-05 tester in the roller-block system. The samples in the form of cuboids with a concave rounding of one wall were made on a 3D printer using the FDM method. The counter-sample was a ring made of aluminium alloy subjected to anodizing. The research was carried out under a variable loads, in reciprocating motion, under dry friction conditions. After that the tribological characteristics were assessed. The research and analysis of the results confirmed the possibility of using selected plastics in modes of transport.

The objective of this paper is to determine how the supporting structure in the DLP 3D printing process has influences on the characteristics of the flat and cylindrical surfaces. The part is printed by using the Light Control Digital (LCD) 3D printer technology. A Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) with contact probes is used for measuring the physical characteristics of the printed part. Two types of experiment were chosen by the authors to be made. The first part takes into consideration the influence of the density of the generated supports, at the bottom of the printed body on the characteristics of the flat surface. In parallel, it is studying the impact of support density on the dimension and quality of the surface. In the second part of the experiment, the influence of the printed supports dimension on the flatness, straightness and roundness of the printed elements were examined. It can be observed that both the numerical and dimensional optimum zones of the support structure for a prismatic element could be determined, according to two experiments carried out and the processing of the resulting data. Based on standardized data of flatness, straightness and roundness, it is possible to put in accord the values determined by measurement within the limits of standardized values.

The article presents the results of studies on the influence of the addition of graphite to a PLA filament on linear wear and the coefficient of friction. A cylinder of 8 millimetre diameter manufactured in Fused Filament Fabrication process, popularly called 3D printing was used as a specimen. Studies were conducted on pin-on-disc testing machine, in which the cylinders mentioned above were paired with a steel disc – the counter-specimen. Specimens used in research were enriched by 5%, 10%, 20%, and 30% of graphite in comparison to the base filament – Natural PLA, which were not enriched with any additions that could improve its tribological properties. The experiment was conducted as a preliminary research. The gained results create a basis to select the optimal composition of additions to the PLA to create a filament with better tribological properties.

The mass application of FDM technology is slowed down due to the difficulty of selecting 3D printing parameters in order to manufacture an article with the required characteristics. This paper reports a study into the impact of 3D printing parameters (temperature, print speed, layer height) on mechanical parameters (strength, elasticity module), as well as on the accuracy of printing and roughness of the surface of a specimen based on thermoplastic (PLA plastic). Several batches of specimens were fabricated for this study in accordance with ASTM D638 and ASTM D695, which were tested for tension, geometric accuracy, and roughness. Based on the experimental data, regression analysis was carried out and the functional dependences of the strength, elasticity module, printing precision, roughness of a surface on 3D printing parameters (temperature, speed, thickness of the layer) were constructed. In addition, the derived mathematical model underlying a method of non-linear programming has established such printing parameters that could provide for the required properties of a structure. The analytical dependences reported in the current work demonstrate a high enough determination factor in the examined range of parameters. Using functional dependences during the design phase makes it possible to assess the feasibility of its manufacture with the required properties, reduce the time to work out the process of printing it, and give recommendations on the technological parameters of 3D printing. The recommendations from this study could be used to make PLA-plastic articles for various purposes with the required properties

Abstract The relevance of the work is determined by a fundamentally new direction of 3D printing in the manufacture of ship models for hydrodynamic testing. In this paper, we study the towing drag of a model of a small boat manufactured using additive three-dimensional printing technologies. Based on the dimensions of the 3D printers used and the technological parameters of working with them, as well as the design features of the test pool, small-sized vessels of a series of kayaks, kayaks and canoes, which are of sufficient length, but not too wide and high, were investigated as a prototype of the future model, which is ideal under the methods of additive manufacturing. A base of prototypes of vessels of this class has been compiled and a rationale has been given for the choice of the prototype vessel itself for research, including an analysis of the design of the vessels presented, the availability of design and technological documentation, as well as technological schemes for manufacturing the model. A 3D model of the vessel was developed, its optimization for 3D printing and analysis of geometric shapes for deviations from ITTC requirements. The study of deviations of the geometric shapes of the ship model from shrinkage deformations was carried out using 3D scanning with the development of a technological scheme for describing this process. When developing a 3D model, in the process of 3D printing, as well as processing the results of 3D scanning, modern software tools — FreeShip, Autodesk Inventor, Cloud Compare, and others — were used in the work. In the manufacture of the model, the new DPA adhesive compound formula was used, able to provide durable joints for PLA plastic products. It was found that the measurements prove the possibility of using 3D printing for the production of ship models for hydrodynamic testing, subject to all the nuances of the technology.
