An Effect of Screw Extrusion Parameters on a Pottery Model Formed by a Clay Printing Machine

This paper presents a study of the screw extrusion parameters that affect on the appearance of clay filament for a clay printing machine. Traditionally, pottery models are formed by using paster mold or hand throwing, which require experienced and proficient workers to form the complex pottery models. Therefore, the clay printing machine has been developed to improve manual pottery fabrication to automatic construction. This machine has been modified based on the additive manufacturing (AM). To assess a capability material deposition of the clay printing machine, nozzle diameter, screw extruder velocity, and screw pitch were investigated as the printing parameters to evaluate a quality of clay filament. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to analyze main effect parameters. The experimental results showed that the 6 mm nozzle diameter, 19 mm/s screw extruder velocity and 24 mm screw pitch were the suitable printing parameters for providing an appropriate appearance of clay filament. A mathematical model was formulated to propose the relationship between response and main effects with their interactions.

This paper presents design and development of plastic waste extruding machine to provide 3D printing filaments. The motivation of this research is to create a 3d printer filament from plastic waste using simple machine components. In addition, another goal is to create valuable items from plastic waste. The research process begins with design, needs analysis, machine rebuilding and electrical assembly, machine function testing, analysis of filament, and filament testing in 3D printing machine. The categories of shredded plastic material were plastic cups (polypropylene, PP) and a mixture of plastic bottles (polyethylene terepththalate, PET) and plastic cups (polypropylene, PP). The analysis of the research was the capacity of the extrusion machine, the best temperature in producing filaments based on shapes and sizes, and testing of 3D printing filaments of plastic waste which was applied to the 3D printing machine. The result showed that 190°C was the greater temperature to heat the barrel, machine capacity of each plastic waste category, and the characteristic plastic waste was almost similar compared to market filament of polylactic acid (PLA) in terms of filament size and 3D printing machine parameter.

Optimasi Parameter Proses 3D Printing Terhadap Kuat Tarik Material Filamen PLA + Menggunakan Metode Taguchi

FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) is one of the methods often usen by researchers in 3D printing technology which is used to print filaments products as a materials, due to the easy technique for 3D printing with relatively low production costs. One of the materials that can be processed in a 3D printing machine ia PLA+. Research in tensile testing has been done on PLA and ABS filaments. Meanwhile, tensile testing using PLA+ filaments is still rarely done. From these problems, research is needed to get the optimal process parameters on the 3D printing machine to get the highest tensile strenght value using PLA+ filaments. This research uses the taguchi method, carried out on a PRUSA area model FDM 3D Printing machine with dimensions of 300mm x 300mm x 350mm using a nozzle size of 0.4mm. The material used is PLA + Esun filament with a diameter of 1.75 mm with a variety of printing speed parameters (30 mm/s, 35 mm/s, 40 mm/s, 45 mm/s, 50 mm/s), nozzle temperature (1950C, 2000C, 2050C, 2100C, 2150C), layer thickness (0.10mm, 0.15mm, 0.20mm, 0.25mm, 0.30mm), cooling speed (20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%), orientation (00, 300, 450, 600,900) which will be determined in ideamaker 3.6.1 to produce 75 printed samples. This research aims to determine the optimal tensile strength value. From the research results there is an optimal tensile strength value, namely in experiment 10 with the parameter values of printing speed (35 mm/s), Nozzle Tenperature (2150C), Layer Thickness (0.10mm), Cooling speed (20%), and Orientation (450). with a tensile strength value of 48.1 MPa from 3 replications.

The Influence of Different Slicer Software on 3d Printing Products Accuracy and Surface Roughness

Rapid Prototyping (RP) is a manufacturing process that produces a 3D model CAD to be a real product rapidly by using additive manufacturing technology. In this case, the product will print layer by layer uses a 3D printer machine. The 3D printer requires slicer software to convert CAD data into data that a 3D printer machine can read. Research is done to analyze the effect of three kinds of slicer software on 3D printing objects on the accuracy and surface roughness of the product. The 3D model CAD is sliced using three different slicer software, namely Ideamaker, Repetier Host, and Cura. The slice model result from each slicer will be printed on a 3D printer machine with the same process parameters to be compared. Then the product's dimensional and surface roughness will be measured to determine the effect of each slicer on product quality. The best quality of the product reflected the most suitable slicer software for the 3D printing machine that used. The best results achieved by Cura slicer because it has resulted in small dimensional deviations (max 0,0308±0,0079) and stabile high surface roughness of the product (max 1,585+059).

Maintenance Preventive Scheduling of Critical Components in Offset Printing Machine (Case Study : PT. XYZ)

Maintenance activities are generally considered as supporting activities in the production process. However, this activity is very important because it contributes directly to the smooth running of the production process and productivity. PT. XYZ is a company engaged in mass media or newspapers since September 8, 2015. In the newspaper production process, PT. XYZ experienced delays in the production process due to damage to the component parts of the printing machine, in which the Offset printing machine is the core printing machine that is always used to print newspapers. Based on data on the frequency of damage during 2020 which was obtained from observations and interviews with operators, damage to machine components for 1 year on the offset printing machine counted 73 times that it was damaged. Thus making the machine stop operating from the effective working time of the machine, which is 264 days/year. This is due to the unavailability of a machine maintenance schedule because the company is still implementing a breakdown maintenance system. Thus the researcher aims to calculate the value of the identified critical components and calculate the effective time of machine operation for scheduling replacement of critical components of offset printing machines using the Reliability Centered Maintenance method. Based on the results of data processing using the Reliability Centered Maintenance method, the contactor component is determined as a critical component where the value of the Risk Priority Number is 72 with an average checking time of 11,250 minutes and component replacement time of 7 times/year. For this reason, it can be concluded that the contactor is a critical component with a damage value of 72 and the scheduling time for component replacement is 7 times in 1 year.
