A brief explanation of the usage of the said equipment |
The machine is utilized for developing test samples and functional prototypes of PLA, ABS, PC, Nylon, Poly Methyl Meta Acrylate etc. The students learn to operate the machines and develop their prototypes after undergoing experiments which expose them to different problem areas related to plastic manufacturing like shrinkage, surface roughness, edge profiles, part deposition orientation and slicing of CAD models. They are also exposed to the effects of different process parameters like layer thickness, hatching patterns, nozzle temperature, part bed temperature, raster angle etc. on the developed part. With this setup, students should be able to comprehend the effect of different process parameters on: · The linear shrinkage of part. · How the surface roughness and edge profiles are affected by the part deposition orientation and slicing. · Volumetric shrinkage and its relation to different process parameters. |
