Improving the Print Quality of an Additive-Capable Robotic Cell by Optimizing the Cooling Unit

Le résumé fourni par la source

Robotics and additive manufacturing are revolutionizing the manufacturing industry by enabling automated and personalized production.By combining the two technologies, it is possible to print large print objects such as a canoe for a person.This paper examines the importance of cooling in the additive manufacturing and how it can affect the shape, accuracy and surface finish of the printed part.It also discusses the use of an industrial robot to fabricate additive objects and the use of polylactide granules as the printing material.The paper addresses several factors that can affect the print quality of a 3D printer, specifically addressing melted layer aeration and cooling.The paper concludes with a discussion of a new cooling system implemented and its potential for further improvement.This new cooling system has made improvements both in terms of measured values and visually, but there is still potential for further improvement.
