Abstract: Stereolithographic digital light processing (DLP) printing is a liquid-based additive manufacturing process, where 3D parts are made by curing a photosensitive polymer kept in vat. In this paper, the in-house DLP printer is presented. It uses two spindles for coarse and fine positioning in z-axis. A printer resolution is determined by printing inclined channels of different depths. At this development level the resolution is below 100 µm and it is to be further improved. Suitable process parameters are determined, a micromixer is manufactured and compared to the micromixer produced by casting. Better machining results are obtained by printing, but casting is more suitable for large scale production.

 

Key words: Additive manufacturing, DLP stereolithography, micromixer.

Abstract: The electrical discharge machining is a method that could be applied to obtain cylindrical external surfaces, inclusively by using tube type tool electrodes. To diminish the shape errors due to the presence of the metallic electroconductive particles detached from the two electrodes in the work zone, a machining scheme based on the achieving of the vertical work movement by the workpiece from up to down was preferred. An experimental research in accordance with the requirements of a full factorial experiment with three independent variables at two variation levels was performed. As independent variables, the pulse on time, pulse off time and peak current were considered, while as process output parameters the tool electrode massic and linear wear were determined. Empirical mathematical models were established and they highlighted the stronger influence exerted by the peak current intensity. The correlation coefficient was calculated also for the values obtained by the two distinct ways of evaluating the tool electrode wear.

 

Key words: ram electrical discharge machining, machining scheme, tool electrode wear, massic wear, linear wear, empirical mathematical model, correlation coefficient.

Graphical modeling of gear tooth generating process with rack-shaped tool aiming constant area of detached chips

Abstract: The process of machining with rack shaped tool the cylindrical involute gears is commonly performed on MAAG machine tools, having wide applications in practice. Despite this process is fundamentally rigorous, at the same time it is characterized by a large variation of detached chip area, which negatively influences the toothing process productivity. This paper addresses the case of gear teeth generating with a multi-tooth rack-shaped tool, approached on the base of CATIA graphical modeling. It is proposed a modification of the rolling process, taking part between the centrodes attached to both workpiece and tool, such as the sum of the chips areas that are simultaneously detached by tool teeth at each stroke becomes quasi-constant. Thereby, a variation law for workpiece circular feed is determined, without altering the rolling condition, which would have as consequence the unwanted modification of generated teeth profile. This type of feed variation law can be implemented on NC machine tools of newest generation, provided with the possibility of driving the rolling kinematical chain with non-uniform, adjustable speed.

 

Key words: gear tooth machining, rack shaped tool, uniform area of detached chip, circular feed variation law, graphical modeling.

Abstract: One of the key elements of digital manufacturing is a simulation i.e. virtual modelling of all processes that belong to the manufacturing value chain. This paper aims at estimating the surface deviation error in the free form surfaces machining error and estimate the effect on quality of the measuring process. A set of virtual experiments was designed by applying the central composite design approach of response surface methodology. The first set of virtual experiments determined the optimum tool path strategy. The second set of virtual experiment optimization inspection parameter to achieve maximum measuring accuracy and minimum measuring time. Fully developed methodology was applied to mold turbine blade.

 

Key words: virtual optimization, sculptured surface, manufacturing, inspection, digital manufacturing, response surface methodology, mathematical modelling.

Abstract: Product designers and engineers can benefit from the rapid production of prototypes with characteristics that closely resemble those of finished products. In the case of plastic objects which include rubber-like surfaces, existing manufacturing options are either expensive or are impractical, limiting their use of rapid prototypes. This paper presents a method of fabricating rapid prototypes by combining rigid and soft materials through an overmolding process, thus providing a fast and cheap way to obtain feedback regarding form-and-feel characteristics during the design process. Functional objects can be also produced using the proposed method, enhancing part design freedom. Elastomers are injected or cast into molds attached to 3D-printed rigid parts in order to form functional soft surfaces. Several solutions of binding elastomer to parts fabricated using Fused Filament Deposition (FDM) are presented, including multiple ways to produce the bonding of materials. Chemical bonding and mechanical bonding using specifically designed geometries or exploiting the interior structure of 3D-printed parts are proposed. Objects made from rigid plastics overmolded with elastomers are produced for exemplification. A time and cost analysis is also included as reference and for comparison with other manufacturing methods.

 

Keywords: 3D Printing, prototyping, form and feel, elastomer, overmolding.

Abstract: This paper presents a comparative analysis conducted by the authors in the field of robotic machining. The scope of the analysis was to compare light machining operations performed on various materials using an articulated-arm industrial robot equipped with a radially compliant end-effector. Thus, the experimental procedures were conducted on aluminium, wood and plastic. The approached machining operations were milling, chamfering and surface finishing. The goal of the research was to determine the values of the machining forces and to evaluate the influence of the end-effector compliance on machining results. The approach chosen for the experimental procedures was having the workpiece clamped on a dynamometer by using modular fixturing components. The equipment used for experimental purposes consisted of a six DOF articulated arm Kawasaki FS10E industrial robot with 10 kg. payload and a Kistler 9257B dynamometer for measuring the machining forces on three orthogonal directions corresponding to X, Y and Z axes of the part coordinate system. The robot was equipped with an ATI RC-340 radially compliant deburring tool. The robot programming method used during the experimental procedure was point to point block teaching using the teach pendant. The results were observed both visually and through the results shown by the Kistler dynamometer interface.

 

Key words: robotic milling, machining forces, chamfering, surface finishing, dynamometer, force measurement.
