Abstract:Three-dimensional printing has great advantages in manufacturing parts with complex internal structures. At present, there are still significant challenges in the unsupported 3D printing of thick-walled parts with inner runners. In this paper, a partitioning method for support-free-fabricating workparts with a built-in inner runner structure is proposed and discussed in detail. With the method, partitioning planes are firstly created according to the direction changes of the inner runner, a “top to bottom” met… Show more
