Application of 3d Printing Technology for the Design and Manufacture of Some Component Parts of Spraying Machine With Solution Recovery

Abstract

The paper presents the design process of a Venturi injector, by checking and choosing a type of material with physical-mechanical properties necessary to obtain the best possible results during the work process. The injector is part of the solution recovery system from the vineyard spraying machine and was made with the FDM manufacturing technology by selectively depositing of molten material in a predetermined path, layer by layer. Materials used were ABSpro™, MagicFil™ Thermo PLA and Onyx. The presented results allow useful recommendations for the making of other components of agricultural machines using 3D modeling and printing technology.
