“…In terms of cost and time of production, it has been proven that these parameters were significantly reduced compared to the comparative technology. As demonstrated in several studies (as in [16]), the additive manufacturing can represent the right option for a large gamma of industrial products. Furthermore, additional savings could be realized using an integrated approach for the full cost optimization of the process as a whole, instead of moving toward single steps of reduction for additive manufacturing and, separately, vacuum casting.…”

“…The layer thickness and vertical accuracy depends on the diameter of a nozzle. They use different types of materials including ABS plastic, polyamide, polycarbonate, polyethylene, polypropylene and melted wax [3,4,5,6,14]. As it is getting ready for printing, the machine that controls the FDM process where the algorithm is developed, accumulates all the factors and steps that lead to the most appropriate options for making an object and enabling better orientation of user.…”

“…Benefits of Additive Manufacturing according to [2,3,4,5,10,14] are: innovation, part consolidation, lower energy consumption, less waste, reduced time to market, lightweighting, agility of manufacturing operations. Otherwise, selection of AM technology in development and conquering new or improving existing products is predominantly influenced by three key factors: quality, costs and time.…”

This paper presents the advantages and the process of making of complex functional parts using additive manufacturing technology. Design and manufacturing of components were performed at the Laboratory for Technology of Plasticity and Processing Systems at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Banja Luka. The parts were designed using SolidWorks and Catia software packages. Then, CatalystEX and Simplify3D software packages were used to process the CAD model and to prepare it for 3D printing, which included defining of the process parameters, generating layers and support. Functional parts were produced on 3D printers based on the principle of material extrusion. The results of this study show that additive manufacturing technology, specifically technology based on material extrusion, enables very fast production of complex functional parts, with high accuracy and much lower costs and development time compared to conventional technologies.
