The 3d Printing Implementation in Manufacturing of Automobile Components

Abstract

The paper is focused on the issue of 3D printing and its possible use in automotive production. It introduces the principle of 3D printing and its main advantages. An automobile disk production is demonstrated using 3D printing. The process of the disc production is realized in steps disc design, CAD model creation, wall thickness analysis, STL format creation and loading, 3D print parameters definition, printing process visualization in software environment, and 3D printing process itself.

Investigation of Sustainable Geopolymer Composite Using Automatic Identification Technology

“…One of those was the thickness of deposit dust of geopolymer composite [25], which started at 5 and ended at 20 mm. Another various factor [26] was the filler percentage in the geopolymer mixture. Figure 5 presents a view of geopolymer composite materials after microscopy scanning.…”

“…Figure 6 shows the deposition process of the geopolymer mixture [22,23], as well as the entire measurement assembly. The filler in this experiment consisted of recycled car windscreens mixture [26,27]. The first sample of measurements was performed at a filler ratio of 5%, and the final geopolymer mixture contained up to 20% of the filler.…”

Assessment of the accuracy of 3D printed medical models through reverse engineering

“…Additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing is a technology that is currently being used in several application areas, as adding materials layer by layer has given the manufacturing industry a plethora of choices. AM technologies are widely used in aerospace [ 1 ], automotive [ 2 ], construction [ 3 ], supply chain [ 4 ], food [ 5 ], electronics [ 6 ], medical [ 7 ], repairing structures [ 8 ], energy [ 9 ] and sustainability and recycling [ 10 ]. They have been used in various engineering applications from rapid prototyping to low-volume manufacturing to highly customized businesses.…”

Statistical Analysis of Gyroscopic Data to Determine Machine Health in Additive Manufacturing

“…Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is an innovative and transformative technology that has the potential to disrupt traditional design and manufacturing practices developed over the past two centuries [1,2]. AM has been implemented in the fields of optics [3], construction [4], medicine [5,6], food processing [7], dental [8,9], biotechnology [10], mechanical systems [11][12][13][14], aerospace [15], automobile [16][17][18], electrical [19,20], electronic [21][22][23], and fashion [24,25]. Although 3D printing offers various advantages, such as decreased lead times and the ability to produce intricate geometries, several barriers remain to hinder its widespread adoption.…”
