What is it about?

The paper presents an experimental study that has as main objective the evaluation of the integration capacity of the spur gears obtained by FDM in high precision mechanisms. The development of precision mechanical systems required the use of the additive layer manufacturing technology in order to manufacture the gears that have specific particularities for the applications in which gears are integrated. Take these aspects into consideration, the paper presents the results achieved by testing on a ZWP-06 machine the gears obtained by fused deposition modeling technology. Gears were obtained on an Anet A2, semiprofessional 3D printer.

Why is it important?

The experimental results show that: 1. The steel gear could be considered for Quality range = 4; (DIN3960/3963) 2. The ABS gear could be considered for Quality range = 4;( DIN3960/3963) 3. The PLA gear could be considered for Quality range = 5;( DIN3960/3963)

Perspectives

The paper presents an experimental study that has as main objective the evaluation of the integration capacity of the spur gears obtained by FDM in high precision mechanisms. The authors developed several studies in order to evaluate the mechanical behavior of printed machine elements like: springs, gears, clutches, bearings, etc.
