  • Optimization of the technological parameters in the hybrid manufacturing of 3D printing and milling [Elektronski vir]
    Grguraš, Damir ...
    Products with highly complex geometries are sometimes difficult to produce in a conventional way by machining. Then it is an easier and more affordable solution to create products with additive ... manufacturing that has a weakness for slightly reduced quality of the external surface. This weakness can be improved by additional machining. Such hybrid manufacturing is presented in this paper. Fused deposition modeling (FDM) was used for creating a product and afterwards outer surface was improved with milling. Today's FDM systems use standard nozzle size with diameter of D = 0.4 mm. In this research bigger nozzle size (diameter D = 1.1 mm) was applied in order to achieve shorter time of production. Optimization of technological parameters of hybrid manufacturing according to the minimum time of production, a minimum final surface roughness and minimal usage of material was carried out. Those optimal results were compared for both standard and bigger nozzle size.
