Dimensionamento e fabricação de uma extrusora de polímeros

Abstract

Faced with the great increase in the technology of 3D printers, it is necessary to increase the production of polymers however it is known that these materials are still little reused. The interesting way to reuse these materials is to turn them into filaments for 3D printers. Faced with this challenge, this project intends to build a prototype of a polymer extruder to produce filaments in a simple and low cost way because the majority of the available equipment found on market are industrial scale and, therefore, its cost is still very high. The following work presents some steps of the manufacturing of a prototype realized with the majority of the resources, tools and available materials from the Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná. The purpose of the prototype is in upcoming work, be improved and get better results.
