Análise de fatores de forma aplicados a manufatura aditiva

Abstract

The present research adapts form factors and relates the complexity of parts with the time and cost of manufacturing by Additive Manufacturing, in order to obtain complexity data from CAD modeling, and relate them to manufacturing time, shown that in cases of more complex parts the use of these manufacturing methods is recommended. For this, a quantitative approach to the problem will be carried out, in which information and results will be obtained through print simulations. The results demonstrate that the complexity that best demonstrates the behavior of time is the complexity in volume and that the positioning at the printing table as well as the fill density has direct influence on the manufacturing time. With this it is possible to affirm that the complexity of parts has a direct relation with the time of printing, being thus, from the future, from the complexity, it is possible to define which improvements can be realized in a certain part design in order to optimize its time of production.
