Reprojeto de impressora 3D de modelagem de deposição fundida

Abstract

Additive manufacturing is, in relative terms, an extremely recent manufacturing process. Despite this, this technology already inserted and established itself in several spheres of the society. In the industrial sector, for instance, the rapid prototyping is closely linked with the concept of industry 4.0 – associated with disruptive evolutions in the manner of producing. In this context, the current work aimed to present the complete redesign of the project of a 3D printer for industrial application. The benefited area is the Maintenance Engineering of a truck manufacturer. For the development of this work, the necessities of the sector were determined. Next, the scope of the project and the constraints regarding it were defined, either dimensional or budgetary. The following step was the selection of components, which had to obey the aforementioned constraints. Finally, a representation of this equipment was made through a CAD 3D software. Since the completion of this project, the Maintenance Engineering sector has the project of a viable 3D printer ready for the manufacturing of a prototype.
