Commercialization of additive manufacturing material extrusion process parameter selection and optimization - a solar absorber housing fabrication application
摘要
Additive manufacturing (AM) material extrusion (MEx) is a technology that creates customized products layer by layer with thermoplastic polymers. In additive manufacturing, the process parameter is considered to control the operation of the production machine and has a great influence on the mechanical property of the final product. Therefore, by choosing the best process parameter in additive manufacturing, we can achieve high production and commercialization development in less time. In this research, it is aimed to find the suitable process parameter for 4 % weight of walnut wood fiber (WWF) blended polylactic acid (PLA) which is a biodegradable material to commercialize the solar absorber housing part. For this the latest mathematical programming technique spice logic advance analytical software is used. As a result of this research infill density of 50 %, printing speed of 80 mm/s, temperature of the nozzle of 220 °C, shell count of 4, and extruder travel speed of 90 mm/s of sample 3 has been found as suitable process parameters for manufacturing solar absorber housing parts using WWF-blended PLA.
