Abstract

Rapid Prototyping(RP) technologies provide the ability to fabricate initial prototypes from various model materials. Stratasys' Fused Deposition Modeling(FDM) is a typical RP process that can fabricate prototypes out of plastic materials, and the parts made from FDM were often used as load-carrying elements. Because FDM deposits materials in about 300$\mu$m thin filament with designated orientation, parts made from FDM show anisotropic material properties. In this paper an analytic model was proposed to predict the tensile strength of FDM parts. Applying the Classical Lamination Theory, which was developed for laminated composite materials, a computer code was implemented. Tsai-Wu failure criterion was added to the code to predict the failure of the FDM parts. The tensile strengths predicted by the analytic model were compared with experimental data. The data and prediction agreed reasonably well to prove the validity of the model. In addition, a web-based advisory service(FDMAS) was developed to provide strength prediction and design rules for FDM parts.

쾌속조형(Rapid Prototyping)기술은 다양한 형태치 재료를 사용하여 초기모형을 제작할 수 있다. Stratasys사의 FDM은 플라스틱 재료로 조형물을 제작하는 대표적인 쾌속조형공정이다. 또한 FDM으로 제작된 부품들은 하중을 받는 구조용 재료로도 사용된다. FDM은 약 300$\mu$m 두께의 가는 필라멘트의 형태의 일정한 방향으로 재료를 적층하므로, FDM으로 제작된 부품들은 이방성 재료의 성질을 나타낸다. 본 연구에서는 FDM 부품의 인장강도를 예측하기 위한 해석방법을 제시하고자 한다. 복합재를 위한 Classical Lamination Theory를 사용하여 컴퓨터 코드를 작성하였다. FDM 제품의 파괴를 예측하기 위하여 계산펀드에 Tsai-Wu failure criterion 이론을 도입하였다. 해석방법에 의해 예상되는 인장강도와 실제 실험으로 얼은 수치를 비교하였다. 예상치가 측정치에 근사한 값을 보이므로 본 계산식의 타당성이 입증되었다. 덧붙여서 FDM의 강도계산과 설계규칙이 웹기반의 제안서비스(FDMAS)에서 제공된다.
