Abstract

In 3D printing technologies, many parameters should be optimized for obtaining a part with higher quality. FDM (fused deposition modeling) printer has also diverse parameters to be optimized. Among them, it can be said that nozzle temperature and moving speed of nozzle are fundamental parameters. Thus, it should be preceded to know the optimal combination of the two parameters in the use of FDM 3D printer. In this paper, a new method is proposed to estimate the range of the stable combinations of the two parameters, based on the single line quality. The proposed method was verified by comparing the results between single line printing and multi-layered single line printing. Based on the comparison, it can be said that the proposed method is very meaningful in that it has a simple test approach and can be easily implemented. In addition, it is very helpful to provide the basic data for the optimization of process parameters.

3D 프린팅 기술에 있어서, 각각의 기술들은 고품질의 출력물을 얻기 위해서는 최적화해야 할 다양한 인자들을 가지고 있다. FDM (fused deposition modeling) 방식의 3D 프린터 또한 최적화해야 할 다수의 인자들이 있다. 그 중에서도 노즐 온도와 노즐 이송 속도는 가장 기본이 되는 인자라고 할 수 있다. 안정적인 출력이 가능한 두 인자의 조합을 찾는 것은 FDM 장비를 이용한 출력에 있어서 가장 먼저 선행되어야 할 일이다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 두 인자 조합에 따라 단일 라인 출력을 수행하였고, 얻어진 출력 결과물을 평가를 통하여 안정적인 출력이 가능한 범위를 선정하는 새로운 방법을 제시하였다. 제시한 방법을 통하여 평가한 안정적 조건 범위들을 동일 범위 조건 아래에서 다층 단일 라인 출력을 통하여 검증하였다. 그 결과, 단일 라인과 다층 단일 라인 출력이 동일한 안정적 범위를 보이고 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이는 본 논문에서 제안한 단일 라인 평가법을 다층 출력의 안정성을 그대로 반영할 수 있음을 보여 준다. 이상의 결과들로 볼 때, 제안한 방법은 간단한 실험과 측정 방법을 이용하여 손쉽게 수행 될 수 있다는 점과 공정 변수들의 최적화를 위한 기본 데이터를 제공한다는 점에서도 그 의미를 찾을 수 있었다.
