Abstract Scope |
This study aims to explore the impact of various 3D printing parameters, notably raster angle, on the surface roughness of micromilled 316L stainless steel components produced through Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology. Utilizing BASF Ultrafuse 316L metal 3D printing filaments, comprising 80% 316L stainless steel powder and 20% resin, parts are printed at varying raster angles (0°, 30°, 45°, and 90°) and layer thicknesses, oriented flat and on the edge. The parts are machined in directions that align with or are perpendicular to the printing direction. The investigation involves measuring surface roughness to discern the relationship between machining direction, raster angle, and building direction. Additionally, correlations between surface roughness, raster angle, and apparent density of sintered parts will be established. This research contributes insights into optimizing 3D printing parameters for achieving desired surface qualities in metal components. |
