Abstract
A very simple and cheap joining technique is using the snap joints. They are a characteristic type of joint used for polymer materials, since the material properties (flexibility) and moulding potential of polymers are particularly conducive to this kind of connection. The latest manufacturing processes take into account the additive technologies using 3D printers and different materials. The authors developed an experimental setup for testing different materials, such as ABS and PLA, different fill factors, friction coefficients between parts and different geometries for snap joints. Also a FEM simulation of mechanical behaviour, developed in solidworks presents the differences between solutions and underline the advantages and disadvantages of each snap joint solution. The experimental setup allows fast changing of snap joints parts. This research aims the study of behaviour of 3D Printed machine elements like: springs, bearings, clutches, gears, bellows, diaphragms, bushes, brakes, sliders, etc. developed previously by authors.
