Abstract

Significant improvements to the throughput of additive manufacturing (AM) processes are essential to their cost-effectiveness and competitiveness with traditional processing routes. Moreover, these processes, in combination with the geometric versatility of AM, will enable entirely new workflows for product design and customization. Fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing is a low-cost and a famous 3D-printing technique, but the inevitable drawback of a longer printing time lingers along. In accordance to commercial and industrial point of view, it is imperative that for acquiring efficiency 3D-printing speed must be enhanced while considerably decreasing printing time. Reported research discloses the embodiment of the invention comprising of dual rectangular coordinate axis system, which moves the extruder assembly and 3D printing place in such a correlated manner that the 3D-printing speed increases and time for 3D printing decreases. The fundamental working of this epitome of invention underlining the smooth functioning, based on dual actuators along each axis operated by any common firmware, controller and electronic system. Common slicing software is used to generate G-code for 3D printing. Thus, this paragon of invention in 3D-printing field has new way of fast 3D printing with good 3D-printing finishing. In the reported research, fast dual rectangular axis-correlated kinematics fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printer raises the possibility of new use cases and business models for AM, where handheld parts are built in minutes rather than hours. Adaptation of this technology to print accurate parts requiring less printing time is also of interest.
