Abstract

The presented scientific article deals with the influence of the orientation of the model and used photopolymer resins during additive manufacturing using the Digital Light Processing (DLP) method on the resulting surface roughness of the models. The examined component is a cuboid with dimensions of 14 mm × 7 mm × 28 mm. A total of five orientations of the component in the Y axis (0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°) were used in this experiment. The examined samples were produced on a Zortrax Inkspire DLP 3D printer, where three parts were produced for each orientation and material. The surface roughness parameters (Ra, Rz, Rq) were measured on the printed samples using a Mitutoyo SJ-210 roughness meter. In this experiment, a total of 30 samples were produced, i.e., three samples for each of the orientations for each material used. Considering the analysis of literary studies, we can conclude that the area of surface roughness in the process of DLP technology was addressed only by a minimum of authors. Regarding research on the influence of model orientation on surface roughness in the DLP technology process, the authors Hanon and Zsidai in [1] report that the orientation of the part model has a significant effect on surface roughness. In their experiment, they prove that the best orientation of the model in relation to the least surface roughness is at the 0° and 90° orientations, just as the authors of this article point out.
