Assessment of quality and cost of manufacturing agricultural machinery made by FDM method
Journal Title: Journal of Research and Applications in Agricultural Engineering (ISSN 1642-686X) - Year 2018, Vol 63, Issue 1
Abstract
The use of 3D printing technology allows to make simple machine parts including agricultural machinery in home conditions using FDM printers. Printing technology can be used to produce machine components that are subject to accelerated wear or variable strains that damage them. It is an alternative to parts made of plastics whose cost is significant and the availability is limited. The article presents an analysis of the quality of printed elements and the cost of their production from one of the most commonly used printing material which is ABS. The FENDT 412 Vario tractor engine cover latch assembly was analyzed. The results of the research indicate the possibility of using 3D printers for the production of agricultural machine parts in the home conditions. Elements with the required shape and strength were obtained at much lower production costs.
