Formation of Threaded Surfaces in the Components Produced by 3D Printing

Resumo

The following two methods of formation of threaded surfaces on FDM components are considered: cutting with a hand-guided threading tool in a workpiece fabricated by 3D printing and 3D printing of components with initially simulated threaded surfaces in inner and outer cylindrical surfaces. The fabrication of threaded surfaces by 3D is found to be promising as compared to cutting. Printing is shown to be adjusted so that threaded components are produced under specific conditions, which differ from the printing conditions of the base material.
