摘要
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a method for simulating the profile of part edges as a result of the FDM process. Deviations from nominal edge shape are predicted as a function of the layer thickness and three characteristic angles depending on part geometry and build orientation. Design/methodology/approach Typical patterns of edge profiles were observed on sample FDM parts and interpreted as the effects of possible toolpath generation strategies. An algorithm was developed to generate edge profiles consistent with the patterns expected for any combination of input variables. Findings Experimental tests confirmed that the simulation procedure can correctly predict basic geometric properties of edge profiles such as frequency, amplitude and shape of periodic asperities. Originality/value Compared to the statistical estimation of geometric errors, graphical simulation allows a more detailed characterization of edge quality and a better diagnosis of error causes.
