FDM
The method uses a filament material (paraffin, metal, plastic, low melting point alloy wire) as a raw material, and electrically heats the wire to a temperature slightly higher than the melting temperature (about 1°C higher than the melting point). Under the control of a computer, the nozzle moves on the xy plane, and the molten material is coated on the workbench. After cooling, a layer of section of the workpiece is formed. After the layer is formed, the nozzle moves up for one layer high, and the next layer is coated. Three-dimensional work piece is formed by accumulation layer by layer.This craft has low pollution and the material could be recycled for printing small and medium-sized parts.

Features:

1. Advantages: (1) The operating environment is clean and safe in the office class; (2) The process is clean, simple, easy to operate and does not produce waste; (3) It is high in dimensional accuracy, good in surface quality, easy in assembly, and could quickly construct the bottle-shape or hollow parts; (4) The raw materials are supplied in the form of reel wire for easy handling and quick replacement of the amount; (5) The raw materials are cheap in price; (6) The material is high in the utilization; (7) There are many materials for selection, such as the dyed ABS, PLA and medical ABD, PC, PPSF, artificial rubber, and casting wax.

 

2. Disadvantages: (1)The precision is low and difficult to build parts with complex structures; (2) The strength perpendicular to the cross section is small; (3) The molding speed is relatively slow and is not suitable for building large parts.

    Produce parts with high-quality appearance.
    There are many factors affecting appearance of injection molding parts. RPS craft operation manual describes the importance of parts’geometrical shape, material choice and mold design in terms of reducing or eliminating appearance defects such as sink mark, welding line, gleam, burning and other problems appearing during the molding process. Through understanding the solution to appearance problems at a early time, the final appearance of injection molding parts can be improved.
