Abstract

The performance assessment of additive manufacturing (AM) printers is still a challenge since no dedicated standard exists. This paper proposes a systematic method for evaluating the dimensional and geometrical performance of such machines using the concept of machine performance. The method was applied to an Ultimaker 2+ printer producing parts with polylactic acid (PLA). The X and Y axes of the printer were the most performant and led to narrower potential and real tolerance intervals than the Z axis. The proposed systematic framework can be used to assess the performance of any material extrusion printer and its achievable tolerance intervals.

评估材料挤压印刷机机器性能的系统方法

由于没有专门的标准，对增材制造（AM）打印机进行性能评估仍是一项挑战。本文提出了一种使用机器性能概念评估此类机器尺寸和几何性能的系统方法。该方法适用于使用聚乳酸 (PLA) 生产零件的 Ultimaker 2+ 打印机。与 Z 轴相比，打印机的 X 轴和 Y 轴性能最好，潜在公差和实际公差区间更小。建议的系统框架可用于评估任何材料挤出打印机的性能及其可实现的公差范围。
