Optimization of 3D Printing Parameters For The Fabrication of Kinematic Elements In Mono-Mobile Robot Design

Abstract

Summary: The paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the Ultimaker S5 3D printer and its application in industrial environments. A systematic approach was employed to identify the most important features and parameters influencing the performance and efficiency of the printer. This involved analyzing its material compatibility to understand how these factors contribute to high quality prints. Critical parameters such as print speed, layer height, infill density, and material usage were studied to determine their impact on cost and durability. Various infill patterns and materials, including ABS, PLA, and PET-G were examined to optimize the printing process for both prototyping and functional part production. A multidisciplinary approach integrating mechanical properties, material science and production efficiency was used to assess the strengths and weaknesses of different parameters. The main considerations include material selection, print duration and cost, with particular focus on balancing strength and speed. The study proposes an optimized framework for utilizing the Ultimaker S5 in industrial applications, offering insights into how its advanced features can be leveraged to produce functional, durable, and cost-effective parts across sectors like academic, healthcare, aerospace, and automotive industries.
