Abstract

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is a fast growing rapid prototyping technology. However, the built parts are hardly comparable to those produced by the traditional means in mechanical strength, which is one of the most obvious defects that hinder the development of rapid prototyping technology. For the first time, this paper utilized vibration into the FDM process to improve the mechanical property of FDM parts. Firstly, a vibrating FDM 3D printer was set up to introduce vibration into the FDM process; Secondly, the samples with and without applied vibration in Z and X direction were manufactured, and corresponding tensile tests were performed; Finally, the effect of applying vibration on the tensile strength and anisotropy of FDM plates was experimentally investigated through the comparison between samples with and without applied vibration. It is shown that the vibration can significantly improve the built parts’ tensile strength and their plasticity in Z direction, as well as the stability. In addition, the vibration could decrease the orthogonal anisotropy of the FDM samples greatly.
