Dimensional accuracy achievable by three-dimensional printing
Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia, Australia
ABSTRACT: The ability to model components before manufacturing them aids the robustness of the design and reduces design changes. The modern three-dimensional (3D) printing process allows designers to visualize as well as to hold parts. However, to take the leap to use 3D printing as a direct manufacturing process, accuracy must be constantly maintained. In this article, we provide experimental results of a preliminary study of the dimensional accuracy of parts produced with 3D printing. A general purpose coordinate measuring machine was used to determine the accuracy of each part. Typically, ...
