Static Analysis of Compass Prototype (Part A) Build with FDM Process
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Rapid Prototyping
Abstract
Main objective of the research work is to develop a newly designed compass consisting of two parts i.e. Part A and Part B and find the optimum build orientation of the R.P. model of compass build with FDM process. General compass don?t have scale in it. For drawing the circle, scale is needed to measure the length of the radius or diameter. R.P. models of compass are produced with scale provided in it. To check the functionality of the model, prototype is developed. It is very necessary that prototype should be tough and strong enough to bear load acting on it while using and it should be durable. FEM analysis is conducted to find the strength of the model material. Stress analysis was done using ANSYS software for ABS P400 and Polycarbonate ? ISO (Plastic material) to choose the best model material for the R.P. model. In this article static analysis is shown only for Part A.
