3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY FOR METAL PRODUCTS: FROM AN AUTOMATIC DESIGN SYSTEM TO A REAL PART

The aim of the present study involves the adaptation of a robotic complex based on an industrial robot for 3D printing of metal products by arc welding, the development of a technological process system for printing a real part, as well as an evaluation of the potential for obtaining high-quality metal products using existing equipment. For 3D printing of metal products, a robotic complex based on a KR 210 R2700 PRIME industrial robot (KUKA, Germany) and an S3 mobil SpeedPulse welding machine (Lorch, Germany) were used. 3D object models for printing were created in Autodesk Fusion 360 software. The dedicated Ultimaker Cura 3D printing program was applied for slicing the models into layers. The simulation of the printing process and programming of an industrial robot was carried out using the RoboDK software (Canada). As a result, a technological process for 3D printing an impeller prototype from the design stage to the manufacture of a finished metal product has been developed. A de...
