Design Of A Set Of Geometries And Templates For The Analysis Of Surface In The Process Of Fused Filament Fabrication

The optimization strategies development by the industry of additive manufacturing have been diversified according to the pre-process, process, and post-process always based on the manufacturers' and customers' needs. The present research exposes an analysis of the characteristics and properties of geometries that must be considered during the design process of elements that will be manufactured using Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF). The methodology integrated three phases: a literature review as the first phase, development of geometries and integration of templates as a second phase, and the analysis of geometries and template number five in the FFF software pre-printing process as a third phase. As a result, a set of five modified geometries and five templates are presented. Each one proposes the characteristics that could be considered by designers, manufacturers, and users of FFF.
