Additive manufacturing is a rapidly growing manufacturing process for which many new processes and materials are currently being developed. The biggest advantage is that almost any shape can be produced, while conventional manufacturing methods reach their limits. Furthermore, a lot of material is saved because the part is created in layers and only as much material is used as necessary. In contrast, in the case of machining processes, it is not uncommon for more than half of the material to be removed and disposed of. Recently, new additive manufacturing processes have been on the market that enables the manufacturing of components using the FDM process with fiber reinforcement. This opens up new possibilities for optimizing components in terms of their strength and at the same time increasing sustainability by reducing materials consumption and waste. Within the scope of this work, different types of test specimens are to be designed, manufactured and examined. The test specimens are tensile specimens, which are used both for standardized tensile tests and for examining a practical component from automotive engineering used in student project. This project is a vehicle designed to compete in the Shell Eco-marathon, one of the world’s largest energy efficiency competitions. The aim is to design a vehicle that covers a certain distance with as little fuel as possible. Accordingly, it is desirable to manufacture the components with the lowest possible weight, while still ensuring the required rigidity. To achieve this, the use of fiber-reinforced 3D-printed parts is particularly suitable due to the high rigidity. In particular, the joining technology for connecting conventionally and additively manufactured components is developed. As a result, the economic efficiency was assessed, and guidelines for the design of components and joining elements were created. In addition, it could be shown that the additive manufacturing of the component could be implemented faster and more sustainably than the previous conventional manufacturing.
The Human-Robot-Collaboration (HRC) has developed rapidly in recent years with the help of collaborative lightweight robots. An important prerequisite for HRC is a safe gripper system. This results in a new field of application in robotics, which spreads mainly in supporting activities in the assembly and in the care. Currently, there are a variety of grippers that show recognizable weaknesses in terms of flexibility, weight, safety and price.
By means of Additive manufacturing (AM) gripper systems can be developed which can be used multifunctionally, manufactured quickly and customized. In addition, the subsequent assembly effort can be reduced due to the integration of several components to a complex component. An important advantage of AM is the new freedom in designing products. Thus, components using lightweight design can be produced. Another advantage is the use of 3D multi-material printing, wherein a component with different material properties and also functions can be realized.
This contribution presents the possibilities of AM considering HRC requirements. First of all, the topic of Human-Robot-Interaction with regard to additive manufacturing will be explained on the basis of a literature review. In addition, the development steps of the HRI gripper through to assembly are explained. The acquired knowledge regarding the AM are especially emphasized here. Furthermore, an application example of the HRC gripper is considered in detail and the gripper and its components are evaluated and optimized with respect to their function. Finally, a technical and economic evaluation is carried out. As a result, it is possible to additively manufacture a multifunctional and customized human-robot collaboration gripping system. Both the costs and the weight were significantly reduced. Due to the low weight of the gripping system only a small amount of about 13% of the load of the robot used is utilized.
Fusion 360 – kurz und bündig
(2020)
Dieses Lehrbuch ermöglicht dem Anfänger in der 3D-Modellierung einen schnellen Einstieg in die Arbeit mit dem cloudbasierten CAD-System Autodesk® Fusion 360TM. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf den grundlegenden Funktionen zur Modellierung von Einzelteilen und dem Zusammenbau von Produkten, sowie in der Erstellung von einfachen technischen Zeichnungen. Dabei werden bei jedem Schritt die besonderen Anforderungen an eine 3D-Druck-gerechte Gestaltung erläutert und umgesetzt. Somit ist das Ergebnis dieser „Schritt für Schritt“-Anleitung die vollständige Modellierung eines Miniatur-Automobils, das am 3D-Drucker in ein reales Modell umgesetzt werden kann. Das didaktische Konzept ist so ausgelegt, dass alle Schritte für ein Selbststudium geeignet sind. Die vorliegende Auflage wurde komplett überarbeitet, sie basiert auf der neuen Benutzeroberfläche User Interface (UI) und enthält ein neues Kapitel zum CNC-Blechbiegen.
Additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing (3DP) has become a widespread new technology in recent years and is now used in many areas of industry. At the same time, there is an increasing need for training courses that impart the knowledge required for product development in 3D printing. In this article, a workshop on “Rapid Prototyping” is presented, which is intended to provide students with the technical and creative knowledge for product development in the field of AM. Today, additive manufacturing is an important part of teaching for the training of future engineers. In a detailed literature review, the advantages and disadvantages of previous approaches to training students are examined and analyzed. On this basis, a new approach is developed in which the students analyze and optimize a given product in terms of additivie manufacturing. The students use two different 3D printers to complete this task. In this way, the students acquire the skills to work independently with different processes and materials. With this new approach, the students learn to adapt the design to different manufacturing processes and to observe the restrictions of different materials. The results of these courses are evaluated through feedback in a presentation and a questionnaire.
Dieses Lehrbuch ermöglicht dem Anfänger in der 3D-Modellierung einen schnellen Einstieg in die Arbeit mit dem cloudbasierten praxisorientierten CAD-System Onshape. Dabei werden bei jedem Schritt die besonderen Anforderungen an eine 3D-Druck-gerechte Gestaltung erläutert und umgesetzt. Somit ist das Ergebnis dieser „Schritt für Schritt“-Anleitung die vollständige Modellierung eines Miniatur-Automobils, das am 3D-Drucker in ein reales Modell umgesetzt werden kann. Die aktuelle Auflage wurde zugunsten besserer Lesbarkeit in ein größeres Format gebracht, die Inhalte wurden neu gegliedert und aktualisiert und um das Kapitel „Blechbauteile für CNC-Biegen" erweitert.
This paper presents a new approach for the teaching of competence in additive manufacturing to engineering students in product development. Particularly new to this approach is the combination of the students' autonomous assembly and commissioning of a 3D-printer, and the independent development of guidelines for this new technology regarding the design of components. This way the students will be able to gain first practical experiences with the data preparation, the additive manufacturing process itself and also the required post-treatment of the 3D-printed parts. To allow the students a significantly deeper insight into the functioning of 3D-printing, the workshop Rapid Prototyping developed a new approach in the course of which the students first assemble a construction kit for a 3D-printer themselves and then commission the printer. This enables the students to gain a better understanding of the functionality and configuration of additive manufacturing. In a next step, the students used the 3D-printers they constructed themselves to produce components which they take from a database. Finally, the experiences of the students in the course of the workshop will be evaluated to review the effectiveness of the new approach.
