[Advanced Structured Materials] Materials Design and Applications II Volume 98 || Orientation of the Digital Model for SLA 3D Printing and Its Influence on the Accuracy of the Manufactured Physical Objects for Micro- and Nano Technologies

摘要： In modern mechanical engineering, there is increased need to find solutions for fast manufacturing of real prototypes. One of these is the fast-growing up-to-date CAD/CAM/CAE system enabling to create digital prototypes. Using CAD systems the conceptual design is analyzed and tested before producing the real prototype. This reduces the compliance costs for manufacturing of the physical models and tooling as well as the production time of the prototype is lessened several times. With the development of technology, and especially in medicine, it is necessary to produce prototypes that can be obtained relatively quickly and meet the requirements of accuracy. Rapid prototyping technologies have such capabilities that they can reproduce digital models with their manufacturer’s precision. To determine the accuracy of printing, a SLA system is used. To determine the accuracy of printing, a SLA system is used. One of the peculiarities of making a detail by this method is the appearance of distortions in the initial stage of construction at large rectilinear plots. In order to determine the minimum printing deviations, a strategy for printing prototype models at a different slope of 0°–90° was used. Patterns are made with coordinate networks, enabling post-print deviations to be evaluated by matching the digital model. The present study will be useful in developing prototype models for micro and nanotechnology in mechanical engineering and medicine, providing a solution for their optimal location with minimal deviations.
