碩士 === 中州科技大學 === 機械與自動化工程系 === 105 === The domestic industry gradually get rid of the traditional OEM role , especially in hardware products, bicycle design, daily necessities and other products with their own R&D capabilities, and is an important domestic industry, so as to compete with other countries. The Rapid Prototyping (RP) technology is booming and can be used in product development and simple functional testing to accelerate product development. This study develops new models and performs functional tests to enhance the molding effect and improve print fineness, providing users with a better choice. This study explores the self-assembly of 3D printers and uses Taguchi's method to explore the effects of Simplify3D's parameter settings(ex. contour direction, Z-axis lift, reclaiming speed, inertia coasting distance, wiping distance, nozzle temperature, retraction Wiping movement). Using Solid Works to draw 3D test pieces (including round, square, thick pieces, thin pieces, etc.), transfer into G-code and then storage to SD memory card, insert the 3D printer SD plug Slot, and read its G-code to perform a print test. In this study, Taguchi method was carried out according to the degree of warping, the amount of pulled silk, appearance. Then the self-designed 3D printer is compared with the commercially available 3D printer about the manufacturing capability, dimensional accuracy and the design difference, so that it can be a reference for printing and assembling of 3D printer in the future.
