| description | Additive manufacturing still suffers from redundant support material usage when printing parts with overhanging features. All the supports will be removed after fabrication, resulting in wasted materials. There are many works conducted for reducing support waste by improving support strategies. However, using different support strategies may lead to different printed qualities. In this paper, the effect of support strategy on printed qualities is investigated in fused deposition modelling processes. Three different support strategies are adopted for manufacturing the same 3D part. The finished surface roughness and flexural properties are compared for evaluating different support strategies, as well as the material waste and printing time. The results show that different support strategies may result in different printed surface roughness and flexural properties. To achieve the balance between support consumption and properties of printed parts, it becomes necessary to understand the effect of supports on printed qualities for choosing a best support strategy. |
