Abstract

Additive Layer Manufacturing (ALM) is one of the fabricating methods because it permits outrageous customization, quick prototyping of wanted designs and low volume creation of items. FDM printer goes under the material expulsion class. The filament is constrained into the hot extruder. The filament is warmed first and afterward stored, through the spout, onto a form stage layer-by-layer to frame the total 3D structure. A printer equipped for printing a 1.5-meter cubic-sized object was designed in SOLIDWORKS CAD software and manufactured into a functioning model. The Frame, Linear guide rail, and Z-axis rails were subjected to static structural, modal and harmonic response analysis with ANSYS Workbench. The designed parts were investigated by modal analysis to get the natural frequency. The effect on the guide rails and frame due to external forces, stepper motor, and extruder were examined with harmonic response analysis. The frequency at which the amplitude rises drastically from a phase angle of 0 degrees to 180 degrees was obtained using harmonic response analysis as well. The model was further subjected to motion analysis using ADAMS dynamic software.
