Title: An analysis of textured features fabricated by FDM rapid prototyping process
Author(s): Phan, T. D.; Masood, S. H.
Abstract: This paper presents a study on what accuracy level could be achieved when fabricating textured surfaces by the Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) rapid prototyping systems. The study is based on the evaluation of a variety of textured surfaces fabricated in ABS material on a commercial FDM machine. The analysis of the results shows that the FDM parameters have a great influence on the surface roughness as well as geometric and dimensional accuracy. The results obtained can be used to make decision on what types of textured features, according to sizes and geometries, can be made with fused deposition modelling process.
