Análise do aproveitamento de polímeros recicláveis para obtenção de filamentos para impressora 3d

Abstract

The present work aims at the elaboration of an equipment capable for extruding filaments for the 3D printing process, reusing recycled polymers as new pieces 3D printed. The choice of this subject was motivated mainly by the continuous development of the 3D printing market worldwide, and it is increasingly common to find 3D printers working in homes and offices. With this, the concept of an equipment that uses bolt extrusion as a working principle, using low cost components and obtaining operational simplicity was developed. It has been shown through the simple payback that the use of this equipment for filament manufacture provides a savings of up to 95% over the use of commercially available ABS filaments, providing the return on investment after the production of only 7.3kg ABS filament.
