Abstract |
|
The paper represents design and 3D Print a mold by using Additive manufacturing process. The main objective of the paper is to 3D Print and calculates the strength of the mold (Infill 50% & 100%) and compares these molds with each other. The Reverse engineering is used to calculate the design parameters and 3D Modeling can be done using Solidworks 2018 software. ANSYS WORKBENCH 18.0 is used to calculate the strength of the mold. ABS Plus filament is considered for manufacturing of mold. After FEA analysis of both the Molds, the results show that the mold of infill 100% gives high strength when applying the vacuum pressure on the mold compared to the mold of infill 50%. From the analysis results, we can also conclude that the infill of 100% 3D Printed mold can manufacture 30 to 35 parts easily without any dimension failure. |
