- Abstract
A general schematic defined in the first part, enables description of all currently available AM machines. The schematic is used to define two influence factors describing certain part properties regarding the machines' yield during manufacturing. A test part, that will enable testing the influence of these factors on speed of fabrication, is defined. Research has proven that the machines' yield has a predominant influence on achievable manufacturing speed of all tested machines. Also, the results have shown different ranges of achievable manufacturing speeds of individual tested machines.. The presented evaluation method can be used on any existing or future type of AM machines and their comparative placement regarding achievable fabrication speed. Moreover, it can be used to evaluate a machine regardless on which AM technology it is based.
