Research of the accuracy of 3D printed plastic gears

Absztrakt

The best-known additive manufacturing process is 3D printing, which is increasingly used to manufacture various machine components. In this article, we investigate the accuracy of plastic gears made by 3D printing. The aim of the research was to study gears manufactured using 3D printing technology with m >0.6 mm module, to determine how the resulting gears differ from the initial geometry and how the manufacturing method affects the parameters of the gears.
