This work presents the computational modeling of a three dimensional printer based on a flexible Cartesian mechanism using a multidisciplinary open source software. The dynamic simulation of the flexible mechanism was compared to that of a rigid one to highlight the differences between both approaches. The flexible components of the printer were modeled using beam elements. The simulation showed that the flexibility of the deposition mechanism contributes to its error positioning and vibration.

Abstract

This work presents the computational modeling of a three dimensional printer based on a flexible Cartesian mechanism using a multidisciplinary open source software. The dynamic simulation of the flexible mechanism was compared to that of a rigid one to highlight the differences between both approaches. The flexible components of the printer were modeled using beam elements. The simulation showed that the flexibility of the deposition mechanism contributes to its error positioning and vibration.
