Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) process has lower surface roughness quality, precision and it takes longer to fabricate compared to the conventional manufacturing operations and some additive manufacturing technologies. In order to overcome these issues, a rotary extruder head with a nozzle having a rectangular orifice has been utilized in this work. A new tool path planning for a rectangular nozzle is designed to increase the efficiency of the extrusion process by this nozzle. As a result, finer features (such as outer surfaces, edges, corners, etc.) can be 3D-printed with greater accuracy, and inner regions can be extruded in less time. The design algorithms for outer shells, inner regions, and infill paths are presented here to show the procedure of the tool path planning and examined for different test cases. Some modifications in the case of concave curves as the outer shells are also offered. Moreover, these test cases have been fabricated in our hybrid manufacturing system named HYBRO, which has five axes plus milling and rotary extruder heads to demonstrate this new strategy. The results demonstrate the smallest and the largest bead widths obtained with the same rectangular nozzle.

Development of a new hesitant fuzzy ranking model for NTMP ranking problem ATALAY, KUMRU DİDEM; İÇ, YUSUF TANSEL; KEÇECİ, BARIŞ; YURDAKUL, MUSTAFA; Boran, Melis (2021-10-01) Nontraditional manufacturing processes (NTMPs) bring the processing capabilities such as machining high strength and hard materials with desired accuracies and surface finish to the manufacturing companies. Therefore, there has been a significant increase in the use and number of NTMPs. Hence, choosing a particular NTMP for a specific application turns out to be a complex decision-making problem, which involves conflicting qualitative and quantitative ranking criteria. In recent NTMP ranking literature, it ...
Simulator of an additive and subtractive type of hybrid manufacturing system Dilberoğlu, Mecid Uğur; Yaman, Ulaş; Dölen, Melik (2019-06-24) Additive Manufacturing (AM) facilitates the production of intricate objects despite its weakness in attainable part quality and fabrication speed compared to the conventional manufacturing methods. To alleviate the problems arising as a natural outcome of AM methods, hybrid technologies become viable options by employing concurrent manufacturing procedures, e.g. synergetic additive and subtractive manufacturing (SM) actions. Hybrid workstations have recently opened up new dimensions to 3D-printing industry,...
Use of split-disk tests for the process parameters of filament wound epoxy composite tubes Kaynak, Cevdet; PARNAS, LEVENT; ŞENEL, FİKRET (2005-08-01) The aim of this study was to investigate processing parameters of continuous fiber reinforced epoxy composite tubes produced by the filament winding technique. For this purpose, split-disk tests (according to ASTM D-2290 standard) were performed for the specimens produced with two different epoxy resin systems, five different fiber materials and five different winding angles. By determining the hoop tensile strength and modulus of these specimens, the effects of three filament-winding processing parameters;...
Characterization of novel materials for fused filament fabrication AL-DUAIS, ABDULLAH ABDULRAHMAN NAJI; Özerinç, Sezer; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2021-6-24) Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is a polymer additive manufacturing technology that is suitable for a wide range of applications due to its low cost and ease of use. This thesis investigated two types of novel materials for FFF use. First, a foaming PLA filament is considered and the mechanical properties of 3D printed specimens using this filament is characterized. The results show that the strength, modulus and density of the foaming PLA can be tuned over a wide range of values by varying FFF process par...
