DETERMINATION OF INFLUENCE OF PART ORIENTATION ON PRODUCTION TIME IN 3D PRINTING

Rapid Prototyping and Rapid Manufacturing have significant role in modern production of parts. One of the crucial aspects in all manufacturing is production time (besides the consumption of material and all other elements). In 3D printing several parameters have influence on production like quality of finished surface, mechanical properties of the part, part accuracy, consumption of material for building part and support and building time. In this paper the influence of part orientation on production time will be discussed.
