Abstract
Dimensional accuracy and surface quality of components fabricated by additive manufacturing techniques are one of the main concerns of designers and users of these technologies. This article aims to analyse the incidence of manufacturing parameters on macro-geometric dimensional aspects of parts obtained by Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM). To this aim, a quality control methodology has been conducted by means of Reverse Engineering (RE) techniques.Different parts have been designed using CAD (Computer Aided Design) and manufactured considering different parameters with a FDM printer. With the aid of a 3D scanner equipment (Steinbichler COMET L3D) and with the corresponding data acquisition and processing software (COMET plus), the model surfaces were approximated to be processed digitally at a later stage. The scanned models were analyzed by means of a measurement, inspection and quality control software (INSPECT plus), visualizing and comparing the models manufactured against digital 3D CAD models.
