Surface roughness (Protype)
• Objective: To investigate the relationship surface roughness and draft angle of a 3D printed mold.
• Approach: printing test samples, carrying out roughness measurements, testing mold
• Outcome: 3D printing at an angle of 1˚ to 6˚ has no negative influence
the roughness, and the relationship between roughness and draft angle has been established for PA, PC and ABS.
• Profit for the company: insight into surface roughness and release of plastic products from the mold
