Comparative analysis of displacement of 3D printed compliant mechanism

V magistrskem delu smo obravnavali tezo o uporabnosti 3D tiskanih fleksibilnih mehanizmov pri aplikacijah z visoko natančnostjo. Fleksibilni mehanizmi, izdelani iz plastičnih kompozitov, predstavljajo ogromen potencial. Največja prednost je dejstvo, da nam 3D nam omogoča izdelavo kompleksnih elementov, ki imajo visoko natančnost, so lahki in cenovno ugodni. V magistrskem delu smo izvedli primerjalno analizo dejanskih in simulacijskih odzivov modela ob aktivaciji sistema. V eksperimentalnem delu magistrske naloge smo preverili tudi vplivnost parametrov, ki bi lahko povzročili netočen odziv fleksibilnega mehanizma. V magistrski nalogi smo dokazali, da sta ne centričnost obremenitve in debelina tiskanja najvplivnejša parametra. S pomočjo primerjalne analize smo dokazali, da fleksibilen mehanizem iz plastike PLA lahko uporabimo v aplikacijah z mikrometrsko natančnostjo ob predpostavki, da smo fleksibilen mehanizem izdelali po optimalnih parametrih in slednji nebo obratoval pri nenaravnih pogojih.In the master\u27s thesis, we discussed the thesis on the usefulness of 3D printed flexible mechanisms in applications with high precision. Flexible mechanisms made of plastic composites represent enormous potential. The biggest advantage is the fact that 3D allows us to manufacture complex elements that have high precision, are light and affordable. In the master\u27s thesis, we performed a comparative analysis of the actual and simulation responses of the model upon system activation. In the experimental part of the master\u27s thesis, we also checked the influence of parameters that could cause an inaccurate response of the flexible mechanism. In the master\u27s thesis, we proved that load eccentricity and print thickness are the most influential parameters. With the help of a comparative analysis, we proved that a flexible mechanism made of PLA plastic can be used in applications with micrometer precision, assuming that the flexible mechanism was manufactured according to optimal parameters and that the latter was not operated under unnatural conditions
