Abstract

Fused Deposition Modeling is an Additive Manufacturing that allows a designer or engineer discloses a desired shape by simply drawing a design on the computer. It is also the most economical Additive Manufacturing. Despite these advantages, it has the biggest weakness that cannot produce a good surface finish. Researchers had previously released some ideas to solve this problem. Among the ideas that they put forward is to transmit high vibration from the ultrasonic transducer to the Fused Deposition Modelling machine, especially on the nozzle. However ideas have yet proven. This project aims to examine whether the nozzle Fused Deposition Modeling is able to withstand high vibration should be transmitted. This project was carried out using Solidworks and ANSYS software. Solidworks is used to draw 3 -dimensional model and ANSYS is used to perform static analysis and vibration. Frequencies applied are 20 kHz to 30 kHz and 30 kHz to 40 kHz. From the results of the analysis the lowest Factor of Safety obtained is 18.8975. Thus it can be concluded that the nozzle of Fused Deposition Modeling has no problem to withstand vibration transmitted from the ultrasonic transducer.
