3D-printed ABS M30 prototype gears with improved durability

Abstract

This article presents the results of research focused on increasing the durability of gears manufactured using FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) technology from ABS material. The gears underwent a thermal surface treatment involving the application of a hot air stream. During this thermal treatment, the gears rotated around their axis of rotation. This rotation prevented gravity-induced deformations that could otherwise occur during such processing. Comparative durability tests of the gears showed greater longevity for the thermally treated gears compared to those that were not modified.
