POTENCIALIDADES DA MANUFATURA ADITIVA PARA CONSTRUÇÃO CIVIL

Abstract

The general objective of this master's research is based on the understanding, analysis and application of the additive manufacture for the construction industry, focused on the use of ABS and PLA polymers, for the creation of objects or modules which their mechanical behavior can be studied and tested in order to optimize structural. In this sense, the analyses initially listed are directed to data collection through a bibliographical research where the literature review allows an insight into what is being researched and developed regarding structural analysis of objects produced by using 3D printer. Destructive testing of specimens made with the ABS and PLA polymers promotes the body of the research and the measurement of the mechanical behavior of the materials causes this analysis to have a basis for the subsequent development of a modeling of printed components with complex geometries. This paper results from the initial phase of the research and envisages the structural optimization of parts, as well as the greater precision of its mechanical post-production behavior.
