This paper presents an original approach on developing and testing an extruder for paste-like materials for conventional 3D printers based on Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology. The main advantage of such technology is that it allows the final product to be modified / altered after fabrication i.e. either to correct printing irregularities or simply give it another design form. The material is fed into the extrusion nozzle via a plastic cylinder driven by an electric actuator. Various extruding nozzles wer...

This paper presents an approach of using Augmented Reality (RA) technology for operator training in quality inspection of various large sized metallic products such as pipes, weldings, metal sheets, etc. An Android software application has been developed and implemented using Unity 3D Software Development Package(TM). The proposed application simulates the use of various ultrasonic sensors/probes to train human operators without the need to use the actual expensive inspection equipment. The user manipulates a 3D p...

The paper presents experimental results obtained in determining the chemical composition of the base material- heat affected zone пїЅ filler material in reworking by ultrasonic welding field. The work shows the curve of the concentration of carbon, nickel, chromium, molybdenum, iron, tungsten, silicon and cobalt in the resulted material couple. There are presented differences between reworking in ultrasonic field and common welding process. The analysis of the results obtained and presented in the paper shows the ...

The paper presents an original experimental stand for measuring emissions and pollutant by-products in a casting shop of machine-building plant. The experimental results are achieved if the cast shapes forming in normal mixture and ground foundry.The work gives the calculation and determination of the coefficient of pollution and environmental indicators for the two molding processes. In order to determine the impact on the working environment and the effects of pollutants on the health of human operators, numerou...

The paper presents a new method for reconditioning of automotive parts in an ultrasonic field by reworking. Experimental results were obtained in the case of using different material couples. Using three couples of different materials, three technological metallization processes were studied: - oxy-fuel flame and wire; - three-wire electric arc - oxy-fuel flame and powder In experimental work the following material couples were studied: X30NiMoVCr11-STELLITE 12 AWS, X30NiMoCr11-TP 4000, FxMo1Si24-STELLITE 12AWS. D...

The paper presents a method for calculating and determining the environmental impact of the metallic material production in the specific shop of the machine building plant. Using mass balance equation, main pollutant emissions and by-products like CO, SO2, NOx, Heavy metal particles, slag, mud or volatile organic compounds were determined in the case of 1000 Kg steel, copper, aluminum and zinc production. Measurements were made with an original stand measuring emissions and by-products even in the work area operat...
