description |
Additive manufacturing technology has been rapidly developed and increasingly
popular nowadays; its applications spread to almost every corner in our lives. However, when
printing products with overhangs, support structures are often needed, resulting in extended build
time, post-processing and material waste. Numerous papers have been published on reducing
support structure consumption, thus minimizing the cost and manufacture time. However, there are
still no benchmarking examples and criteria in the literature for support structure comparison,
resulting in hard to distinguish which method is better than another, especially in the situation that
they use different standards and geometries for their research. In this paper, a specific part is
proposed as a standard geometry, all research with regard to support structure can compare the
results based on this benchmarking part. Line and concentric support methods from Cura 2.6.2
based on an Original Prusa i3 MK2 printer are tested and demonstrated in this paper by using this
benchmarking part. |
