As a part of this work, an analysis of the current state of knowledge regarding the use of additive technology - binder jetting in the production of castings was made. The binder jetting (so-called 3D printing) has become the leading method of sand mold and core production. Within this paper types of molding and core sands with organic and inorganic binders that are and can be used in technology were analyzed. The need to carry out works aimed at developing pro-ecological molding / core sands with inorganic binders and organic binders with reduced harmfulness to the environment dedicated to binder jetting technology was noticed. The influence of technology parameters on the properties of molding / core sands and the properties of cast components was analyzed. It was shown that thanks to the unlimited shapes of the systems obtained with the use of additive technologies, it is possible to influence the rate of heat dissipation through the mold, which positively effects the process of solidification and crystallization of the castings.

3D printing technologies are gaining popularity year by year. They allow for a significant improvement in the production of prototypes and utility models. In addition, 3D printing facilitates the production of thin-walled elements and complex shapes, which is difficult when using traditional manufacturing methods. It should be noted that the technological parameters of 3D printing, such as the printing orientation and the thickness of a single layer, are very important because they affect the printing time, material expenditure and the dimensional accuracy of the printed details. There are many types of 3D printers, the operating principle of which and the building material used are different. However, one of the most popular and available types of additive manufacturing is Fused Deposition Technology. Therefore, detailed studies of this technology are particularly desirable by economic entities. The article presents research aimed at assessing the influence of the print direction and the thickness of a single layer of a building material on the flatness deviation and the 3D surface roughness parameters. Special thin-walled models were designed and printed from PLA material using a printer named MakerBot Replicator+. The research results presented in the article showed that the direction of printing and the thickness of a single layer of building material in the Fused Deposition Modeling Technology affect the roughness parameters, flatness and printing time of the produced models.
The presented paper describes the conceptual design of a worktable intended mainly for use in combination with FFF additive technologies, calibrated using a gyroscope and accelerometer.

Subsequently, the contribution is devoted to the selection of suitable components, the schematic connection, and the design itself in the Autodesk Inventor program. In the conclusion, the anticipated benefits of using the technical solution when applied in FFF additive technologies are described.
Durability of polymer (PCTG, ABS, PLA) chain gears with a modular chain obtained by 3D printing (FFF - Fused Filament Fabrication) was tested under static and dynamic conditions. An analysis was performed using finite element modeling (FEM). The PLA gear showed the highest tensile strength, and the PCTG gear the lowest. However, in dynamic conditions (rotational speed 750 min-1), the ABS gear was characterized by the smallest deformation and the longest operating time. Chain links were damaged at the point of connection during both static and dynamic tensile tests. Probably the surface of the hole where the chain links were joined was not smooth enough, which could lead to their damage.

W warunkach statycznych i dynamicznych zbadano wytrzymałość na rozciąganie polimerowych (PCTG, ABS, PLA) przekładni łańcuchowych z łańcuchem o budowie modułowej otrzymanych metodą druku 3D. Przeprowadzono analizę metodą modelowania elementów skończonych (MES). Największą wytrzymałość wykazywała przekładnia wykonana z PLA, a najmniejszą z PCTG. Natomiast w warunkach dynamicznych (prędkość obrotowa 750 min-1) przekładnia z ABS charakteryzowała się najmniejszym odkształceniem i najdłuższym czasem pracy. Ogniwa łańcucha zarówno podczas statycznych, jak i dynamicznych testów rozciągania ulegały uszkodzeniu w miejscu ich łączenia. Prawdopodobnie powierzchnia otworu w miejscu łączenia ogniw łańcucha nie była wystarczająco gładka, co mogło prowadzić do ich uszkodzenia.

Events related to climate change and the increase in the occurrence of natural disasters, as well as the increasing incidence of new diseases, have all caused the prominence of regional security and crisis management around the world to rise. Three-dimensional printing, which has seen noteworthy developed in recent years, both in terms of print parameters, and the magnitude of the production potential, may prove helpful in this matter. Enormous opportunities have arisen which, if properly directed, can save human life and preserve health in crisis situations, when traditional supply chains could be disrupted or even prevented. The use of additive technologies, however, has its limitations and in order to be able to take full advantage of the opportunities they offer, a legitimate functional system should be created and embedded within proper structures to support crisis management. This paper presents the advantages and disadvantages of using 3D printers and the possibility of their implementation as part of the current crisis-response systems. The article proposes a model for incorporating additive technologies into the crisismanagement system.

Purpose: Identification of structural-geometrical parameters, technological properties and elemental composition of spherical powders in a wide fraction range with respect to the VT20 alloy has been carried out. This is important for evaluating the optimum filling of a given volume by mixture of powders of different fractions during 3D printing. Design/methodology/approach: During the investigation of spherical Ti-alloy powders, a comprehensive approach was performed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). The surface morphology of the powders was studied on a Tuescan Vega 3 Scanning Electron Microscope. Using the Quantax energy dispersive spectrometer, element distribution maps were obtained and histograms of element distribution in the investigated powders were constructed. ICP-MS analysis was performed to clarify the elemental composition. DLS analysis using Malvern's Zetasizer Nano-ZS equipment allowed us to determine the functional parameters (hydrodynamic radius – Rh, zeta potential – z and specific conductivity) of particles of titanium alloy powder that indirectly indicate a tendency to form conglomerates. Findings: According to the microscopic examinations, the VT20 alloy powder consists of globular-shaped particles with the lamellar traces on their surfaces. The uniformity of the chemical element distribution within each fraction of the investigated powders was confirmed by EDS, and the full conformity of the powder fractions with the elemental composition of the VT20 alloy was confirmed by ICP-MS. The DLS method allowed to establish that the formation of conglomerates would not occur within the studied fractions of the VT20 alloy powder. Research limitations/implications: The use of high sensitive investigation methods gives understanding of the mechanisms of fine structure formation and possibility to control the processes of powder coagulation in the stage of electrostatic interactions. Practical implications: The obtained results can be used for the formation of fine spherical particles of the powder, but at the same time, these technologies can be extended for the particles of non-spherical shape. Originality/value: The DLS method allowed to establish that the formation of conglomerates would not occur within the studied fractions of the VT20 alloy powder. This, in turn, will improve powder melting during 3D printing. The measured zeta potential values allowed us to reveal mechanisms of fine structure formation and to control the processes of powder coagulation in the stage of electrostatic interactions.

Purpose: Purpose of this paper is to investigate the accuracy of dental bridges produced via digital light projection stereolithography process. Design/methodology/approach: 3D printer Rapidshape D30 was used for manufacturing of two groups of samples – temporary four-part bridges and cast patterns for permanent bridges. The temporary bridges were made of NextDent C+B polymer, while the cast patterns - of NextDent Cast. The samples were manufactured with different layer’s thickness (0.035 mm and 0.050 mm). The geometrical and adjusting accuracy were investigated by measuring of the samples’ dimensions and silicone probe, while the surface roughness was studied out by profile meter and optical microscopy. Findings: It was established that the dimensions of the temporary bridges and the cast patterns, printed with layer thickness 50 µm, are larger than that of the virtual 3D model with 0.1-0.3 mm. Decreasing the layer thickness to 35 µm leads to 0.29%-1.10% smaller sizes of dental bridges and cast patterns in comparison to that of the virtual 3D model. The average roughness deviation Ra of the 3D printed temporary bridges and cast patterns is larger than that of the initial model. As the surface roughness depends on the layer’s thickness, the samples with 0.035 mm layer characterize with lower Ra values. The silicone probe shows that the temporary bridges as well as the cast patterns need additional adjusting in the dental office or corrections during design of the virtual 3D model and 3D printing process in the dental laboratory. Practical implications: The stereolithography as part of CAD/CAM manufacturing process characterizes with high accuracy as a whole. But present study reveals that additional adjusting or preliminary corrections of the design of 3D printing process are needed for dental constructions produced by SLA. Originality/value: The geometrical and fitting accuracy as well as the surface roughness of dental bridges, produced by stereolithography were evaluated. The data, shown in the present study, will help dentists and dental technicians to precise the manufacturing regimes for production of dental constructions with high accuracy.
