Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a widespread additive manufacturing technology, which allows to obtain models of complex geometry without any tooling, directly from the digital CAD representation. It has been found out during numerous studies, that strength of products obtained using this technology is lower than strength of products manufactured of the same material, but with conventional technologies such as injection molding. Furthermore, the strength is greatly affected by orientation of part in the working chamber during manufacturing. The paper describes experimental research aimed at examining the influence of the orientation on impact strength of ABS parts produced with this technology. Test samples of various orientations were prepared and subjected to Charpy impact test. Also, a number of reference samples were prepared with injection molding of the same ABS material. Analysis of research results confirmed the assumptions made and allowed to make some important observations regarding strength of models produced with FDM technology.

W artykule opisano badania eksperymentalne mające na celu zbadanie wpływu orientacji na udarność wyrobów z ABS wytwarzanych techniką Fused Deposition Modeling. Próbki wytworzone przy różnych orientacjach poddano testowi udarności młotem Charpy'ego. Oprócz tego wytworzono metodą wtrysku próbki referencyjne z tego samego materiału ABS. Analiza wyników badań potwierdziła wstępne tezy oraz ważne obserwacje dotyczące wytrzymałości wyrobów kształtowanych techniką FDM.

Purpose: In this work, it is pretended to make a comparison of different pearlite contents in pieces with similar shape and dimensions and to analyze the variation of mechanical properties as pearlite content increases. The three pieces used had form of stair made of ductile cast iron. Design/methodology/approach: The present study was based on an adequate balance of alloying elements. None heat treatment was used to obtain different pearlite contents in the microstructures. Many specimens taken from the cast were mechanized to be polished and swabbed with nital to analyze the microstructure. To study the mechanical properties these casts present many tests were done such as Charpy impact test, done at different temperatures. Fracture toughness and tensile strength tests were done, as well. Findings: This study gave evidences that heat treatments are not necessary to obtain different pearlite content in the microstructure. Good mechanical properties are obtained by an appropriate balance of alloying elements. Research limitations/implications: They are that of natural sources. Besides, high and precision technology must be applied to get the present results better. Practical implications: Cast iron productions are focussed straight on machine building and automotive industries and constructions. The low cost production of ductile cast iron, its mechanical properties and low cost transformations are the tempting for application. Originality/value: The whole experimental work and the appropriate results obtained as consequences of the analysis carried out are novel, although applied methods are well known. Values presented in tables are given as new results of our experiments. This work is of great importance for the development of new economical methods for ductile iron production. This study is directed to researchers and metallurgy centres.
