Geometrical Accuracy of Flexspline Prototypes Made by FDM/MEM Methods

download PDFAbstract. This article presents an analysis of the geometrical accuracy of flexspline prototypes that were a component of harmonic drive. To produce the test models, a MEM (Melting and Extrusion Modeling) method was used. This additive method allows the production of elements with very complicated shapes from various polymeric materials. As the test model, a flexspline made of ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) was assumed. Such a special gear with a complicated construction was chosen, because its unique design allows one to obtain clear conclusions from the analysis. To expand the scope of research, models of flexspline with four different construction solutions were made and tested. As a step of the analysis, contact measurements were performed for several flexspline models on the coordinate measuring machine to check their dimensions. The verification of the geometrical accuracy of flexspline models will allow to assess the usefulness of additive methods for the production of prototypes and finished products.
