Abstract

The field of production engineering is constantly expanding, as novel manufacturing procedures are being introduced and spread in the industrial environment. The creation of complex parts by the application of some kind of printing process is a relatively new method compared to the other traditional chip-removal processes. It can be applied in various fields, where the greatest advantage can be utilized, which is the lower restrictions on the geometry of finished parts. In this paper, the surfaces on 3D printed parts are being studied. The effect of the printing speed, layer height and nozzle temperature are analysed on the surface roughness of the experimental workpieces. The experimental setup plan is designed according to the full factorial design method. The results of this preliminary study are the general determination of the affecting factors on the surface roughness.
