Modeling and building a 3D print head

Abstract

Abstract The paper presents 3D modeling and the construction of a printing head for plastic, a head that will be used on a CNC milling machine. The component parts were modeled with Solid Edge software, and for manufacturing the parts we use a CNC milling machine and one conventional lathe. Following the manufacture of the parts, they were mounted together. After that, the mechanical parts was connected together with the electrical components and the result is a functional head that uses fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology.
