摘要

This paper presents a comprehensive exploration aimed at optimizing the dimensional precision of 3D-printed ABS composites by incorporating Ultrasonic-Assisted Chemical Vapor Finishing (UACVF). The fusion of chemical vapor smoothing with ultrasonic energy holds substantial promise for augmenting dimensional attributes while preserving the distinctive characteristics of ABS composites. The experimental configuration encompasses an ultrasonic-assisted Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) vapor smoothing station, complete with a precisely controlled ultrasonic transducer and heating element. Employing advanced additive manufacturing techniques, an assortment of ABS composites with varying copper content (10% by weight) is 3D printed. Subsequently, these ABS composites undergo UACVF treatment at varying temperatures, airflow rates, and exposure durations. Through rigorous analysis employing Taguchi, ANOVA, and Regression techniques, it has been established that temperature and time exert pivotal influences on length variations, with temperature accounting for 48.18% and time contributing 28.29% to the overall outcome. Regarding width variations, RPM emerges as the predominant influencing factor, contributing a substantial 76.85%, followed by time at 12.74%. Similar outcomes are discerned for thickness variations, with RPM playing the primary role at 59.70%, trailed by time at 18.52%.
