What does this research mean for the field?

In post-process machining of additively manufactured ABS components, a machining allowance of at least 0.565 mm per side and a vertical build orientation are required to optimally remove printing-induced surface texture, though elastic recovery consistently causes negative dimensional deviations. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

What question did this study set out to answer?

The study aims to assess how initial hole size, build orientation, and cutting parameters affect the quality of machined holes in ABS components.

Overview

Randomized trial investigates hole quality in ABS components based on machining and build parameters, suggesting improved guidelines.

Key Points

The study aims to assess how initial hole size, build orientation, and cutting parameters affect the quality of machined holes in ABS components.
Samples were fabricated in vertical and horizontal orientations using Material Extrusion (MEX).
Machining parameters included drilling pilot holes and measuring dimensional deviation and surface roughness.
Statistical analysis and optical observations were utilized to evaluate the effects of machining allowance on surface quality.
A machining allowance of 0.062 mm per side led to higher surface roughness values (Ra and Rz) compared to 0.565 mm allowance (Ra ≈ 1.6 µm).
Vertical build orientation improved surface quality over horizontal orientation with fewer visible defects.
Dimensional deviations were negative across all conditions due to elastic recovery of ABS material after machining.
