Open-source 3D printer has been widely used for fabricating three dimensional products. However, this technology has some drawbacks that need to be improved such as accuracy of the finished parts. One of the factors affecting the final product is the ability of the machine to extrude the material consistently, which is related to the flow behavior of the material inside the liquefier. This paper observes the pressure drop along the liquefier by manipulating the nozzle die angle from 80° to 170° using finite element analysis (FEA) for polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) material. When the pressure drop along the liquefier is varied, the printed product also varies, thus providing less accuracy in the finished parts. Based on the FEA, it was found that 130° was the optimum die angle (convergent angle) for extruding PMMA material using open-source 3D printing.

AbstractAs a new type of motor, the traveling wave type rotary ultrasonic motors (TRUM) have a wide range of applications. However, the friction between stator and rotor leads to its poor start reliability, which retards the progress of application of ultrasonic motors. Sometimes TRUMs which are widely used cannot start after storage. Height of tooth of the ultrasonic motor’s stator is one of the factors affecting TRUM’s start stabilizing. In this paper, combined with the ultrasonic motor running mechanism, the factors that affect TRUM’s start reliability are studied. Model of ultrasonic motor stator tooth height is analyzed by finite element analysis (FEA). Five TRUMs with different tooth heights are fabricated and measured. A TRUM with 1.85 mm tooth height can start properly in humidity 90%, but ultrasonic motors with 1.8–1.9 mm tooth height cannot start properly under the same conditions.

The failure of the underframe is one of the most important factors affecting the service life of the multi-function chassis. This paper established a virtual model of multi-function chassis by UGNX 3D software; The use of the finite element analyzed model, find the weak link of underframe, and effectively reduce the underframe weight, determine the optimal scheme. Based on the underframe structure design to create the underframe prototype, and passed the test to prove the prototype running smoothly, safe and reliable.

Objectives: The success of implant treatment depends on many factors affecting the bone-implant, implant-abutment, and abutment-prosthesis interfaces. Stress distribution in bone plays a major role in success/failure of dental implants. This study aimed to assess the pattern of stress distribution in bone and abutment-implant interface under static and cyclic loadings using finite element analysis (FEA). Materials and Methods: In this study, ITI implants (4.1×12 mm) placed at the second premolar site with Synocta abutments and metal-ceramic crowns were simulated using SolidWorks 2007 and ABAQUS software. The bone-implant contact was assumed to be 100%. The abutments were tightened with 35 Ncm preload torque according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Static and cyclic loads were applied in axial (116 Ncm), lingual (18 Ncm), and mesiodistal (24 Ncm) directions. The maximum von Mises stress and strain values ​​were recorded. Results: The maximum stress concentration was at the abutment neck during both static and cyclic loadings. Also, maximum stress concentration was observed in the cortical bone. The loading stress was higher in cyclic than static loading. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that the level of stress in single-unit implant restorations is within the tolerable range by bone.
