Máquina de cura para impressoras SLA com o uso de manufatura aditiva

Abstract

Additive Manufacturing entered the market both in the industrial and residential areas very quickly due to its various applications, many of the works that involve this technology, use it as a means to produce parts for a larger project, or in another area, but when we are talking about additive manufacturing using SLA technology, the cost is already a little higher due to the price of the printers themselves, and for the post printing work, there is a process called "Cura" which consists of exposing the object that was printed to a source of ultraviolet light that, when it comes into contact with the surface of the piece, changes its aesthetic and physical aspects, there are machines that carry out this type of process on the market, but they have a high acquisition cost. Faced with this situation, the objective of this work is to develop a prototype of a machine that performs this curing process effectively, and that is made of low-cost electronic equipment and all of its mechanical parts are made only with the use of additive manufacturing. so that its production cost is affordable. Since its great differential will be that all its activation will be done remotely through a Web application, which works on any mobile device regardless of its operating system, the prototype was subjected to several tests for its final validation, the purpose of this project is that it can be inserted in the maker space of the federal institute of amazonas (IFAM) due to its low cost and great effectiveness in the area of additive manufacturing, and that it can arouse the curiosity of the institution's students for the maker culture.
