Özet

Rapid manufacturing is gaining popularity because it produces in a layer-by-layer method from a digital file at a cheap cost and without the need for specific equipment. Geometrical complexity limits traditional production, and reducing cycle time is an increasingly valued element these days. Fused deposition modelling (FDM) printed components have several uses. Venturi effect is employed in a variety of applications in this study. Before the venturi duct can be employed in diverse sectors, its mechanical qualities must be characterised. In addition, the finite element approach is utilised to model the venturi duct in order to assess the mechanical performance of the printed item, including static structure, pressure, and velocity rendering for the flow. According to the fluid flow investigation, the component could sustain a velocity of up to 300 m/s at a pressure of 0.3 MPa. The structure of the component exhibits reduced deformation of 0.12 mm for a force of 500 N and a pressure of 0.3 MPa, equivalent stress and strain of the component is analysed, and it shows good resistance to the applied values for a force of 500 N and a pressure of 0.3 MPa.
