Özet
The method known as additive manufacturing causes high surface roughness between layers depending on the technique used at the end of the product development process. This can be an important problem in three-dimensional (3D) manufacturing depending on the usage area. To solve this problem, in this experimental study, the effect of vibratory tumbling (VT) on surface roughness in 3D printing was investigated using garnet abrasive particles. Optimization with the best parameters was also performed and the results were analyzed. This experimental study investigated the effect of vibratory tumbling on surface roughness in 3D printing produced from Polylactic acid (PLA) material using garnet abrasive particles. The surface roughness (Ra) values were measured at different vibration durations for each mesh size. The results provide insights into the impact of vibratory tumbling on surface roughness in 3D-printed parts. The study involved subjecting the printed parts to vibratory tumbling using garnet abrasive particles of various mesh sizes (80, 90, 100, 120, 150, 180, and 220 mesh). Surface roughness measurements were taken at different vibration durations (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours) for each mesh size. A surface roughness measuring device was used to obtain the roughness values. The findings reveal that vibratory tumbling with garnet abrasive particles effectively reduces surface roughness in 3D printed parts. As the vibration duration increased, smoother surfaces were achieved. The data collected for each mesh size and vibration duration offer valuable insights into the relationship between vibratory tumbling and surface …
