Estudo de alternativas para a redução da cadeia de suprimentos do processo de impressão 3D

Abstract

Despite being widely used industrially, additive manufacturing processes, also known as 3D printing, possibly several strands in its development. Some of them, dedicated to the production of low-cost equipment aimed at the common users, not connected to the industrial mass. Small or micro-businesses that are or even ordinary people who have an interest in processes as a hobby or the need to create objects for their personal use, for example. This project has as a goal the methodological development of a product that makes it possible to reduce the supply chain of the process, emphasizing the use of the material in pellet form and the extrusion process, giving the user the freedom to customize the materials and, mainly, the reduction in operating costs.
