Tiivistelmä
The objective of the study was to design a hydraulic pump suitable for additive manufacturing and thereby prove both the process of 3D printing hydraulic equipment and the concept of usage of such hydraulic equipment. The design was supposed to meet an arbitrary set of requirements that was developed in cooperation with the instructor.
The study was conducted in Saimaa University of Applied Sciences and it also received material and equipment support from the laboratory and the workshop staff. Computer-aided modelling and FEA simulations were conducted with the use of SOLIDWORKS and related software products.
The results of the study were a configuration of a hydraulic system with associated machinery and components and a developed 3D model with a set of defined properties, dimensions, features that were calculated according to the requirements which were discussed in the initial phase of the work. The designed pump was prepared to be constructed and potentially used in a real practical application.
The results can be used to continue research of additively manufactured hydraulic machinery. It may be possible to rapidly construct temporary substitutions for malfunctioning or failed hydraulic components and reduce idle time.
