| Summary: | This report presents the development of a mechatronic system that will carry out tensile tests on 3D printing plastics like PLA, PLA+, ABS, and PETG, according to the international ASTM D638 standard [1]. The project is intended for the Mechatronic Engineering Laboratory at Universidad Tecnológica de Bolívar, to fill the gap in availability of specialized equipment for characterization of the mechanical properties of these materials in an educational and research environment. The detailed design for ensuring stability and robustness includes a dual-column frame with various carefully chosen components that provide precision and durability. The system comes with wedge grips for tensile testing, a system of force actuation, transmission, sensors for correct measurement of force and deformation, and an intuitive software platform that controls and monitors the test. Features included ensure reliable test repeatability, operational safety, and compliance with the parameters and restrictions set 7 by the ASTM D638 standard for this type of test. It serves academic, research, and collaborative needs and significantly contributes to continuous improvement in the practical formation of students and encourages their involvement in innovative projects. Even though conceptual design and necessary calculations for the functioning of the machine were already realized, the implementation is pending because of the lack of key components that have to be installed, and testing of the final design. |
