Additive Manufacturing Through 3D Printing of the Landmark Nut M60x2, Using ABS+ Filament

Résumé

This paper deals with the additive manufacturing by 3D printing of the Dutch Nut-M60x2 landmark which is part of the subassembly Gas Reducer R2-Hose DN 2 in. This subassembly is a component part of the washing head of the light water well drilling installations FA 100, FA 125, FH 150 and FG 40. The generic name of the washing head will be FA 100.We use 3D printing technology because, on the one hand, it is technically possible to make the part and on the other hand, for economic reasons. It is approximately ten times cheaper to make the part through 3D printing than through conventional technologies.
