The experimental model creation of a mobile ropeway by 3D-printing

Abstract

The results of creating an experimental model of a mobile ropeway consisting of two base stations is under consideration in this article. The model was made by 3D printing technology in the laboratory of additive technologies of the Research and innovation center of digital technologies Industry 4.0 of Bryansk state University named after academician I. G. Petrovsky. The article provides a detailed overview of the stages of the model manufacturing, analyzed the typical problems and solutions. Models of base stations on wheeled chassis are made of ABS plastic with subsequent processing and painting of surfaces with acrylic paint. An electric motor connected to the control system based on the Arduino Nano microcontroller is used to drive the ropeway. The dynamic processes in the cable system are investigated by video fixation.
