Abstract

This article describes the most important stages of testing the levels of innovative readiness of a new machine and material construction solutions for closed loops of polymer powders in 3D additive manufacturing. The aim of this study was to indicate the state and directions of development of the technology of geometric recycling of polymer powders in 3D additive manufacturing, the need to control the geometric quality of the powders, and the quality of the design of machines for their processing in a closed circuit. The method was aimed at creating a strategy and verifying the stages of development of a new idea for stabilizing the geometric and dynamic design features of polymer powders for additive manufacturing (3D printing). Connections and relationships of the variable design features of powders, machines and devices with variable postulated states of products and processes allowed for the analysis, knowledge, description and development of variables for stabilizing geometric features of polymer powders in recycling. The results show the possibilities of supporting innovative creativity according to the adopted method, allow for determining the level of compliance of the quality of the products of the technical system, the effectiveness of preparatory processes for recycling and the non-toxicity of the products and processes of the new technology and their closed loop. The goal of developing useful design values, according to an integrated method of analysis, assessment and environmental development, was achieved, including the proposal of design features of razor blade shredders, supported by genetic algorithms, and devices for stabilizing polymer powders in additive manufacturing with recycling.
