While additive manufacturing processes are better suited for fabrication of parts with complex geometries, they face serious challenges whilst fabricating parts that require relative motion with respect to each other. The primary challenge in additive manufacturing of mechanisms is preventing the mating parts from bonding with each other during the fabrication process. In this paper the authors investigate design and additive fabrication of kinematic pairs that can move relative to each other. The paper outlines fabrication of kinematic pairs based on optimal clearance value for three basic lower order kinematic pairs, viz. revolute pair, prismatic pair, and cylindrical pair. Using empirical testing functional relationships between extractive force and clearance, and between moment and clearance have been developed. These functional relationships can be used by users to fabricate kinematic pairs using FDM based 3D printing processes. The efficacy of the proposed approach is demonstrated on 3D printed kinematic pairs and experimental validation studies. ; Mechanical Engineering
