  Abstract

In this study, the exterior materials for humanoid robot arm were developed using a cylindrical(Cyl) printing method based on fused filament fabrication(FFF) 3D printing technology. The cylinder printing method uses a three-dimensional cylinder modelingand prints large area curled inside using FFF 3D printing. Shore 95 A thermoplastic polyurethane filament was utilized to print soft exteriors with four different thicknesses (1.0, 2.5, 4.0 and 5.0 mm), and these were analyzed for their bending, compressive and tensile properties. The cylindrical models were created using Fusion 360 of 3D modeling program with specific dimensions and then sliced with set 3D printing conditions. The study found that printing time and weight increased proportionally with thickness, and the mechanical properties varied accordingly. Cyl1.0 of 1.0 mm thickness exhibited hard and tough characteristics due to its lack of infill, while Cyl5.0 of 5.0 mm thickness demonstrated excellent bending, tensile, and compressive properties, making it the most suitable for manufacturing. Other thicknesses, except for Cyl1.0, were also deemed appropriate for exterior materials of humanoid robot arm, depending on specific requirements such as lightweight and rigidity. Future research will investigate the application of these materials to other parts of humanoid robots.
