Abstract


This research paper contains the steps which are necessary to transform a CNC milling machine into a hybrid CNC 3D printer machine.

For this research were used a 5-axis CNC milling machine, TMA-AL-550, which belongs to the University of Oradea, equipped with a FANUC 310i-A5 series numerical control, and to make it possible to connect a printer head, was made some changes in the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller ) of CNC machine.

Also, mechanically and electrically were designed a printer head, which later was connected to the CNC machine, after a few subsequent modifications proved to be functional. Obviously, for the NC program, we used parameterized programming, with logical conditions, and Matlab.
