Risk Assessment in the Selection of Parts for Additive Manufacturing

The article deals with the analysis, assessment and determination of risk associated with the implementation of repairsto the maintenance system after a breakdown of a military wheeled vehicle. During the temporary repair, we assumethe replacement of failed parts with spare parts, whose were produced by additive manufacturing process. The articledescribes a possible approach to the categorization of individual parts of an integrated sy stem (military wheeled vehicle)in terms of their manufacturability using additive manufacturing technologies, especially Fused Filament Fabrication(FFF) technology, assuming the use of all currently available production materials. In case that these tech nologies areintegrated into the logistics chain to ensure preventive or corrective maintenance of equipment, it is theoreticallypossible to shorten the period of unusable state caused by logistical delays while maintaining the reliability of theequipment. For the purposes of risk analysis for a wheeled vehicle, the analysis method was chosen: Failure Modes andEffects Analysis (FMEA).
