Evaluation of the possibility of using flexible filamers for the manufacturing of elastic-damping elements of the suspension and vibration insulation system of agricultural machinery

Additive technologies are rapidly developing and are increasingly used in various industries, including agricultural engineering. One of the current tasks is the creation of elasticdamping elements for suspension systems and vibration isolation of transport and traction machines from thermoplastic polymers. Traditional methods of producing such elements often require signifi cant time and fi nancial costs. This article provides an overview of fl exible fi laments used in FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printing technology for the manufacture of elastic-damping elements of tracked drive carriages.
