Fabricación de un prototipo de block de motor de combustión interna de dos tiempos por manufactura aditiva indirecta con una aleación de aluminio al silicio

Abstract

This research presents the manufacturing process of a two stroke internal combustion engine block prototype, including the additive manufacturing procedure. For this purpose, an engine block that can be manufactured with the additive manufacturing equipment was selected. Later silicone rubber molds will be obtained from the models generated by additive manufacture, whose function is to behave like matrix to obtain replicas in wax of the motor block. Finally the appropriate casting method was selected, after experimenting with several processes the engine block was fabricated with vacuum assisted casting.
