Diseño y construcción de un prototipo 3D en una bomba de engranajes para aplicaciones biológicas.

Abstract

This study aims to achieve the optimal design of a gear pump to meet essential requirements for handling various biological fluids. Employing a quality-focused approach, critical needs are identified and prioritized, followed by a concurrent design process, allowing for the generation and systematic evaluation of alternative designs based on predefined criteria. To assess the design's effectiveness, a Matlab program was developed using AGMA 2001-D04 standards for gears. This program established bending and contact stresses to which the gears would be subjected, along with predefined limits before failure. Results were cross-verified through an ANSYS simulation to validate stress values. Furthermore, 3D printing of the designed gears using ASA material was carried out to physically observe the motion, engagement, and arrangement within the pump. This multidimensional evaluation provides a comprehensive understanding of the designed gear pump's performance, combining analytical, numerical, and tangible assessments.
