Prionace Glauca Streamline Body 3D Printing Technology Research and Application

摘要

Prionace glauca can cruise long distance with high efficiency. The study on hydrodynamic characteristics of prionace glauca streamline body three-dimensional (3D) model will provide important reference value for the optimization design of autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and other marine equipment. 3D model is established based on the description of the prionace glauca specimen numerical value and biodegradable plastics PLA is chosen as 3D printing materials. According to model data that has been generated by the computer, the prionace glauca 3D model is produced with increasing material technology and the water resistance test is conducted. The experiment results show that 3D printing technology has greatly shortened the development cycle of product, improved productivity and reduced production cost compared with the traditional manufacturing method. In addition, the 3D model provides a powerful proof for mechanical properties verification of prionace glauca in the flow and lays the foundation for AUV structure optimization design and other related applications.
