Abstract

With the advent of 3D technologies, the use of additive manufacturing has made it possible to manufacture tooling for the mass production of artifacts. In this sense, the objective of the research is to insert additive manufacturing into the hydraulic tile production process, specifically in the manufacture of molds. The proposed methodology consisted of CAD modeling, selection of the prototyped material and adjustments to the printer configuration to adapt to the dimensions of the equipment. The stage of validating the molds and manufacturing the tiles was carried out in partnership with Fábrica de Mosaicos de Pelotas - RS. As a result of the research, the mold for making the tiles was manufactured using 3D printing, using CAD computer modeling, with visual reference to the tile pattern in the entrance hall of the Municipal Palace of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul. The conclusion of the research demonstrated how science, in partnership with industry, can contribute to technological advances in the means of production in an industry that preserves its century-old manufacturing process.
