Wire Embedding 3D Printer
Wire Embedding 3D Printer Jacob Bayless, Mo Chen, Bing Dai Engineering Physics University of British Columbia April 12, 2010 Preface This project began when, seeking a self-sponsored project, we decided to pursue the concept of open-source hardware. While searching for a project to develop, we happened upon the RepRap 3D printer. The potential to close the gap between software and hardware that a 3D printer could offer was apparent, and we immediately set out in search of ways to improve the device. Thus began what would become the SpoolHead project, but we three may not claim all of the credit. A large share of the credit goes to the inventors of the RepRap itself, primarily Adrian Bowyer and Ed Sells, but also many other contributors. We also should thank Sebastien Bailard for promoting our project and helping us manage documentation. All of our work on the RepRap would never have been possible if we had not come across Wade Bortz, an inventive and unbelievably generous Vancouver RepRap developer who offered to print us a full set of Darwin parts. When we found that our extruder didn't have enough torque, Wade gave us one of his own geared extruders to \test out". He patiently bore our nagging questions and bicycled all the way to the University of British Columbia campus to attend our presentations. Wade represents the best example of how a community can build itself up around a project and bring people together. It was already near to the end of February when we came into contact with Mr. -
Neonate: Reinventing Open Source 3D Printers NEONATE: REINVENTING OPEN SOURCE 3D PRINTERS
Neonate: Reinventing Open Source 3d Printers NEONATE: REINVENTING OPEN SOURCE 3D PRINTERS 1AMEY BAVISKAR, 2AMEYA JHAWAR, 3SOHAN MALEGAONKAR, 4ARTH VASAVADA 1,2,3,4Pravara Rural Engineering College, Loni, Maharastra Abstract— In this paper we are presenting a open source software Neonate, which is combination of two existing open source software OpenSCAD and Printrun using Slic3r and OCP (One Click Print) Paradigm. Neonate that allows the fast development of 3D objects for fabrication on 3D printers. Fabricating with Neonate helps user to easily modify, share or print the 3D objects. Usage of three different software just to print an object is an arduous job. Instead of choosing strenuous path for printing an object this paper allows user to use a single software. As a non searched result, we have observed that Neonate also helps users to save their time. Keywords—Neonate, 3D Printer, Open Source, OpenSCAD, Printrun, OCP Paradigm I. INTRODUCTION later, in May 29th the first replication was achieved. Since then, the reprap community (original reprap 3D printing is a technique of creating 3D solid objects machines and derived designs) has been growing of practically any shape from its digital model and exponentially. The current estimated population is using almost any material. With the use of additive around 4500 machines. The second reprap generation, manufacturing, it refers to creation of objects using called Mendel, was finished in September 2009. Some sequential layering. It is exactly opposite of traditional of the main advantages of the Mendel printers over subtractive process such as drilling, boring and many Darwin are bigger print area, better axis efficiency, other similar processes. -
Paste Deposition Modelling, Deconstructing the Additive Manufacturing Process: Development of Novel Multi- Material Tools and Techniques for Craft Practitioners
PASTE DEPOSITION MODELLING, DECONSTRUCTING THE ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING PROCESS: DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL MULTI- MATERIAL TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES FOR CRAFT PRACTITIONERS A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Esteban Schunemann Department of Engineering and Design, Brunel University London 2015 ii I. Abstract A novel paste deposition process was developed to widen the range of possible materials and applications. This experimental process developed an increasingly complex series of additive manufacturing machines, resulting in new combinations of novel materials and deposition paths without sacrificing many of the design freedoms inherit in the craft process. The investigation made use of open-source software together with an approach to programming user originated infill geometries to form structural parts, differing from the somewhat automated processing by 'closed' commercial RP systems. A series of experimental trials were conducted to test a range of candidate materials and machines which might be suitable for the PDM process. The combination of process and materials were trailed and validated using a series of themed case studies including medical, food industry and jewellery. Some of the object created great interest and even, in the case of the jewellery items, won awards. Further evidence of the commercial validity was evidenced through a collaborative partnership resulting in the development of a commercial version of the experimental system called Newton3D. A number of exciting potential future directions having been opened up by this project including silicone fabrics, bio material deposition and inclusive software development for user originated infills and structures. iii II.

Direct and Indirect Laser Sintering of Metals
Direct and Indirect Laser Sintering of Metals By Montasser Marasy A. Dewidar A Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds School of Mechanical Engineering Leeds UK May 2002 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. Abstract 11 ABSTRACT Manufacturing functional prototypes and tools using conventional methods usually is a time consuming procedure with multiple steps. The pressure to get products to market faster has resulted in the creation of several Rapid Prototyping (RP) techniques. However, potentially one of the most important areas of Rapid Manufacturing (RM) technology lies in the field of Rapid Tooling (RT). Layer manufacture technologies are gaining increasing attention in the manufacturing sector for the production of polymer mould tooling. Layer manufacture techniques can be used in this potential manufacturing area to produce tooling either indirectly or directly, and powder metal based layer manufacture systems are considered an effective way of producing rapid tooling. Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is one of available layer manufacture technologies. SLS is a sintering process in which shaped parts are built up layer by layer from bottom to top of powder material. A laser beam scans the powder layer, filling in the outline of each layers CAD-image, and heats the selected powder to fuse it. This work reports the results of an experimental study examining the potential of layer manufacturing processes to deliver production metal tooling for manufacture of polymer components. -

Furthermore, most important features supporting the conscious choice of 3D printing methods for applications in micro and nanomanufacturing are covered. The micromanufacturing method covers photopolymerization-based methods such as stereolithography (SLA), digital light processing (DLP), the liquid crystal display–DLP coupled method, two-photon polymerization (TPP), and inkjet-based methods. Functional photocurable materials, with magnetic, conductive, or specific optical applications in the 3D printing processes are also reviewed. Keywords: 3D printing; high-resolution; additive manufacturing; photopolymerization; industry 4.0; stereolithography; two-photon polymerization 1. Introduction Three dimensional (3D) printing is currently an extremely important branch of Research and Development (R&D) departments. This is because of its rapid prototyping, swift elimination of design errors, and improvements of the product at the prototyping stage. This approach significantly accelerates the implementation of new solutions without incurring significant production costs and eliminating in-production testing of underdeveloped models. Thanks to 3D printing techniques, making a prototype with complex geometry has become possible in a short time with unprecedented precision [1].
