  • 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.

  • Live Software for Reprap Assembly Workshops
    Torbjørn Ludvigsen Live Software For RepRap Assembly Workshops MASTER'STHESIS SUPERVISOR:MARCINJAKUBOWSKI EXAMINER:MARTINROSVALL DEPARTMENTOFPHYSICS UME AUNIVERSITY˚ This document was compiled on June 16, 2016. Status: Defended and approved This work is licensed under a Attribution 4.0 International licence. Copyright © 2016 Torbjørn Ludvigsen Abstract A key step when initiating robot powered production is setting up the control software. This can be a threshold for operators, especially if the software is fragmented and system requirements are extensive. One way to address this is to pre-configure all the control programs and bundle them with a system that fulfills all the requirements. In this work a live Operating System (OS) is loaded with control software and configured to meet the needs of those who have just as- sembled their first 3D printer. The problem of downloading, configuring and installing various 3D printer controlling programs is reduced to the problem of distributing and booting the live OS. The solution of loading it onto bootable USB drives is tested and evaluated in the context of a commercial RepRap Assembly Workshop (RAW), an event where people pay for RepRap 3D printer parts as well as assembly and usage supervision. The RAW is unusually short, so the bootable USB drives' potential to help RAW hosts with particularly tight time schemes is tested. The results show a limited success. The USB drive is documented not to work for 3 participant groups out of a total of 11 groups. As a solution to fragmented software and diverse system requirements, the live OS is found to work well once booted.

  • Appendix to the Paper 3D Printen Van Scheepsmodellen SWZ-Maritime 2012
    Appendix to the paper 3D printen van scheepsmodellen SWZ-maritime 2012 This appendix contains additional material to the paper (which is in Dutch): • An abstract in English. • Links to relevant websites. • Additional figures and photos, which could not be accommodated in the paper. Abstract The paper 3D printing of ship models is aimed at methods for fast and low-cost fabrication of scale models of ship designs. After a survey of different fabrication technologies it is concluded that for Do-It-Yourself (DIY) printing the Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM), where a model is built up from tiny layers of plastic, is most appropriate. A driver in this conclusion is the emersion of low-cost FDM printers which are also available in the form of open- source hardware, such as the Dutch Ultimaker. The authors have access to appropriate software for the design of a ship hull as well as the internal arrangement, and this software was used to produce 3D printing files for the Ultimaker for two examples. These artefacts are presented and the experiences are discussed. One conclusion was that although the models where not always perfect (e.g. due to shrinkage strain), they might serve very well in the design process of a ship. Subsequently, the question of outsourcing is addressed, and a comparison is made between DIY and full-service outsourcing. Outsourcing brings more accurate model production technologies into reach of the common man, and examples of such are shown. The paper ends with an outlook into future developments.
