Design of A 3d-Printer

摘要

This paper describes the project based on 3-D printing technology. A 3-D printer is a machine which uses additive manufacturing process to create a 3-dimensional object using digital data. This 3-D printer uses the FDM technology and has 3-axis arrangement with inbuilt heating platform. The heating platform can be finely tuned for precise levelling. This 3-D printer can print things right from microns to 180mm. It is compatible with various materials having melting temperature up to 300°C. The materials like PLA, ABS, HIP, etc can be used. The structure of the 3-D printer is rigid cuboidal frame of 6065 Aluminum having a printing volume of 180x180x180mm~3. The main objective of the project is to create a reliable and most cost efficient 3-D printer. This project also emphasizes on design of such machines, various types of extruding materials and its application in some of the core engineering, architecture and medical fields.
