3D Printing device adaptable to Computer Numerical Control (CNC)

摘要

This article presents the development of a 3D printing device for the additive manufacturing adapted to a CNC machining. The application involves the integration of a specific printing head. Additive manufacturing technology is most commonly used for modeling, prototyping, tooling through an exclusive machine or 3D printer. A global review and analysis of technologies show the additive manufacturing presents little independent solutions [6][9]. The problem studied especially the additive manufacturing limits to produce of ecological product with materials from biomass. The motivation for this work was to develop a new 3d printing device with a solution for formatting pulp or powder materials. Some problems require enslavement to the CNC controller and programming building of model. An implementation on a machine is presented along with some application examples used for its development.
