Design and Fabrication of Arduino Based Flexible Manufacturing Process on the Desk: 3D Printing

Abstract

Abstract: Rapid prototyping technology also referred to as additive manufacturing or 3D printing, which can be used to create physical objects from geometrical representation by successive addition of materials in layer-by-layer form. 3D printing technology is the fastest emerging technology used to make work easier. It can be used in a wide range of materials such as PLA, ABS, HIPS & composite. 3D printing is a rapidly growing and very perfectly cost optimized form of rapid prototyping. 3D printing technology is appreciable in future challenges for mass production. This type of printing is anticipated to influence the industries like Medical, Education, Equipment, Automation, consumer Products and various businesses. The process adopted by us is FDM technology, in which different materials like ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), PLA (Polylactic Acid), HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene), etc. By heating any of the filament material to its melting point, it is deposited layer by layer. Combining many layers of such a type will give us a final 3D model. This project explains the layout, improvement and production of a 3D printing system which could produce a high give up fine product at a completely low price. This 3-D printing project can be used in various fields like Rapid Prototyping, instructional zone, residence-keep printing purposes, industrial 3D Printing offerings and retailers
