Development of Open Source FDM 3D Printer (P-0274) (MFN 4703)

Abstract

The world with its constants struggle for evolution enabled the man to strive for the new challenges and inventions. Keeping in mind the technological revolution, the concept of 3d printing evolves. The thought behind this idea is to enable man to print any kind of three dimensional objects from the computer design to real world. The logic is implemented by a mechanical structure capable of moving in all three dimensions. This concept has been in field for not so long but the project is now listed in open source projects to enable mankind to take benefit from this invention. The open source blogs like reprap, ultimaker etc are the major players in this field. The printer uses a CAD based 3d image and coverts the 3D image into machine readable code which are connected efficiently to mechanics of the projects. The project proposed is based on open source knowledge with changes in its ability to print better resolution object and clever design welcomes the changes in the type of material to be used to print the object and the size of object without changing whole printer. The project will be able to print exact 3D model with exact same dimension as specified in CAD tool using the highly efficient mechanical model.
