Cloud based 3D printer

摘要

Melded Deposition Modeling (MDM) is an Additive Manufacturing Technology for printing 3D objects layer by layer. The main purpose of the research is to develop a low cost 3D Printer using simply accessible materials and conventional methods for manufacture which can be used to print objects restricted within 20cm× 20cm × 25cm printing Area. Many Industries uses conventional methods for developing prototype for analysis rather than using technologies like 3D printing because it is costly. After thorough market survey, we came to a conclusion that 3D Printers available in the Indian market are priced around Rs.1, 50,000 to 4,00,000 due to type of supporting material used. Initially we designed our 3D Printer entirely in 3D Modeling Software SOLIDWORKS and analyzed each part and selected readily offered material appropriately so as to develop a cost effective printer. Main objective of research is to develop a printer which is cost effective and to encourage manufacturers to adopt the method of 3D Printing. We also added many features in this 3d printer like cloud support, auto bed leveling, all filament support, hot end cooling fan for accurate printing.
