BUILD A DELTA THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTER USING FUSED DEPOSITION MODELING TECHNOLOGY AND IT'S EFFICACY IN VARIOUS ASPECTS

Abstract

Three-dimensional printing is an additive manufacturing process that produces a physical object from a digital design by interacting mechanical power with digital intelligence. This additive manufacturing process works on the principal to lay down thin layers of material and fuse them to get the desired structure. Three-dimensional printers used nowadays are in developing phase and many challenges are associated with them such as the dimensions of Delta Three-dimensional printer are quite large especially its height, which cause unsuitability and vibration while operation. Error detection of Three-dimensional printers are also very difficult due to their complex structure. In this research work, a Hybrid Delta Three-dimensional printer is developed to overcome challenges / disadvantages of Three-dimensional printers. The Hybrid Delta three-dimensional printer utilises a process of stacking and fusing layers of various materials to create three-dimensional objects. It can produce more complicated geometries than conventional three-dimensional printing technologies , is relatively quick, has low setup cost, and works with a enormous expanding range of materials . This developed Delta Three-dimensional printer has many advantages and will be used extensively in the engineering industry, its application includes prototyping and execute ideas into reality. In designing of Delta Three-dimensional printer, three stepper motor was used to move various parts of Delta Three-dimensional printer which provide more degree of freedom to our extruder to use all axis movement together to reduce time and cost.
