Presentation Transcript

  1. Mendel Huxley RepRap open-hardware rapid prototyping machine Cartesio Printerbot

  2. RepRap Versions • "Darwin“ March 2007 • "Mendel“ October 2009 • "Prusa Mendel“ 2010 • "Huxley" 2010 http://www.reprap.org/wiki/RepRapPro_Mendel

  3. Instructables and OpenSource • CAD files for Ultimaker Known Ingredients • Stepper motors • Microcontrollers • Sensors • Frame • Lots and lots of wires

  4. Cartridge Materials- Thermoplastics • Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) (chemical formula (C8H8)x· (C4H6)y·(C3H3N)z), a copolymer made by polymerizing styrene and acrylonitrile in the presence of polybutadiene, Amorphous> (no true melting point) approximate is 221 °F • Polylactic acid or polylactide (PLA) (C3H4O2)n aliphaticpolyester made from renewable resources, (corn starch , tapioca products (roots, chips or starch) or sugarcanes. Disadvantage: is difficult to recycle Advantage: high stiffness, minimal warping, translucent color, biodegradable, plant-derived • Similar thermoplastics, ideas?

  5. Advantages of the Project • Creation of a printer for the lab This could then be integrated into CAD courses, or moved to the art department for use • Development of personal skill Working on this project will give us the knowledge we would need if we later wanted to create our own printer at home As engineers, this gives us the opportunity to create and print new inventions, innovations, or artwork

  6. Budget $500
