6. 3D Scanning and printing
Group assignment
1. Test the design rules for your printer(s)
2. Document your work and explain what are the limits of your printer(s) (in a group or individually)
For our lab, our 3D Printer is 86Duino Enjoy Auto from Taiwan. It is a Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D Printer. It means increase the temperature for dissolving the materials. After that, material deposited in layers to create a 3D printed object, just like extruding the cream layer by layer on top of the cake. This printer is able to print 50 files automatically and continuously. Finally, when finished 1 printing, the 3D object and the plate will fill into the collection box. It is good for printing lots of object in a short time, such as, souvenir.
For this printer, we use 1.75mm (diameter) PLA as a filament. 86Duino is provide in various colors.
