Week 05. 3D Scanning and Printing

Assignments for this week

Group assignment

  • test the design rules for your 3D printer(s)

Individual assignment

  • design and 3D print an object (small, few cm3, limited by printer time)
  • 3D scan an object (and optionally print it)

What I've done this week

  1. Test the design rules for our 3D printers
    • Design a model for testing over hang and angle
    • Print the tester with FDM 3D printer
    • Print the tester with SLA 3D printer
  2. Design and print an cup stand
    • Design a cup stand
    • Print cup stand with FDM
    • Print cup stand with SLA
  3. 3D scan a dango

1. Test the design rules for our 3D printers

I tested two 3D printer:

Mutoh MF2000
Printing method Filament Deposition Modeling (FDM)
Building area X210 x Y205 x Z205 mm
Minimum layer height 0.1 mm
Nozel diameter 0.3 mm

Mutoh

Formlabs Form3
Printing method Stereolithography (SLA)
Building area X145 x Y145 x Z185 mm
Minimum layer height 0.025 mm
Laser diameter 0.085 mm

* Design a model for testing over hang and angle

I designed a tester model that can test over hang and angle at once.

Since, the building area of the two printers were different I designed the tester to fit in Form3.

I printed the tester with MF-2000.

I printed the tester with Form3.
