"we think 3-d printer should be no harder than taking a word document and sending it to your inkjet printer. you're modeling a creature, you're modeling a part, you're using any of the 123d apps, you hit print and it comes out on your makerbot." makerbot's bre pettis notes ...
FDM (fused deposition modeling) 3D printing is one of the most practical and popular 3D printing technologies today due to its ability to print a wide range of materials (i.e., polymers, composites, metals). One such material is PET, a polymer most notably used to make plastic bottles, ...
3D Modeling of Five Speed Manual Transmission System for Teaching Aid Vehicles This paper describes 3D modeling of five speed transmission is designed and constructed by using AutoCAD software, 3D Mesh software, MakerBot 3D printer and digitizer. This 3D modeling of five speed transmission is good ...
The MakerBot Replicator Z18 combines an extra-large build volume with ease-of-use and connectivity features so you can go from 3D model to 3D print efficiently and easily. Optimized for MakerBot PLA filament, the Replicator Z18 can create extra-large, ul
Unlike most free software for creating 3D models (such as the famous application Blender), OpenSCAD focuses on the CAD aspects rather than the artistic aspects of 3D modeling. Thus this might be the application you are looking for when you are planning to create 3D models of machine parts but...
The main thing you need to know, is there are two broad categories of 3D printers you might consider for your classroom, Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and Stereolithography (SL). My printer does FDM so that’s what I’m familiar with and able to speak to. I really want to try SL,...
The following description emphasizes three-dimensional printers using fused deposition modeling or similar techniques where a bead of material is extruded in a layered series of two dimensional patterns as “roads,”“paths” or the like to form a three-dimensional object from a digital model. It ...
