Abstract

Abstract: Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is an Additive Manufacturing technique for printing 3D objects layer by layer. The key purpose of the study is to design & develop a 3D Printing system using easily available parts and conventional methods of manufacturing which can be used to print objects confined within 220 x 220 x 300 (in mm) Printing Area. Many Industries uses traditional methods for developing prototype for analysis rather than using technologies like 3D printing because it is expensive. After thorough market survey, we came to a conclusion that 3DPrinters available in the Indian market are priced around Rs. 50,000 to 60,000 due to type of supporting material used. Initially we designed our 3D Printer completely in 3D Modelling Software CATIA and selected readily available material appropriately so as to develop a cost-effective printer. Main objective of research is to design & develop a 3D component manufacturing system which is cost effective and to encourage manufacturers to adopt the method of 3D Printing.Keyword: Arduino UNO, Repramp, CATIA, CURA
