Sub-Project Update

Over the past few weeks, we have been testing the printer characteristics and the quality of the parts produced. Team members have various smaller projects taking place, including the printing of different internal geometries and aerospace prototypes. Below is a picture from the internal geometry project, it is printing a hexagonal honeycomb pattern, which will be tested in the upcoming weeks.. The goal is to increase strength of the part, by the experimenting with different lattice shapes within the part itself. This will allow for a lighter construction and faster print time over a solid object. The picture below

Printing Demo

The experimentation with the printers is well under way! The Prusa i3 has been the most promising and user friendly printers out of the ones housed in the lab. The workings of machine are being monitored to determine where improvements can be made. Our team has been working on implementing sensors to better improve the accuracy of the printer. The video below is of the Prusa i3 printing a Drexel Dragon. It will be used to analyze the movements of the printer and to determine where the process would benefit most from the addition of a sensor.
