Abstract The term 3D printing is often used as a synonym for Additive Manufacturing or Rapid Prototyping. 3D printing is the technology at the core of Additive Manufacturing, and with rapid development, 3D printers can also be used to make final products. 3D printing is based on conversion of the digital model of the product into a physical, three-dimensional object, in a layer-after-layer manner. The process of 3D printing does not require custom designed tools, while it produces custom designed products, building the object layer by layer, often directly making it on a working platform. Here the building of a 3D printer is described, following an open-source project for the device Rostock MAX 3D printer, /1/. Components like various joints and rods and essential parts of the 3D printer had to be printed on another 3D printer. Both the printer that was made and the one used for its making have delta configuration, /2/. After assembling the 3D printer, the calibration should be performed. Upon successful calibration, the 3D printer should be tested by printing a cube, /1/. Keywords: 3D printing, sensors, actuators, open-source project, project-based learning |
