Evaluating Temperature Influence on Low-Cost Piezoelectric Transducer Response for 3D Printing Process Monitoring

AD592 Low Cost, Precision IC Temperature Transducer

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The AD592 is a two terminal monolithic integrated circuit temperature transducer that provides an output current proportional to absolute temperature. For a wide range of supply voltages the transducer acts as a high impedance temperature dependent current source of 1 μA/K. Improved design and laser wafer trimming of the IC’s thin film resistors allows the AD592 to achieve a...

Low Cost UAV-based Remote Sensing for Autonomous Wildlife Monitoring

In recent years, developments in unmanned aerial vehicles, lightweight on-board computers, and low-cost thermal imaging sensors offer a new opportunity for wildlife monitoring. In contrast with traditional methods now surveying endangered species to obtain population and location has become more cost-effective and least time-consuming. In this paper, a low-cost UAV-based remote sensing platform...

Process Monitoring of Extrusion Based 3D Printing via Laser Scanning

Extrusion based 3D Printing (E3DP) is an Additive Manufacturing (AM) technique that extrudes thermoplastic polymer in order to build up components using a layerwise approach. Hereby, AM typically requires long production times in comparison to mass production processes such as Injection Molding. Failures during the AM process are often only noticed after build completion and frequently lead to ...

3D Printing Process Pipeline on the Internet

We develop a small and lightweight cloud based service for the utilization of 3D printer resources within an academic context. This service consists of user, artefact and printer management and utilizes existing business process management systems (BPMS) where possible and extends their functionality. It enables scheduling of printing jobs for artefacts and high utilization of 3D printer resour...
