RE-DESIGN PRUSA I3 3D PRINTER USING SOFTWARE SOLIDWORKS 2016

Development of a 3D printer using scanning projection stereolithography

We have developed a system for the rapid fabrication of low cost 3D devices and systems in the laboratory with micro-scale features yet cm-scale objects. Our system is inspired by maskless lithography, where a digital micromirror device (DMD) is used to project patterns with resolution up to 10 µm onto a layer of photoresist. Large area objects can be fabricated by stitching projected images ov...

Recharge Electronics and High-tech Product Development with Solidworks Software

PPA Printer Firmware Design

A significant factor in Hewlett-Packard’s new Printing Performance Architecture (see Article 1) is the reduction of the processing power embedded in the printer. Using the host PC for all image formatting leaves only motor, print cartridge, I/O, user interface, command, and status functions to be controlled by the firmware. This results in significant cost savings by reducing processor needs an...

Natural lines inspired 3D shape re-design

We introduce an approach for re-designing 3D shapes inspired by natural lines such as the contours and skeletons extracted from the natural objects in images. Designing an artistically creative and visually pleasing model is not easy for novice users. In this paper, we propose to convert such a design task to a computational procedure. Given a 3D object, we first compare its editable lines with...

Automated (Re-)Design of Software Agents

Autonomous software agents are dynamic entitities: they are capable of discovering a need for change for additional knowledge and/or functionality on the basis of their analysis of specific situations. Agent factories are capable of redesigning and reactivating agents on the basis of the information provided by agents and/or knowledge available within the agent factories. As a result agents may...
