9 Chapter 6 Conclusion

This project focused on designing and manufacturing an affordable 3D printer for commercial use with a print area of 250x250x250mm and accuracy of 9 μm. The goal was to reduce costs by designing custom parts locally and assembling the printer to provide students and businesses a cheaper alternative than existing commercial options. Testing of the completed 3D printer found it capable of producing both educational and commercial prototypes accurately and precisely through optimization of printing parameters like infill percentage, bed temperature, print speed, and layer thickness.

“DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING OF 3D PRINTER”

CHAPTER 6

CONCLUSION

This project emphasizes on 3D Printing technology which is rapidly evolving. The project

focuses on designing a better, aesthetically appealing and economically feasible 3D

printer for commercial purposes.

In this era, industry applying lean manufacturing the minimal wastage of material has

gained importance. Whereas the conventional manufacturing techniques lead to

subtractive method of manufacturing which further proceeds to a lot of wastage of raw

material. Here the additive manufacturing technique (3D Printing) comes with an

alternate solution of manufacturing method of addition of material which means

absolutely zero wastage of material.

Now considering the market survey, we have lot of commercial 3D printers available out

there but it costs a bit more which is not affordable to all. So the main aim was to design

and manufacture a 3D printer with commercial usage in minimum possible price and a

better accuracy. After lots of discussion sessions, we proceeded to achieve reduction in

price by designing and manufacturing some parts and purchase remaining ones from local

vendors and assemble them all. After assembly, aesthetic looks were taken care of by

allowing acrylic sheets envelope.

The larger print area (250×250×250 mm) and movement of bed allows manufacturing

complex parts. Now the result was having a 3D printer with accuracy 9 µm and capable

of manufacturing both educational as well as commercial prototypes. Thus providing

students and industrialist a better solution for their respective purposes.

“DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING OF 3D PRINTER”

From all of above discussion we summarised that:

In present time 3D printer going on progressing such a way that it will get implemented

soon in the industry hence we have gained sufficient knowledge about it. Printing area

250×250×250 mm is achieved and accuracy of printer upto 9 µm is achieved. Practically

component are manufactured and further analysed. Analysis of experimental data

obtained through Taguchi experimental design is carried out using MINITAB 16 to

determine the influence of process parameters on particular response variables. From this

optimization test we found standardised variables are IP- 45, BT-40, SPEED- 85 & LT-

0.3 under which we can manufacture accurate and precise specific square block.
