Optimisation of 3D printing parameters.

Hey everyone, I’m a recent sub. I handed in my final year research paper (I study mechanical engineering) today on optimising the combination of 3D printing parameters (shell thickness, infill %, infill geometry and layer height) to minimise printing times while maintaining similar load bearing capabilities for mainly application in robotic arms (BCN3D MOVEO, open sourced btw really cool manipulator). The results show that the project managed to reduce printing times by 50-60% in the studies case (varies depending on what you’re comparing) whilst maintain a similar strength (losses of ~20% max) and wondering if anyone would be interested/ I’m allowed to upload the report. Let me know 🙂 http://ift.tt/2zbKEzJ
