The results are comparable with the results reported by Juho Vesanto for the printer Dimension SST 1200 (Stratasys), though the test objects themselves vary a bit dimension-wise.Ģ) Design and 3D print an object (small, few cm) that could not be made subtractivelyįor this task I chose to design and print a bottle with a disc inside. The middle spike (5 mm) has a hole on its surface. However, the smallest cones 0.5 mm and 1.5 mm are not printed at all or printed with poor quality. The 3D printing result is generally ok the surface is neat and the larger cones have good quality. The pictures illustrate the 3D printing settings and the outcome. The annotations are done in Gimp.įor printing I used the printer Stratasys Fortus 380mc and the software Insight and Stratasys Control Center. The following picture shows the design outcome in SolidWorks. I used SolidWorks to design the test object of length 4 mm, width 3 mm, and height 5mm (the base). The test object is a rectangle with 5 spikes and 5(or 4) pits of conic shapes. Due to time limitation, I chose to design and test only one object from the entire kit (the second object in the top row in the link also presented here). I have designed my own test object based on a commercially available test kit. In Fablab Oulu, Antti and Juha have tested and documented the testing of a ready-made test object. We had three tasks this week: 1) test the design rules for your printer(s) (group project) 2) design and 3D print an object (small, few cm) that could not be made subtractively 3) 3D scan an object (and optionally print it) (extra credit: make your own scanner)ġ) Test the design rules for your printer

The lecture 5 on Wednesday 24.2 was about 3D printing and scanning. Study archive - Week 5 3D Scanning and printing
