6 Axis 3-D Printer

Pubblico

The goal of the project was to create a hardware and software platform for performing mobile 6-axis additive manufacturing on a hexapod base. The 6-axis 3D printer translated in the x-, y-, and z-axes and rotated in the a-, b-, and c-axes. Being 6-axis removes the need for supports to be printed, speeding up print times. Being a mobile 3D printer allows for a theoretically infinite print area/size of the print. The software converted 3D models into 6-axis instructions for the robot without further user input.
