Abstract
With the use of CAD (computer-aided design) software, 3D printed products are manufactured through using additive manufacturing processes. Engineering for 3D printing offers a wide range of operations. In this project, the main focus focuses on the creation of an affordable, portable 3D printer with a bed volume of 180 x 180 x 180 mm³. We are using four-axis mechanisms, three of which are x, y, and z, and one of which is an extruder.
Designers leverage FDM methodology in their technique, which utilizes a range of materials, such as PLA (polylactic acid) and ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene). Each filament material may be melted by heating it to the desired temperature and is then poured layer by layer. Numerous layers of this sort together will produce a final 3D model.
