Abstract

The usage of 3d printing has been a widely applicable in various branches such as aerospace, medical, food industry and recently even in construction of houses. As we can see 3d printing has become a revolutionary invention and is becoming very common in manufacturing of various machining parts. So as we know there are various forms of 3d printing technologies and each of them have their own advantages and disadvantages. One of the main disadvantage is the quality of finishing on the 3d printed parts. Apart from this the cost of 3d printing has also been one of the major disadvantage. The purpose of this projects is to design and fabricate a 3d printer which would increase the quality of the parts manufactured and also make it cost efficient. This quality product can be achieved by decreasing the layer thickness. The other ways to increase quality of the product is fabricate the 3d printer in such a way that the temperature of the nozzle is within the given range all through the process. This project is expected to result in the fabrication of the 3d printer considering all the above features.
