Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing (AM) or additive layer manufacturing (ALM) is the industrial production name for 3D printing, a computer controlled process that creates three dimensional objects by depositing materials, usually in layers.

Test Cube

Objective:

Create a cube that contains multiple different features in order to test the 3D printers.

This is a GIF of the finished printed test cube.

This is the sketch of the 20x20 millimeter cube.

This is after the sketch boss is extruded 20 millimeters.

These are 4 cut extrudes on each corner.

This is the finished cut extrude.

These are my initials cut extruded into two sides of the cube.

Then there are 2 boss extrudes on opposites side in the corners and 2 cut extrudes on opposites sides in the corners.

This is the finished cube put into Prusa slicer then uploaded on a flash drive for printing.

Roller Chain

Objective:

3D model a roller chain link of your own design and print a series of five links without print supports. When completed, the link should move as a roller-type chain.

The orginal single chain

This is the first assembly. This was made to be the first test print.

This was the print set up into prusa slicer.

This was the test print. It turned out great.

This is the make up of the final print.

This was the finished product. A tag in the front was added with my name.
