System integration and automation of 3D printer for smart materials printing
Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing technology offers high speed and resolution for printing smart materials that respond to external stimuli such as light, ultrasound, and magnetic fields. We have developed an SLA 3D printer equipped with a control interface implemented in Python within the ROS framework. The student will work on improving the current printer design by integrating a rotation platform to enable a third degree of freedom in printing. Additionally, the student will modify the control interface to achieve full automation of the printing process. The student will also characterize the final printing performance. Demonstrations will be designed to highlight the advantages of this enhanced 3D printer. (Don’t you want to make this cute 2D Pikachu become 3D alive?!)
