Abstract:The development of a low cost 3D printer is presented for high performance polymers by example of a PEI type material. The development steps and technical alternatives opted for during the design process are outlined in two cycles targeting first printing of non-demanding thermoplastics, such as ABS, PLA etc., followed by an upgrade to printing PEI and similar high performance polymers. Subsystems discussed pertain to the frame, CNC axes including feed motors and motion control, the extruder, hot end and nozzl… Show more
