| Abstract Scope |
Inkjet 3D printing utilizes layer-by-layer droplet interaction and solidification to generate 3D components. In this project, an open-source design is utilized to create a customized 3D inkjet printer by improving its printability and its cost. A customized casing has been added in the feed and build pistons to limit the amount of loose powders that could seep into the piston’s machinery and cause damage. Sake has been selected to be the binder and a mixture of biodegradable granulated sugar, meringue powder, and powdered sugar has been selected to be the powder. The recipe for the feedstock has shown promising results using a heated plate. Several patterns are demonstrated using this customized inkjet printer. |
