Abstract Scope |
Bed size is a major limiting factor in the 3d printing community. The maximum size of a printed part is generally slightly smaller than the printer’s build plate. This paper describes research to print parts with multiple materials that are able to unfold once removed from the build plate. This capability greatly increases the possible part size for a given print envelope and aids in the compactability and transportation of large objects. Using fused granular fabrication (FGF), successful tests have been achieved with a variety of fabrics and plastics. Several promising combinations are demonstrated using an example design. |
