Desenvolvimento de sistema de movimentação CoreXY para impressora 3D

Abstract

Additive manufacturing is a relatively new and promising technology. It started to be part of many project phases, from rapid prototyping to the conception of the final product in many different areas. Your expressive growth allied with the lack of information inside the Brazilian territory gives us the opportunity to develop 3D printing. As one option of 3D printing, fused deposition modeling is a process where an object is made from fused material that is laid down by layers. Due to the increasing popularity, one of its options was created directly to attend enthusiasts, which wanted cheap and compact printers to print small objects. Based on that, the Grupo de Impressão 3D from Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná gathered to design and build their own 3D printer inside the university for academic purposes. Volunteers founded this group to support and assist interested students. The main focus of this paper work is directed to the XY cartesian motion system for the group’s printer, which must be simple and easy to assemble.
