The Prusa i3 is a family of fused deposition modeling 3D printers, manufactured by Czech company Prusa Research under the trademarked name Original Prusa i3. Part of the RepRap project , Prusa i3 printers were called the most used 3D printer in the world in 2016. [ 1 ]
Juan acquired the eighth RepRap 3D printer of the world (manufactured by Makerbot) and he edited a series of 63 video-tutorials for the Spanish community which comprised the step by step instructions to assembly from scratch a Prusa 2 model [1] and became very popular. He also continued its production of open online courses (MOOC), grouped ...
The Prusa Mini, stylized as the Original Prusa MINI, is an open-source fused deposition modeling 3D printer that is manufactured by the Czech company Prusa Research. [1] [2] The printer is the lowest cost machine produced by Prusa Research and is designed as a first printer or as part of a 'print farm'.
Computer-aided design (CAD) model used for 3D printing. The manual modeling process of preparing geometric data for 3D computer graphics is similar to plastic arts such as sculpting. 3D scanning is a process of collecting digital data on the shape and appearance of a real object, creating a digital model based on it.
These instructions can be processed by a 3D printer to manufacture the corresponding model in either a bottom-up, top-down or even left to right manner. Before generating the instructions, support structures can be added to connect overhanging sections of the model to either the printing surface or other parts of the model.
A desktop FFF printer made by Stratasys. Fused deposition modeling was developed by S. Scott Crump, co-founder of Stratasys, in 1988. [6] [7] With the 2009 expiration of the patent on this technology, [8] people could use this type of printing without paying Stratasys for the right to do so, opening up commercial, DIY, and open-source 3D printer applications.
Both are complete systems for translating 3D computer models into G-code, the machine language that commands the printer. Later, other programs like Slic3r and Cura were created. Recently, the Franklin firmware was created to allow RepRap printers to be used for other purposes such as milling and fluid handling. [16]
