适用于学生自主实践的机械臂式3D打印机的研制

Development of Robot Arm 3D Printer Suitable for Students’ Independent Practice

针对目前高等学校使用的成品3D打印机在学生自主实践时出现的直观性差、人机比高的问题,提出了一款适用于高校学生自主实践的机械臂式3D打印机。该3D打印机的整体框架采用全开放式的机械系统,硬件控制系统采用大学生熟知的Arduino主控板,软件控制系统采用完全开源的Repetier-host软件、cura软件和Arduino IDE软件。该3D打印机组成元件一部分由学生自制,一部分选用通用电子元件,成本控制在1000元左右,从而保证实践课程中3:1的人机比。

Aiming at the problems of poor intuition and high man-machine ratio of the finished 3D printer used in colleges and universities in students’ independent practice,a manipulator 3D printer suitable for college students’ independent practice is proposed.The overall framework of the 3D printer adopts a fully open mechanical system,the hardware control system adopts the Arduino main control board familiar to college students,and the software control system adopts the completely open source repeater host software,cura software and Arduino IDE software.Some components of the 3D printer are self-made by students,and some are general electronic components.The cost is controlled at about 1000 yuan,so as to ensure the 3:1 man-machine ratio in the practical course.
