Low-cost entry-level 3D printers suffer from reduced optimization, that is a consequence of development cost savings. A student challenge was used to modify four Prusa i3 machines with the aim of enhancing the design and performances by means of self-replicated parts. The challenge results were assessed through benchmarking of the four modified 3D printers, whose dimensional accuracy was evaluated by means of CMM measurements of 3D printed replicas of a reference part. The ISO IT grades related to the dimensional quality of the replicas were considered in the analysis of the CMM measures for the challenge assessment.

Abstract
Low-cost entry-level 3D printers suffer from reduced optimization, that is a consequence of development cost savings. A student challenge was used to modify four Prusa i3 machines with the aim of enhancing the design and performances by means of self-replicated parts. The challenge results were assessed through benchmarking of the four modified 3D printers, whose dimensional accuracy was evaluated by means of CMM measurements of 3D printed replicas of a reference part. The ISO IT grades related to the dimensional quality of the replicas were considered in the analysis of the CMM measures for the challenge assessment.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
