Core XY fused deposition modeling 3D printer

Additive manufacturing, broadly referred to as 3D printing, has quickly become a powerful tool in the design and innovation process. Among the many benefits of 3D printing is the rapid turnover between iterations, making this technology very valuable to me as a product design engineer. The HyperCube Evolution is an open source 3D printer build common amongst 3D printing enthusiasts. I chose to take on this build to increase my knowledge of 3D printing while developing another 3D printer for my Senior Design course as well as adding another printer to my 3D printer arsenal.

Responsibilities

This self-led project served a fantastic learning experience because it required me to play many roles. First of which was familiarizing myself with the technology involved, followed by the creation of a complete bill of materials. I ordered all off the shelf parts and 3D printed all additional components. Assembly is currently a work in progress, with wiring and configuration all that remains.
