This is version #2
I used a new camcorder instead of a webcam.

If you look closely you can actually see it start the next layer of material!

This 3D printer is a Dimension 768 BST.

The cup is 1 inch tall and 1/2 inch in diameter. The base or floor of the cup is 40 thousands of an inch thick as are the sidewalls of the cup. The stem of the cup is 100 thousands of an inch in diameter.

This machine uses Fused Deposition Modeling or FDM for short.

The machine is basically a large hot glue gun!

This is the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) build of a small cup 4 times faster than normal. It really takes about 9 minutes to print.

The full unaltered version is here:

Rapid Prototyping Using Legos.

(note: CAD files were made in MLCad, not LDraw, as some of you have pointed out….)

For Mechanics of Manipulations (16-741) at CMU in Spring 2009, Gurdayal Koonjul and Ned Fox (me) made a system for the rapid prototyping of Lego structures. Modelling the structure in MLCad (a free Lego CAD program), the save file is parsed in MATLAB and the output file is then sent to a DENSO 6-DOF arm. The arm picks pieces up from pre-determined locations and places them where they belong.

As this was only a semester-long project, there is lots of work still to be done, namely:
-Using webcam to find the correct pieces rather than pieces lying on a template.
-Being able to construct part even if the lines of data in the save file are not already in the correct order (ie top pieces first rather than bottom pieces first).
-Being able to place pieces that have been rotated about axes other than the Z axis.
-Other interference problems with end effector.
-Being able to parse another CAD file format (Solidworks, ProE, etc) and build that model using Legos.

If anyone is more interested, let me know and I can provide more information on what we’ve done and some problems we encountered.

TransMagic STL PRO is a 3D CAD data repair and exchange software application designed specifically for medical, digital manufacturing, rapid prototyping (RP) and 3D printing industries. Anyone needing to use STL (stereolithography) files can:
- VIEW a wide variety of native and neutral 3D files without CAD software or licenses.
- REPAIR geometric errors to create water-tight solid models.
- TRANSLATE models to accurate STL files for rapid prototyping, tooling and manufacturing.

It’s easier to repair a CAD model than an STL file!
