By Ali Etezadkhah, Project Manager Advantages: Open and rigid frame Can be built using hand tools or CNC machine Extruded and flat plate aluminum Linear rail-based x and y axes with smooth and quiet operation and less maintenance Faster printing possible due to increased rigidity Second generation solves problems with the first generation Heavy and […]
By Maxwell Nguyen Level 1 Requirements: Our top mission requirements are derived from the specifications of the standard Arxterra Rosco. The requirements will include speed, power consumption, cost, and time. Speed: Our rover is expected to move at a speed of 0.200277 m/s. This is calculated using the standard wheel diameter of 45mm and RPM […]
By Mustafa Alkhulaitit – Project Manager After researching some of the techniques for smoothing the surface of a printed object, we made a conclusion that acetone vapor bath is one of the simplest ways for achieving the desired goal. Up to this point, we do not have the 3D printer to perform this experiment, so […]

By Mustafa Alkhulaitit – Project Manager One of our main objectives is to add an additional extruder head to the 3D printer. The dual extruder upgrade will remove any shape restrictions. There are many shapes that the single extruder head will not be able to print. The dual extruder head will allow us to print […]
By Ali Etezadkhah, Project Manager Team members: Ali Etezadkhah – Project Manager Mevan Fernando – Sensors, Actuators & Powertrain Anh Nguyen – Controls & Image Processing Omair Tariq – Systems and Tests Our team has chosen to continue the work on the 3D bioprinter that was built last semester. We explored using different printer designs, […]
By Mason Nguyen ADK board tested and programmed by Chau To, Tien Dang and Mason Nguyen ADK Board Based on previous objective, the team is to build a hexapod using the wireless control interface. In order to achieve that goal, we need to use the ADK Mega 2560 board where it has the ability to […]
By Maxwell Nguyen This new semester brings along a brand new team with inventive and innovative minds. The rover team will be aiming to create a brand new and improved design for the RoSco Rover. The Rover Team includes: Maxwell Nguyen – Project Manager Robert Licari – Communications Anthony Vo – Sensors, Actuator, Powertrain Suhyun […]
By Mustafa Alkhulaitit – Project Manager This research study is targeting the heated bed technology for 3D printers. Advantages and disadvantages will be analyzed in depth in this blog. First of all, there are many reasons why every 3D printer needs a heated bed. Heated beds are used because they dramatically improve the quality of […]
