CAD & Rapid Prototyping by 3- Dimensional Printing (3DP TM ) Rapid Toolers: Jordan Medeiros Stephanie Silberstein Hannah Yun
Recap: Tetrakaidecahedron
What’s the Point? Possible Applications - Structure -
Task 1: Verify Theoretical Predictions with Real World Testing and Analysis Theory: “Nearly Isotropic”? Real World Testing
Crystallography Highest Ordered Cubic Point Group Symmetries
Testing Faces
Printing & De-powdering
Results:
Impregnating with Wax!
Symmetries
Overall Printing Process
Materials Selection
Cyanoacrylate (C5H5NO2) “Z Bond 101” – Moisture Cured Flexural Strength: 17.2 MPa* E ~ 2.7 GPa* * Jim Bredt, ZCorp
Task 2: Differentiate Between Which Results are due to the Structure and Which are Due to the Fabrication Process E 1 E 2 E 3
Load Cell & Displacement Selection Using Beam Theory:
Task 3: Inspect How Properties Change as We approach Strut Length Boundaries Tetrakaidecahedron Property Geometric Parameter
Task 3 - Method
Software Issues
Other Issues: Cost Cost of Random Aluminum Foam, June 1998 (ERG in Oakland, CA) 24 pieces: 0.8 x 1.6" x 9.4"/Dogbone: $70 How much would it cost to 3DP our structure, factoring in time?
