2 Design Review Agenda Project Description System Architecture Final Design Specifications Project Status Summary of Test Results Going Forward Questions

3 Project Overview Fab@Home open-source architecture Modify an existing Fab@Home deposition system to mix materials and deposit layer by layer on print surface. A UV curable resin will be dyed to serve as a medium to demonstrate the printing of multiple materials. Interface with software http://fabathome.org

6 Systems Overview

7 Final Design Concept

8 Budget Total cost must be below $3000 dollars. Preferred cost is below $1000 dollars to better align with the Fab@Home mindset Outcome:

9 System Testing Results Deposition similar to fountain pen. When multiple colors are printed in same layer, toothpaste like effect. Edges tend to run over. Thickness is relatively repeatable.
