Abstract

Everyday, engineers are impressing us with innovative technologies that have brought into reality what was recently considered as science fiction or inconceivable futuristic, making our lives much more comfortable and more enjoyable. Recently, 3D printing helps in a far-reaching analog-to-digital shift that will completely transform the global manufacturing industry. It will change almost everything, the way we design, manufacture, distribute and consume.3D printers print objects from computer models to real 3D physical objects. The printing is done layer by layer using different materials. As different materials used for printing there are various techniques used for 3D printing, as well as the construction of the printer itself. In this study, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of installing and analyzing the output of an open-source 3D printer.
