Additive Manufacturing Exploration

The project will involve making and designing reference parts, and then producing 3D scans of those parts and providing some measurement analysis. Documentation on collection and safety must be followed throughout. 3D printing is not only a very unique way of creating something, but it also gives its user a very wide range of design options as there are few restrictions. This research project is of great interest to me because the accuracy of these machines is crucial to their progression. If there are other machines that can fabricate something to a greater degree of accuracy, they may be favoured over 3D print manufacturing. Researching this issue will help narrow down the variables that cause these uncertainties in the dimensioning of the parts and will help increase the accuracy that these machines can print to.
