Diseño e implementación de un sistema de control CNC compatible e Intercambiable para impresión 3d, corte y fresado de materiales blandos en aplicaciones didácticas

Abstract

In this work, thesis entitled "Design and Implementation of a Compatible and Interchangeable CNC Control System for 3D Printing, Cutting and Milling of soft materials in educational applications", a modular control system for a 3d printer was designed and implemented Large-scale that has the ability to use other types of tools such as a laser cutter and a milling spindle for subtractive manufacturing. The project is made up of a review of the state of the art of 3D printing, the problem posed, the justification and the results that are divided into chapters where the fundamental problem, the theoretical and referential framework, objectives, content, conclusions and bibliography are raised. . It is a project that aims to solve a specific problem, becoming an educational and didactic element of great value for the learning of mechanical engineering students at the Santo Tomas USTA Tunja University, but which has also been a learning tool by the author, since solving the problem and delivering a functional product requires an effort, based on innovation, to bring ideas to reality. And to carry out this thesis, disciplines such as mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, product design, CAD design and CAM design, additive manufacturing such as 3D printing and subtractive such as laser cutting or CNC milling have been used; Thus becoming a multidisciplinary work that brings together different knowledge to create this project that unites the three types of manufacturing in a single machine.
