Engineering researchers have developed filtered b-spline (FBS)
|
|||
|
|
algorithms to speed up consumer 3-D printers without sacrificing
|
|||
|
|
quality. The research was conducted in the Smart and Sustainable
|
|||
|
|
Automation Research Lab at the University of Michigan College of
|
|||
|
|
Engineering under associate professor of mechanical engineering Chinedum
|
|||
|
|
Okwudire. The research was led by PhD candidates Deokkyun Yoon and
|
|||
|
|
Molong Duan. </em></p><p>A major drawback to 3-D printing – the
|
|||
|
|
slow pace of the work – could be alleviated through a software algorithm
|
|||
|
|
developed at the University of Michigan.</p><p>The algorithm allows
|
|||
|
|
printers to deliver high-quality results at speeds up to two times
|
|||
|
|
faster than those in common use, with no added hardware costs.</p><p>One
|
|||
|
|
of the challenges for today’s 3-D printers lies in vibrations caused as
|
|||
|
|
they work. A printer’s movable parts, particularly in lightweight
|
|||
|
|
desktop models, cause vibrations that reduce the quality of the item
|
|||
|
|
being produced. And the faster the machine moves, the more vibrations
|
|||
|
|
are created.</p><p>“Armed with knowledge of the printer’s dynamic
|
|||
|
|
behavior, the program anticipates when the printer may vibrate
|
|||
|
|
excessively and adjusts its motions accordingly,” said Chinedum
|
|||
|
|
Okwudire, an associate professor of mechanical engineering who directs
|
|||
|
|
U-M’s Smart and Sustainable Automation Research Lab.</p><p>To ensure
|
|||
|
|
details are reproduced accurately, the machines are operated slowly. And
|
|||
|
|
the pace of 3-D printing is one of the factors that has prevented the
|
|||
|
|
technology finding a broader audience.</p><blockquote><p>Armed with
|
|||
|
|
knowledge of the printer’s dynamic behavior, the program anticipates
|
|||
|
|
when the printer may vibrate excessively and adjusts its motions
|
|||
|
|
accordingly.<br>-Chinedum Okwudire</p></blockquote><p>Okwudire cited statements made last year by one 3-D printing company executive about the issues holding the industry back.</p><p>“We’re
|
|||
|
|
just waiting for the next evolution of the technology,” Simon Shen, CEO
|
|||
|
|
of XYZPrinting, told TechCrunch last year. “If they can do it much
|
|||
|
|
faster, more precise and easier, that will bring more people to 3-D
|
|||
|
|
printers. Not waiting for four to six hours for a print, but 40 to 60
|
|||
|
|
minutes.”</p><p><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 1114px;"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="wevolver.com.3dprinting_files/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJ3ZXZvbHZlci1wcm9qZWN0LWltYWdlcyIsImtleSI6ImZ.webp" loading="lazy"><span class="fr-inner">On
|
|||
|
|
the bottom, vibrations from the 3-D printer caused the printhead to
|
|||
|
|
offset multiple times. On the top, the new U-M algorithm was applied to
|
|||
|
|
the printer, enabling a successful print. Both U.S. Capitol replicas

|
|||
|
|
explaining how his algorithm works, he uses the example of someone
|
|||
|
|
trying to deliver a speech in a large hall. To reach ears in the
|
|||
|
|
farthest rows, that speaker will have to shout.</p><p>Should someone
|
|||
|
|
produce a megaphone, and the speaker still continues to shout, their
|
|||
|
|
voice will be overly amplified and cause the audience to squirm. Using
|
|||
|
|
the megaphone in a normal voice, however, produces the right clarity and
|
|||
|
|
volume.</p><p>“Our software is like that person who realizes their
|
|||
|
|
voice is going to be overly amplified,” Okwudire said. “It acts
|
|||
|
|
preemptively because it knows that the behavior of the printer is going
|
|||
|
|
to be ahead of time.</p><p>“Eventually, one of the places we would want
|
|||
|
|
to see the algorithm applied is in the firmware – the software that runs
|
|||
|
|
on the printer itself,” he said. “That way, it will be integrated with
|
|||
|
|
the printers, regardless of the size.”</p><p>Okwudire said his software
|
|||
|
|
can also be used on a variety of industrial-grade machines which suffer
|
|||
|
|
from similar limitations due to vibrations.</p><p>The journal
|
|||
|
|
Mechatronics recently published the lab’s findings in a paper titled: “A
|
|||
|
|
limited-preview filtered B-spline approach to tracking control – With
|
|||
|
|
application to vibration-induced error compensation of a 3D printer.”</p></div></div><div class="sc-e8f28d27-1 dpBGZv"><div id="sticky-search" class="sc-f15725e8-0 gGfQVj"><div class="sc-73b09e21-0 gxZaRb column align-items-start"><h2 class="sc-3a4036d-0 sYWSu">Search for articles and topics on <a target="_blank" id="wevolver-logo-search" class="underline" href="https://www.wevolver.com/"> Wevolver</a></h2><form class="sc-3c4df85a-0 frpgaw"><div style="cursor: pointer;" class="sc-73b09e21-0 gxZaRb"><svg id="magnifier" viewBox="-1 -1 24 24" xmlns="https://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="18" height="18"><path d="M18.869 19.162l-5.943-6.484c1.339-1.401 2.075-3.233 2.075-5.178 0-2.003-0.78-3.887-2.197-5.303s-3.3-2.197-5.303-2.197-3.887 0.78-5.303 2.197-2.197 3.3-2.197 5.303 0.78 3.887 2.197 5.303 3.3 2.197 5.303 2.197c1.726 0 3.362-0.579 4.688-1.645l5.943 6.483c0.099 0.108 0.233 0.162 0.369 0.162 0.121 0 0.242-0.043 0.338-0.131 0.204-0.187 0.217-0.503 0.031-0.706zM1 7.5c0-3.584 2.916-6.5 6.5-6.5s6.5 2.916 6.5 6.5-2.916 6.5-6.5 6.5-6.5-2.916-6.5-6.5z" fill="var(--gray-border)"></path></svg></div><input type="text" placeholder="Search" aria-label="Search" required="" class="sc-3c4df85a-1 dkopiu"><button id="arrowRightButton" type="submit" class="sc-a74ef0f8-0 kDoRdP"> <svg id="arrow-right" viewBox="0 0 24 24" xmlns="https://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="24px" height="24px"><path d="M19.354 10.146l-6-6c-0.195-0.195-0.512-0.195-0.707 0s-0.195 0.512 0 0.707l5.146 5.146h-16.293c-0.276 0-0.5 0.224-0.5 0.5s0.224 0.5 0.5 0.5h16.293l-5.146 5.146c-0.195 0.195-0.195 0.512 0 0.707 0.098 0.098 0.226 0.146 0.354 0.146s0.256-0.049 0.354-0.146l6-6c0.195-0.195 0.195-0.512 0-0.707z" fill="var(--light-gray)"></path></svg></button></form><div id="search-tags" class="sc-73ca3318-0 hdOmuR"><div class="sc-73b09e21-0 gxZaRb align-items-center"><a style="margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-right: 0.75rem;" href="https://www.wevolver.com/tag/3d-printing">"3D Printing" </a></div><div class="sc-73b09e21-0 gxZaRb align-items-center"><a style="margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-right: 0.75rem;" href="https://www.wevolver.com/tag/machine-learning">"machine learning" </a></div><div class="sc-73b09e21-0 gxZaRb align-items-center"><a style="margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-right: 0.75rem;" href="https://www.wevolver.com/tag/digital-fabrication">"digital fabrication" </a></div><div class="sc-73b09e21-0 gxZaRb align-items-center"><a style="margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-right: 0.75rem;" href="https://www.wevolver.com/tag/laser-scanners">"laser scanners" </a></div><div class="sc-73b09e21-0 gxZaRb align-items-center"><a style="margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-right: 0.75rem;" href="https://www.wevolver.com/tag/off-the-shelf-components">"off-the-shelf components" </a></div><div class="sc-73b09e21-0 gxZaRb align-items-center"><a style="margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-right: 0.75rem;" href="https://www.wevolver.com/tag/low-cost-fabrication">"low-cost fabrication" </a></div></div><div class="explore"><a target="_blank" href="https://www.wevolver.com/all-categories"><span>Explore topics <svg id="arrow-right" viewBox="0 0 24 24" xmlns="https://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="23" height="16px"><path d="M19.354 10.146l-6-6c-0.195-0.195-0.512-0.195-0.707 0s-0.195 0.512 0 0.707l5.146 5.146h-16.293c-0.276 0-0.5 0.224-0.5 0.5s0.224 0.5 0.5 0.5h16.293l-5.146 5.146c-0.195 0.195-0.195 0.512 0 0.707 0.098 0.098 0.226 0.146 0.354 0.146s0.256-0.049 0.354-0.146l6-6c0.195-0.195 0.195-0.512 0-0.707z" fill="var(--blue)" stroke-width="1" stroke="var(--blue)"></path></svg></span></a></div></div></div></div></div><div class="sc-26d505e4-0 lcrKIC"><p style="color: var(--light-gray); text-transform: uppercase; font-size: var(--font-size-xxs); margin-bottom: 0.5rem;" class="sc-3a4036d-1 eGjZSO">Topic</p><div class="sc-73b09e21-0 gxZaRb row justify-content-start align-items-center"><a id="category-Manufacturing" style="font-size: var(--font-size-md); text-decoration: underline; text-transform: capitalize; font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; margin-right: 0.5rem;" href="https://www.wevolver.com/category/manufacturing"
