It works for printers that mechanically move a printhead.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you want to reduce vibration in a moving object, most times you can do that by slowing down. But as 3D printing is already very slow, that solution creates another problem,&#8221; said Chinedum Okwudire, U-M associate professor of mechanical engineering and founder of Ulendo. &#8220;Our solution allows you to print fast without sacrificing quality.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As a result, printers could double their speed without consuming much more energy, potentially reducing the cost per printed part as well.<\/p>\n<p>The Ulendo software is called FBS, which stands for Filtered B Splines. That technical name refers to the mathematical function Okwudire&#8217;s team used to translate the machine commands from the ideal expectation to commands that would compensate for vibration in the 3D printer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Say you want a 3D printer to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a> straight, but due to vibration, the motion travels upward. The FBS algorithm tricks the machine by telling it to follow a path downward, and when it tries to follow that path, it travels straight,&#8221; Okwudire said.<\/p>\n<p>Okwudire first began thinking about software solutions for vibrations while working in industry, faced with an high-precision milling machine tool that was vibrating. His team couldn&#8217;t stiffen the machine to prevent vibrations, so they were forced to slow it down.<\/p>\n<p>Beginning at U-M as a professor in 2011, Okwudire had the freedom to design software that could overcome machine vibrations. Then in 2017, a mechanical engineering graduate student from Okwudire&#8217;s lab implemented the software on a 3D printer.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"mb-4\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\">\n    <meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"University-developed software that doubles 3D printing speeds hits the market\"\/><br \/>\n    <meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch\/?v=6sN71fx9frk\"\/><br \/>\n    <meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Credit: University of Michigan\"\/><br \/>\n    <meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2022-05-17T16:36:25-04:00\"\/><br \/>\n        <meta itemprop=\"embedUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6sN71fx9frk\"\/><br \/>\n    <meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/6sN71fx9frk\/maxresdefault.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>             <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"3D printing algorithm doubles speed and increases cost efficiency\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6sN71fx9frk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><figcaption class=\"text-darken text-low-up mt-4\" itemprop=\"caption\">Credit: University of Michigan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When the research was highlighted with a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a> video, commenters made the market for the solution <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>arent, and Ulendo was born through Innovation Partnerships at U-M. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Members of the 3D printing industry have the same jaw-dropping reaction I had when I first heard about how this <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> results in a printer operating at two times the speed and 10 times the acceleration,&#8221; said Ulendo CEO Brenda Jones.<\/p>\n<p>Okwudire and his team will work on expanding the algorithm to other kinds of machines, including robots, machine tools, and more types of 3D printers. At RAPID + TCT, he will also present on his lab&#8217;s latest technology, SmartScan. This software intelligently moves a laser beam around to prevent warping due to heat buildup in parts printed through powder bed fusion, a technique that melts powder into 3D-printed parts.\n                                                                                                                        <\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                            Smarter 3D printing makes better parts faster\n                                        <\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<div class=\"d-inline-block text-medium my-4\">\n                                                Provided by<br \/>\n                                                                                                    University of Michigan<br \/>\n                                                                                                        <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"icon_open\" href=\"http:\/\/www.umich.edu\/\"><br \/>\n                                                        <svg>\n                                                            <use href=\"https:\/\/techx.b-cdn.net\/tmpl\/v2\/img\/svg\/sprite.svg#icon_open\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\"\/>\n                                                        <\/svg><br \/>\n                                                    <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>                                                 <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 Software that doubles 3D printing speeds hits the market (2022, May 17)<br \/>\n                                                 retrieved 17 May 2022<br \/>\n                                                 from https:\/\/techxplore.com\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2022-05-software-3d.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
