Background

 Print heads are key components for

Layered Manufacturing and 3D printing systems

 Different ink formulations need to be

evaluated

 The process of curing the ink can be

costly

Problem Statement

 Current State  Currently there is no efficient way for Xerox to test new ink formulations  Desired State  A 3D Printing Ink Development test rig using Xerox print heads and drivers to evaluate potential ink formulations  The test rig will utilize a cost-effective UV curing system  The test rig will employ precise 2D and 3D motion control  Deliverables  Fully Functioning Prototype  User Manual  Poster for ImagineRIT  Technical Paper  All Design Documentation

Use Scenario

Customer Requirements

Engineering Requirements Potential Risks

 Slider comes out of calibration when changing direction  Print Head malfunctions/jams up  UV light can be harmful if bystanders are exposed to it  UV lamp does not cure ink correctly  Print head moving in Z axis comes into contact with printed

material and damages print head

 Not enough time when everyone (Team, Guide and Customers)

can meet
