3DP Applications

3D打印的微岩爬虫

本周,我们已经去过不自然的混合月亮的黑暗面3D打印的机器人蜘蛛,但是如今,无人机的世界世界为我们带来了一个更传统的例子,更具体地讲述了如何以一种令人惊奇的方式将电子设备和微型车辆聚集在一起。该项目是3DP-slash-Robotics爱好者吉姆·弗莱(Jim Frye)的创意CTM项目, is called simply the3D-Printed Micro R/C Crawler这确实是一个令人惊讶的创造。

Things kicked off when Jim Frye wanted to build a micro r/c vehicle with 3D printed parts. Jim then contacted CTM Projects to get some help with the 3D modelling work, which was done with SolidWorks as well as some preliminary operative simulation such as what would be the limitations of the suspension in the actual 3D printed versio . Below you can see one of the image renderings of what the final micro-vehicle was to look like.

Once the design work was finished with the software, the team moved to some real-world testing as Jim Frye got himself a 3D printer to get the job done. Below are two photos of the first prints – the chassis and some other parts.

测试零件后,该项目的下一阶段显然包括内部的微型汽车的心脏,并开始在R/C汽车的自然(微型)地形中进行测试。这是现实世界中底盘和结构测试的图像。

言语和静止图像是一回事,但是由于缺乏现场体验的可能性,没有什么真正胜过视频了。因此,您绝对应该观看此显示最终确定的R/C模型(称为Spectre)的行动:

如果您已经在屏幕上扔了钱,那么在此阶段,不幸的消息是商业化/分销方面尚未由Creator Frye决定。但是,统一的基于网络的同伴压力阵线无疑会指导他朝正确的方向指导 - 即要么出售设计,已经是3D打印的捆绑包,甚至可以在整个3DP和Micro--的开源论坛中共享设计汽车爱好者世界享受 - 或至少冰岛人,他们似乎已经非常喜欢更大,全尺寸的兄弟姐妹的微型摇滚乐手。
