G-Code Basics
An important piece of 3D Printing technology is the instructions that make them replicate a desired model – those instructions are G-Code!
3D Printing Mechanisms
Each 3D Printer is slightly different, but in terms of FDM printers, most of the core components are the same. Of course once we get into different or Novel deposition methods, things can get different. Let’s take a look at some of the core mechanisms for the big 3 of 3D Printing (FDM, SLA, SLS).
Common 3D Printer Electronics
In this section I discuss some of the common components found in 3D Printers

FDM Considerations
In this section I go over some of the key mechanical considerations you should take into account when conceiving of a part you’d like to 3D Print.
General design procedure for free and open-source hardware for scientific equipment
A discussion of the key points you should consider when creating a piece of open source hardware.
FreeCAD Resources
I’m not a FreeCAD Expert – but I realize that OpenSCAD isn’t for everyone. So I’ve put together a collection of some decent FreeCAD resources.
Getting Started with OpenSCAD
The concept behind OpenSCAD is that your 3D model is defined as a script. That’s actually what the S stands for in OpenSCAD: Open Scriptable Computer Aided Design. By using basic shapes and transformations, you can design all sorts of neat stuff.

Key Events in Open-Source Additive Manufacturing
Introduction The RepRap Project In 2009, Dr. Adrian Bowyer and his students published “RepRap – The Replicating Rapid Prototyper.” which detailed an Open Source, unpatended, FDM 3D Printer with plans made freely available. By no coincidence, Scott Crump’s patent on FDM expired in 2009. The manuscript is an interesting read, especially some of the backing […]
