Abstract

Rapid prototyping is the present trend in the the field of manufacturing that works on the principle of additive manufacturing. The 3D printing is a form of additive manufacturing technology where a three dimensional object is created by laying down successive layers of material one above the other. Fused Deposition Modeling(FDM) is one of the method of 3D printing where a hot thermoplastic is extruded from a temperature-controlled print head to produce fairly robust objects at a high degree of accuracy. The general setup for the 3D printer requires a computer to be connected continuously to the printer during the printing. My thesis focusses in eliminating this sacrifice of a computer and instead controlling and monitoring the printer remotely using a PC or an android device. The printer uses wireless mode of communication such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
