    3D Printer Integrated With Emerging Technologies
    (AIKTC, 2021-05) Motiwala, Nawaz; Akhtar, Tauqueer Ehsan (13ME123); Sayed, Umair Jaffar (17ME79); Kazi, Moazzam Mohammed Hanif (18DME14); Khan, Ali Ahmed Jalil Ahmed (18DME16)
    Industry 4.0 has boosted technological advancements at a very rapid pace and is becoming extremely difficult to keep up with it. 3D Printing, which is also a product of Industry Revolution 4.0 is also gaining rapid momentum in advancements. Such is also the same for the FDM Method on which most 3D Printers work. This project focuses on these enhancements in the traditionally available FDM based 3D Printer and its integration with Augmented Reality (AR) technology. The primary goal is to reduce the time taken to print an object, use of different material, and colors. Also the traditional 3D Printer faces the difficulty of Bed-Leveling[1]. Most 3D Printers available do not provide ease of use, are somewhat costly, less mobile and more complex in construction. Thus, the design, development and making of such a 3D Printer which will remove such impairments and implement a method of ‗Dual-Extruder‘ and Auto-Bed Leveling based FDM 3D Printer is discussed. Addition of another extruder and a sensor which can automatically level the bed solves the aforementioned problems of the 3D Printer. To provide ease of understanding and working of a 3D Printer, implementation of Marker-based AR Technology to depict the 3D Printer is implemented which is in compliance with Industry 4.0.[2] Additionally, emerging technologies such as ChatBot AI, Wireless Printing, Touch-based interaction system to make things easier for the user to understand and work out with the 3D Printer can also implemented. The following report contains a detailed explanation of the work done. The initial chapters discuss the need of this project, its history, available literature surveys carried out, available design and methods of 3D Printing. Next chapters deals with the depiction and explanation of a FDM based 3D Printer, its methodology, uses and its merits over other available methods. Further chapters deal with the components used, their specifications, designing procedure and fabrication. Finally the cost report, results and conclusion is stated in the remaining chapters.
