MakerBot3D打印机虚拟装配系统的设计与实现

目的满足新产品的研发、后期维护以及操作培训等方面的需求。方法选用型号为Makerbot Replicator2的3D打印机为例,通过实际测量在三维建模软件SolidWorks中进行精确建模,之后利用3dsMax进行模型优化,最后导入到VRP完成虚拟装配系统制作。结果该系统能够展示整个3D打印机的内外部结构和装配过程。结论将虚拟装配技术与3D打印机相结合,能够以数字化的形式呈现3D打印机的整体结构和功能,而不必再受客观条件的制约,为工业产品的设计、完善、维护和管理提供了一种崭新的方式,对市场现有的3D打印机具有一定的适用性。

Design and Implementation of MakerBot3D Printer Virtual Assembly System

The work aims to meet the needs of research and development, later-stage maintenance and operation training, etc. of new products. Taking Makerbot Replicator2 3D printer as an example, accurate modeling was done in 3D modeling software SolidWorks through actual measurement. Then, model optimization was conducted in 3ds Max and finally imported into the VRP to complete the fabrication of virtual assembly system. The system could display the internal and external structures and the assembly process of the entire 3D printer. The combination of virtual assembly technology and 3D printer can present the overall structure and function of the 3D printer in digital form, without being restrained by objective conditions. It provides a brand-new solution for the design, improvement, maintenance and management of industrial products, and has certain applicability in the existing 3D printers of the market.
