Selective Laser Sintering Printer
Project Specifications
Brief description: Modelled a 2-DOF selective laser sintering printer system in Simulink and then designed and implemented a PID controller.
Languages: MATLAB
Software: MATLAB, Simulink
Documentation: See the SLS Printer Slides Part 1 and 2 for a full project description.
Slides Part 1 Overview: slides
Explains how the models of the dynamics of the robotic 2-DOF wrist were computed. The dynamics of the robotic wrist includes all electronics, motors and mechanisms of the wrist.
Slides Part 2 Overview: slides
Explains how the best motors for each joint in the system were selected. Then, the design and implementation of a PID controller for the system to minimize build error without burning any motors is explained.
