Tiivistelmä
The aim of this thesis was to develop a process for introducing an innovative automatic replacement and mechanism system (i.e., an additional automatic tool changing mechanism) for changing the filament extruder nozzle of the MHI3D printer, so that it can be quickly and easily replaced at any time. This thesis was commissioned by Mehta Heino Industries Oy located in Otaniemi,Espoo.
This system’s housing is located on the printing machine’s cabinet inner side wall with a specific number of hot end units ready to be selected as required. These units have nozzles of different size diameters, for example, 0.4 mm, 0.35 mm which can be selected if and when required before or during each operation. The idea is to develop this automatic process for next version of the MHI3D Printer.
As expected, the g-code will be programmed to command the extruder head to move to the replacement mechanism housing and deposit and/or select the required nozzles as is needed for creating the 3D printed model.
As a result of creating this thesis, an automatic tool changing system for MHI3D printer has been developed.
