设计和技术倡议diyouware., set up by two brothers in Spain, is working on a new 3D printing technique named Resin Deposition Modelling (RDM). The technology essentially merges SLA 3D printing with the commonly used FDM process, adding new design possibilities to the process.
Do-it-yourself-ware
diyouware的名称代表“做你自己的东西” which is a testament to the group’s aims. The two brothers, based in Madrid, set up the company to design “open-source, low-cost, easy to manufacture robotic tools which help people all over the world to build industrial quality things at home and by themselves。“
树脂沉积建模
对于原型3D打印机，Diyouware使用分配器和针来沉积UV可固化树脂并用激光二极管固化材料。
Since the technique aims to combine an FDM method of depositing material layer-by-layer and an SLA method of curing resin, Diyouware has referred to the process as RDM.然而，随着RDM使用激光而不是光，他们指出“thecorrect term could be UV Resin Laser Deposition Modelling, but is too long and Laser Deposition Modelling has been already used.”
创建3D结构
目前，该货币对使用0.25毫米ID针，但相信有空间使用较小的针尺寸以进一步提高细节。这是因为它们使用的树脂不是非常粘稠的树脂，因此不需要从厚的针点挤出。diyouware.uses a DLP resin developed by Italian company Robotfactory, who manufacture SLA and FDM 3D printers.
To cure the resin immediately, the machine houses a 100mw/405nm laser diode beamwhich is able to follow the needle directly as it prints. This element is essential to create 3D structures as the resin needs to harden quickly to allow the next layer to form on top of it. The due have not yet released any phots of objects 3D printed on the machine.
Maker community
Diyouware团队在业余时间开发这些机器，但他们的创新展示了制造商社区的力量。当3D印刷行业拿走时，这是显而易见的近乎看看Fab城市概念在西班牙市巴塞罗那.
制造商社区的其他地方重造MottiStorbjørnLudvigsen以刽子手的形式类似地制作了自己的3D打印机。We interviewed Ludvigsen about his creation他3D打印了4.5米高的巴巴塔之后。
What’s next for Diyouware
尚不清楚Diyouware的未来，但他们确实说，
It is just a prototype. We developed the mechanics, electronics and firmware for the toolhead, and now we are conducting some testing. The first results are promising, but there is still too much work ahead, and as you know the devil is in the details.
