New 3D printing method allows you to create painted furniture and lamps

Probably, with the help of the proposed method, you can create something else, but so far the engineer Andrei Grishko (an Israeli engineer, it turns out) is using his 3D printing method to create the objects indicated in the header. This is not a standard method of printing on a 3D printer, with the plastic thread melting. Fiberglass is used here. The device, invented by an engineer, wraps fiberglass threads moistened with a special solution around the template blanks. After harvesting, you can pull out, and it turns out an interesting looking object.



It is worth noting that this project is a graduation project of a graduate of a university in Israel. The first prototypes were not even semi-automatic, but "manual." Now the device is fully automated, and to create a strong case, fiberglass thread is used, as mentioned above, which is passed through the glass, which contains glue and dye.

With conventional 3D printers, this device has a lot in common, for example, the machine mechanism has a design similar to that of an inexpensive 3D printer. The dyeing system is very simple - a disposable plastic cup is used for this, a block is immersed in it, and a thread is already being passed through the block. It's simple.



Grishko created his own apparatus, studying some examples from youtube, as well as studying materials from blogs dedicated to 3D printing (especially these resources were useful to him at times when work was stalled due to technical problems).
