Abstract

For the past decade, the rapid prototype market possesses a lot of changes and growth. Low end machines were responsible for the majority of the rapid prototype market growth in recent years. The purpose of the project explained in this report should be to assess, match up and evaluate a few thing about the mechanical properties for the low cost machines which are MendelMax and Kossel on the market today. A benchmarking research was performed to determine the performance for each platform by evaluating its capability to produce a complicated benchmark portion which is designed specifically for this study such as up-stand features and slots. The design was created by CATIA software which will be converted into STL file format. The results show clearly that the performance of the 3-D printer is depending on a certain criteria which are layer thickness and infill density in order to get a better profile.
