Software Algorithm Developed at University of Michigan Speeds Up 3D Printing

“Recent developments in the Smart and Sustainable Automation Research Lab (S2A Lab) at the University of Michigan College of Engineering might make it easier for 3D printing enthusiasts to answer one of the most commonly asked questions in the industry – “How long does it take to 3D print something?” There’s currently not a good short answer for this question other than, “It depends.”

A main factor for the slow pace of lightweight desktop 3D printers is due to the vibrations caused from the many parts moving throughout. As the print head moves faster, more vibrations are created and ultimately a lower-resolution part is the result. The S2A Lab team developed a filtered b-spline (FBS) algorithm to address the issue of speed…”
