Preliminary Works at USC for a 6-axis 3D Printer (Video)
Byoeadmin October 22, 2013October 20, 2013

According to 3Ders (http://www.3ders.org/articles/20131006-6-axis-3d-printer.html) this video shows preliminary works for a 6-axis 3D Printer using Parallel Kinematics driven by a KFLOP board Most additive manufacturing processes are layer-based with only three-dimensional motions in the X, Y and Z axes. However, there are drawbacks associated with such limited motions, e.g. non-conformal material properties, stair-stepping effect, and limitations…
