Three-dimensional (3D) printers have gained popularity for use for many different projects. The work presented herein aims to make this process simpler. This paper discusses a system that will allow individuals from across campus to submit object files for printing by a 3D printer, without having to schedule appointment and manually operate it.
Logistical requirements dictate some level of human involvement, despite a goal of creating a fully automated system. Involvement areas include converting /preparing submitted files, sending the job to the printer, print tray preparation, and completed object removal. From a user’s perspective, however a seamless experience is anticipated. …

The OpenOrbiter program is developing a complete set of CubeSat hardware and software to facilitate the development of a 1-U CubeSat (10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm, 1.33 kg spacecraft) with a parts cost of less than $5,000. This poster covers the electrical power system (EPS) for that spacecraft. The EPS is an assemblage of components that supplies all spacecraft subsystems with power, while performing health assessment of the battery and electrical buses. The EPS has a crucial role in the spacecraft and thus has to be developed and tested with extreme care.
The EPS generates power using …

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is being used for numerous applications: from consumer hobbies to the development of aircraft parts. However, inexpensive 3D printers have been constrained in material selection to plastic. These printer use the fused deposition modeling (FDM) method of printing, which is a relatively new technology that utilizes computer numerical control (CNC) techniques to deposit melted material at specific places. Other methods, for example, include laser sintering and stereolithography. With 3D printing, layers are stacked upon each other and via this compilation of layers, a 3D object is formed. Currently there are a variety of materials that can be …
