Biomimetic robots borrow their structure, senses and behavior from animals, such as humans or insects, and plants. Biomimetic design is design ofa machine, a robot or a system in engineeringdomain thatmimics operational and/orbehavioral model of a biological system in nature. 3D printing technology has another name as rapid prototyping technology. Currently it is being developed fastly and widely and is applied in many fields like the jewelry, footwear, industrial design, architecture, engineering and construction, automotive, aerospace, dental and medical industry, education, geographic information system, civil engineering, guns. 3D printing technology is able to manufacture complicated, sophisticated details that the traditional processing method cannot manufacture. Therefore, 3D printing technology can be seen as an effective tool in biomimetic, which can accurately simulate most of the biological structure. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a technology of the typical rapid prototyping. The main content of the article is the focusing on tensile strength test of the ABS-Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene material after using Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology, concretization after it’s printed by UP2! 3D printer. The article focuses on two basic features which are Tensile Strength and Determination of flexural properties.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The rapid development of 3D laser scanning and 3D printing technology provides new technologies and ideas for cultural relic protection and reproduction. Aiming at the requirement of equal proportional reproduction of large-scale grottoes, this paper takes the point cloud data of the 18th Cave of Yungang Grottoes obtained by 3D laser scanning as an example, and proposes a data processing and reproduction block partitioning method for equal proportion reproduction. The Cyclone, Geomagic and AutoCAD software were used to construct the 3D model of the grotto, and the 3D printing technology was used to realize the secondary design and model print. Among them, the research focuses on the modeling of massive point clouds and the method of model partitioning based on voxels. It can meet the requirements of movable and assembly while realizing the equal proportional reproduction of the whole grotto. The research results and application can be a good reference for the future grotto reproduction work.</p>

Variable Universe Fuzzy Control

Selective micro heat sintering (SMHS)-type 3D printing technology is a widely applied method in rapid prototyping, which uses an electric heating component to sinter non-metallic powder. It requires precise control of the heating component’s energy and its sintering time. Temperature is one of the key factors that affect the forming quality of fused-type 3D printing technology. Aiming at the nonlinear and time-delay characteristics of temperature control in fused-type 3D printing, a fuzzy control method based on variable universe fuzzy control was studied. This fuzzy control method adopts a set of nonlinear expansion-contraction factors to make the variable universes change with the adaptive error, which can help acquire adaptive temperature adjustment in the rapid prototyping process control. The results of the simulation and experiment showed that the controlled temperature response was faster, the overshoot was smaller, and the stability was better compared to the conventional fuzzy proportion integration differentiation (PID) algorithm after the temperature reached the target temperature. The printed results indicated that the universe fuzzy PID control can effectively improve the accuracy of the workpiece shapes and that the density distribution of the workpiece is increased, which can help improve the forming quality.

The paper presents the application of an unconventional method of manufacturing bearing sleeves as well as the carrying out of preliminary research in which the manufactured components were used on a real object. Additive manufacturing methods are increasingly being used, which leads to the rapid development of technologies and their applications. The MultiJet Printing technology was used in the research, which allows precise 3D printing of sleeves made of polymeric materials. The first part of the article deals with the selected manufacturing method and the preparation of a model. The study aimed at evaluating the usefulness of bearings manufactured using the 3D printing technology to support slow-speed rotors. The preliminary research described focuses on the study of operating parameters such as the moment of friction and the bearing node temperature as a function of rotational speed during operation. Experimental tests were carried out at low rotational speeds. This paper presents and determines the scope of the application of bearings manufactured using 3D printing technology.

Construction Design

An increasing number of designs and subsequent production of parts created by the Rapid prototyping (RP) [1] technology led to a problem with the maximum workspace of the 3D printer. Due to this reason, it was necessary to work on the solution of joining the parts to overcome the limited workspace of the printer. This article is devoted to glue joints analysis of two parts made by RP technology. A great emphasis is given to the load capacity testing of the parts made this way. The measured values than may serve as a lead for the construction design of the outlined joints. The article builds on the knowledge gained during the previous testing of the screw connections of parts made by 3D printing technology [2].

Step Down

With improvements in 3D-printing technology, the ability to convert the idea of an object quickly into an actual 3D object is becoming both more practicable and affordable. We have been developing a 3D-printed gear housing and a detachable sleeve mechanism with a variable number of rotating arms, to facilitate the testing of a variety of fruit y lures while controlling for environmental bias. The speed of the rotator mechanism is controlled using an adjustable DC step-down module and a series of 3D printed gears. Our current prototype runs on four AA batteries delivering 6V. For testing over longer timeframes or in remote areas, just about any power supply outputting between 5 and 40 volts can be attached. The model is small and has optional printed components that make the unit rain proof so it can be used for both laboratory and eld trials. The model can be printed on any 3D printer with a large enough stage. This model can be used to test lure blends for a variety of insects such as ies or beetles, in a variety of settings such as laboratories, pastures, orchards and forests.
