From 3-D Printing to 3-D Sprinting

Researchers at the Smart and Sustainable Automation (S2A) Lab at the University of Michigan have developed a method that lets them print twice as fast on a 3-D printer without sacrificing print quality. The method is based on a software algorithm that reduces the disturbing vibrations of the printer. To achieve their goal, the researchers used a dSPACE DS1007 PPC Processor Board and a DS5203 FPGA Board.
