Custom Large-Format 3D Printer – Mechanical Design & Manufacturing

Custom large-format 3D printer designed and manufactured from concept to a fully functional machine. The project involved the complete mechanical development of the printer, including CAD modeling, structural design, motion systems, component integration, assembly, and manufacturing. The machine was designed with a 1500 × 1000 mm heated build platform and 500 mm Z-axis printing capacity. The development process included: • Parametric 3D CAD design and mechanical assemblies • Structural frame and motion system design • Custom mechanical components and mounting solutions • Integration of motors, linear motion components and extrusion system • Manufacturing and assembly of the complete machine • Testing, mechanical adjustments and design improvements • Design for maintenance and real-world operation This project was not only a CAD concept: the machine was physically manufactured, assembled, tested and operated successfully. The project demonstrates my experience in mechanical CAD, custom machine design, large-format 3D printing systems, prototyping, manufacturing and practical problem solving.
