Concept: LEGO MINDSTORMS 3D PRINT3R
Hello!
3D printing is the process of creating a three dimensional object using a computer aided design (CAD). This field has exploded in popularity, so I wanted to bring this device to the LEGO world with the new LEGO MINDSTORMS Inventor Kit.
This robot can 3D print custom LEGO creations, which can pick up pieces from the conveyor belt on the side and build layer by layer to form an object. Using the all new internal absolute positioning (IAP, noted by the dot on the motor side), it allows the MINDSTORMS to have precise movement across all 3 axes, crucial for a 3D printer.
This would be an excellent set to build and code, and has the potential to teach children of all ages the inner-workings of a real 3D printer. I hope you enjoy this model as I did designing it! I believe it would be an excellent robot all ages! Anything is possible with your imagination.
