Abstract

This contribution reviews the execution of an open source hardware (OSHW) project as part of the Master in Mechatronics Degree Programme at the University of Southern Denmark. There were a number of reasons that motivated us to carry out this project; educational, intellectual and research reasons. Open source projects provide unique opportunities for students to gain experience solving real-world problems. There was also a research consideration in pursuing an OSHW project. Three of the authors of this contribution are working towards a Master's Degree in Innovation and Business and wanted to carry out an OSHW project as a precursor to doing research work on the ‘Commercialization of OSHW Projects’. The choice of the project was all important and we choose to build a 3-D printer using information provided by the RepRap Open Source Community because this satisfied nearly all our specifications for an OSHW project. Our experiences in constructing a 3-D printer as well as documenting the areas where the open source information currently has deficiencies are documented here.

一个开源的基于硬件的机电一体化项目:复制快速3d打印机

这篇文章回顾了一个开源硬件(OSHW)项目的执行情况，该项目是南丹麦大学机电一体化硕士学位课程的一部分。有很多原因促使我们开展这个项目;教育、智力和研究方面的原因。开源项目为学生提供了独特的机会来获得解决现实问题的经验。在进行职业安全和卫生项目时也有一个研究考虑。这篇文章的三位作者正在攻读创新和商业硕士学位，他们希望开展一个职业健康福利项目，作为“职业健康福利项目商业化”研究工作的先驱。项目的选择非常重要，我们选择使用RepRap开源社区提供的信息来构建一个3d打印机，因为它几乎满足了我们对OSHW项目的所有规范。我们在构建3d打印机方面的经验，以及对开源信息目前存在缺陷的地方进行了记录。
