Abstract – 3d printing is a process of developing a threedimensional solid object from a software design. 3d Printing is an additive manufacturing process which is growing rapidly now days as it has the potential to alter the manufacturing industry. Any type of complex part can be developed using a 3d printer which makes this technology more superior and accurate than traditional machines. This research mainly highlights design and fabrication of a low-cost delta 3d printer, besides this the testing result of standard samples printed using 3d printer are also shown graphically so in order to get optimum operational parameters which are desirable for good quality and better surface finish of printed parts. At last, a comparison is also provided graphically between the fabricated delta printer and a readily available printer.
2. LITERATURE STUDY 1)Design and fabrication of delta type 3d printer, school of Mechanical engineering, REVA university, Bengaluru. 3d printers are available in various configurations, but Cartesian and delta configurations are most commonly used one in industries. This paper also discusses the design and fabrication of a delta FDM printer. 3d printer has wide application in the field of aerospace, biomedical, automotive and many others. In order to make a product one has to first make a 3d model of the object in modeling software and then the 3d model is passed to the slicing software after converting into STL extension so that the tool path can be generated and the product can be printed. Post processing is also done on printed parts to get better appearance and surface finishing. A 3d printer is made of a variety of parts, this paper has briefly explained the functions of all the main parts which are essential for building a 3d printer, and besides this the processes that the parts will undergo are also mentioned in it. At last, the designing section shows the various views of the proposed delta 3d printer along with a bill of material.

Industry 4.0 introduces, what has been called the 'smart manufacturing' process. The essential components or framework of Industry 4.0 comprise: Big data, Model Simulation, Cloud Technology, Augmented Reality, 3D Printers / Additive Manufacturing, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Artificial Intelligence, Autonomous Robots and Cyber security. 3D printers are a vital part of Industry 4.0. Various 3D printing technologies are employed all over the world and for different purposes and fields such as Industry, Automotive, Healthcare, Environment, etc.
2) Investigation of delta robot 3d printer for a good quality of printing, Dept. of industrial design, Ming Chi University of technology, New Taipei city 3d printing is one of the most versatile and revolutionary techniques to create 3d objects with unique structure and diverse properties. The growth of open source 3d printers has increased by a great amount. Kossel Mini, Rostock and Prusa i3 are the most commonly used open-source printers. A delta printer can easily be created at low cost. However, the quality of the printed parts is dependent on a series of calibrations. The calibrations include defining the dimensions of frame, configuring firmware and setting the building parameters. So, this paper summarized how an open source 3d printer can be calibrated so that it can function appropriately and as per the requirement. By proper calibration the printing quality, surface finishing and accuracy can be increased greatly and the chances of failure can be reduced to the minimum amount.
3D printing is also called additive manufacturing and it is a process of making three dimensional objects from a CAD file. The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the object is created. Fused deposition modeling (FDM) also known as fused filament fabrication (FFF) is a 3D printing process that uses a continuous filament of a thermoplastic material. Filament is fed from a large spool to a hot end through extruder mechanism, and the melted material gets deposited on a bed to form a product. Overall, FDM is the most common process used in 3d printers in different sectors.
