Bata wanted to upgrade & fastrack their design and development facility to reduce the approval cycle. The D&D facility is located in Kolkata.S.NO PARAMETERS

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

1 Speed of Printing

2 Speed of head movement

3 Time Required for Printing

4 Weight of the Printer

5 Power Requirments

6 Size of the printer

7 Accuarcy of printers (in microns)

8 Support Materials used for printing

Description Of Parameters

This factor is dependent upon the speed of head movement and thus ranks a bit lower than the head movement

This parameter is essential for determining the quality of the printed material and the time taken to print it.

The next essesntial parameter is the time for printing, because it one of the most important parameter for production

When a company needs to set-up a 3D printing technology, the weight doesn't play much imp role

When compared with the weight the size still plays an imp role because it needs to be judged when determining the space in the production facility

This factor is important because this also determines the quality of the product to be made

Because the technology is evolving on daily basis, this faactor is important because adaptation to different filling material is a must for the producer

9 Frequent maintanance

10 Compatibility with the softwares available in the market

11

12 Internal Storage memory available

13 Facility to insert SD card

14 USB enabled printing

15 Environent needed for smooth functioning

16 LCD interface support

17 Ease of resolutution selection for X axis

18 Ease of resolutution selection for Y axis Similar context for y axis

Maintanance needs to be done to ensure better productivity and thus the weightage is equally essential

S/W compatibility is essential factor because if the purchased printer works with open source s/w or comes with its own s/w, extra cost gets saved.

Compatibility with the PC (of minimum requirement as specified in the country)

Does it serve the minimum requirement of a 3GB RAM processor and OS of Windows XP or others

Internal memory is one of the important factors to be considered but because insertion of external storage system ranks higher

Facility to provide an external storage to the printer (for longer productive time)

Direct printing(of .stl), from an external device, this feature is essential because it helps to print directly

This Is important for direct and on the spot printing from the terminal itself

Can the operator be able to set the X axis of the print and calliberate the platform based upon it, the ease with which it calliberates the axis, the more the points in secures

19 Ease of resolutution selection for Z axis

20 Amount of Services needed in a year

21 Free Service given by the Vendor

22 Tenure of maintanance given by the vendor

23 Warranty period of the printer

24 Guarentee of different parts in the printer

25 After warranty Support

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

26 User friendly interface27 Compatibility with any 3D printer

28 Licensed software/Open Source

29 Ease of designing

30 Ease of Callibirating the platform

Similar context for Z axis, except this feature is available in less printers but is essential for giving a smooth finish to the printed article

How many maintenanace it needs in one whole year, less service needed, gets more points

This feature is not so important to be considered once the product is installed

This ranks a bit higher than the free servuce provision

This feature is not so important to be considered once the product is installed

Providing facility once the warranty expires is a liitle more important

Description Of Parameters

Whether the software needs to be purchased or is available free, we have given prefernece to free software with better features

This is one of the most important feature for software installment

31 Better visualization of the design made

32 Conversion of different formats to .stl

33 Tutoring help available This feature is not so important

34 Minimizes cost of Sample making

35 Training provision This feature is not so important

36 Renewal cost of Licensing This feature is not so important

Design visualization gets easier omce callibration gets fulfilled, so callibration lies a bit higher in rank than the visualization

How many extensions can it convert to the compatible extension, more points are alloted to those with better conversion support

This is one of the most important feature for software installment

The observations for the 3D printer and the softwares to be used are as follows: While the best software for implementing in the startup is Adobe's Crispin Shoemaker and the machine most apt is Zortrax M200. If Bata wants to install a facility for conductin R&D, it should go for these two variants to

reduce the approval cycle and fastrack their design and development facility.
