This week the team presented at FDR with our final prototype! Prior to FDR the team has been busy re-printing our housing, completing lots of prints with our intended dough/frosting combo, and finalizing our slide deck and final deliverables. On… Read More

As the countdown to the final week before FDR begins, the team has been diligently putting the finishing touches on the prototype to ensure it’s fully prepared for the ultimate presentation and demonstration! This involves several tasks, such as extending… Read More

This week we are in the final stretch of our prototype development and trying to make as much progress as possible before the end of the project and preparing for FDR. This week we spent time exploring component selections and… Read More

This week- we had a great Spring PID for Team 3Delish. Ian and Lucas were definitely happy about it (see below)! Thank you to all of the amazing judges for the feedback, we are excited to implement them and finish… Read More

This week, the team made an incredible breakthrough: a multi-material print! A very simple treat of carrot paste and buttercream frosting composed the layers of this new print. See Brittney and Caylynne below after triumphing. After some delay due to… Read More

Updates after Week 9’s setbacks: The new motherboard has been received and wired up, but it’s slightly different from our previous board and we’re having difficulties flashing the hardware to fit to our current printer set-up. A new version of… Read More

This week the team began working on creating our outline for the Final Design Report(FDR). The team prepared a brief outline on the various volumes that go into FDR including our process documentation, test procedures and results, and a video… Read More

This week the team presented at QRB2 with major progress in our printing prototype! Our presentation focused on the milestones that the team has accomplished with G-code controlled motor movement via the motherboard install, extrusion with the non-captive stepper motors,… Read More

This week we all pulled together to get ourselves ready for QRB and make as much progress as possible to present to the review board. Printing Caylynne and Brittney made some great progress in getting the printer to produce actual… Read More

Another amazing week of progress for Team 3DELISH as QRB#2 nears! You probably know the drill by now but let’s take a look at what each subteam has been up to this week. Mechanical This week’s focus for Caylynne and… Read More

This week, 3Delish is coming off of last week’s QRB hot and ready to get more of the prototype working. Each of the different main teams have been working diligently to further integrate all the different components of the project.… Read More

3Delish met with our Quality Review Board (QRB) – the first one of two – on Tuesday! Three IPPD coaches provided their assessments and suggestions on the current state of our project. We received plenty of helpful feedback that we’ll… Read More

Significant progress this week on all three subsystems/subteams: mechanical, electrical, and materials. First, on the mechanical side- Caylynne and Brittney have been focusing on the extrusion module with focus on choosing optimal Nema motors for best extrusion performance. With three… Read More

This week the build progress is heating up as we focus on integrating our PID Controller with the heating/cooling elements for the print bed and chambers. Andrew successfully configured the circuit to work with the TEC element. However, as the… Read More

Welcome back to a new Semester! We started off strong before classes even began, working on testing materials and gathering data using an Instron machine to get some force and pressure data to inform our decision making. A few of… Read More
