3D Carving Machine
I developed a 3-axis 3D CNC carving machine, which can carve in flower foam (or other Materials like wood) some 3D Model Drawn by the user (with some limitations). I have also written software that will drive the machine. the software allows the user to load standard 3D Model File (.X Format) which contains the 3D Model; the software will then apply some algorithms (Computer Aided Manufacturing Algorithms CAM) to the 3D Model to find a complete 3D path for the carving head (called Toolpath), I have implemented contour parallel and direction parallel CAM algorithms , the computer will send this complete path in a standard form (like GCode) to a Microcontroller connected to it (rabbit 3000), the microcontroller will send commands to 3 stepper motors (one for each axis) and to the head to follow the path and carve the wanted model. * I developed the machine from scratch (by combining old printers to form the structure, connecting the driving circuits on breadboard (and trying different c
About Me
• Ph.D. student at Brown university, currently working on a new way to enhance 3D scanning by explicitly detecting sharp features in the object using a ring of LED lights combined with traditional 3D scanning techniques like laser scanning. • Other areas of interest include 3D Printing, Computer Vision, and Data Visualization. • Over 6 years of professional software development (Web, Desktop, Mobile) using several technologies and languages. • I like to make things I created my own 3D carving machine from scratch. Examples of previous projects: • A new method of photogrammetry 3D scanning. • Integrate 3D Laser Scanning with 3D Printer. • 3D Laser Scanning Simulator. • Upgraded an open source 3D printer to apply my methods. • USB Video Switch. • VisualLife: online visualization of life data. • ArabicPdf: pdf extractor for Arabic language pdf files. • Who is Drawing?: smartphone game for kids. • Chicken War: multiplayer facebook game. • A new method for 2D sketch recognition.
