Research Interests
Reprap. Machines with the power to spread exponentially without a unified support or ownership behind them.
Current Projects
- Handing over the 3d-lab at Umeå University through a series of workshops, building one Ormerod and one Reprappro Huxley
- Sourcing and building a Smartrap
- Building another Reprappro Huxley
- Building a Reprap Morgan
- Launched a Reprap blog 27th of January, with updates once a week
Previous Projects, CV style
2015: Feasibility study of resin-based 3D printing in a CDIO environment
More than 10 different low priced resin based 3D printers are hitting the market this autumn (2015). The market is young, and problems are plenty. This report describes a practical procedure to introduce a resin based 3D printer to a CDIO environment (Open Source Hardware lab).
My task was to:
- Write introduction text covering relevant technologies
- Minimize health risks and environmental damage
- Comply with Swedish work environment regulations
- Find practical utilization possibilities within university courses
- Ensure that both beginning and advanced users' preferences are considered
- Design all the needed usage routines
- Suggest a budget
- Suggest a printer
The report suggest putting the resin printer plans on hold because all available resins are very toxic. Suggested 2-year budget: $12,000. Suggested printer: Autodesk Ember. Media:Feasibility_resin_based_printer_Swedish.pdf
The project had it's own pilot study in spring 2015. This report was written in English: Media:Resin_report_pilot.pdf
2013 - 2014: Started Open Source Hardware Lab at the Physics Institution, Umeå University
Involved doing feasibility studies, marked studies, building several RepRaps, funding, purchasing tools, designing procedures, hosting workshops etc. The lab is now a active CDIO environment with ca 10 machines, exlusively Open Source Hardware. The work was unpaid and outside course activities, so I got a custom certificate as proof of work: Media:TL_intyg.pdf
2013: Graph database back end for mobile app
Team work during Accenture Summer Internship. App got 3000 users, but I was not allowed to open source it.
2013: Building a Printrbot+
This led to my initiative to start the 3d-lab at the Physics Institution at Umeå University. The printer is now dismantled, but it was called Sigrid, and is described here.
2013: Arduino-based Inertial Measurement Unit for use as an exercise aid
The unit used an Arduino mini board, an MPU-6050 (accelerometer + gyro) and a Bluetooth antennae together with code from the FreeIMU project. Report (Swedish). Orderer was KriMag Techonology AB
In Media
- Article (Swedish) about the official initiation of the 3d-lab that I founded at Umeå University's physics department.
- Article (Norwegian) about how I sourced and built Reprappro Mendel during summer vacation. Started limited company around it, sold landscape models to local municipality.
