This is my first project relating to open source technology. I am working in the MOST Research Group to fabricate a 3-D printable polypropylene-glass composite. Recycled materials in the form if granulated polypropylene and powdered soda-lime glass are used for this project to improve sustainability. The goal is to be able to improve the mechanical properties and dimensional qualities of 3-D printed composite parts compared to those of neat (pure) polypropylene. Tensile bars of 0-50 weight percent glass (in increments of 10% glass) are being 3-D printed on a Lulzbot TAZ6 for initial mechanical testing. This project is also my first experience with 3-D printing and I am very much enjoying it. My research with this continues for the summer term, funded by a SURF fellowship. | This is my first project relating to open source technology.
