描述了使用低成本开源3D打印机制造圆极化天线。该工艺将两种流行的增材制造（AM）技术结合到一台机器中。为了做到这一点，熔融沉积成型（FDM）打印机已经被适配成容纳气动分配器。FDM挤出机和分配器都使用相同的软件进行控制。FDM技术是可用于打印塑料的最常见的3D打印工艺。这个过程用于制造基板，而连接的分配器打印出形成GPS天线顶部贴片的金属层。该项目的目的是证明廉价的开源机器可以作为天线3D打印的替代品。
The fabrication of a circularly polarized antenna using a low-cost open-source 3D printer is described. The process comprises the combination of two popular additive manufacturing (AM) techniques into one single machine. In order to do this, a fused deposition modelling (FDM) printer has been adapted to accommodate a pneumatic dispenser. Both the FDM extruder and the dispenser are controlled using the same software. The FDM technique is the most common 3D printing process available to print plastics. This process is used to fabricate the substrate, while the connected dispenser prints out the metallic layers that form the top patch of the GPS antenna. The aim of the project is to demonstrate that inexpensive open-source machines can be used as an alternative for the 3D printing of antennas.
