The proposed research project is a partnership between researchers at the University of British Columbia, underthe leadership of Dr. Keekyoung Kim, and engineers at 3D Currax Solutions Inc. in Kelowna, BC.The proposed research project will develop a new building plate to permanently fix a film between the printedpart and the building plate. The new building plate with different fixing mechanisms will be designed,fabricated and tested. Such mechanisms include stretching and screwing, smart clamping, and specialty gluing.The best films and fixing mechanism will be combined for finding maximum printable weight and size.The 3D printing system being developed by 3D Currax will be capable of the first true mass-production, whichcan potentially replace the conventional injection molding system and reduce the development time and cost ofproducts.
