This project is to make the 3D printer more suitable for different environments and expand printer capabilities to the level of adding material to partly manufactured parts. For this project, we use Lidar and Realsense to collect the environment and surface information. Raspberry Pi is the "brain". It is used to host navigation software as well as interface with the Duet3 printer controller and also controls the Arduino microcontroller as well as takes input from the RealSense and Lidar. Moreover, the touch sensor is used for the calibration of the printer head, and the accelerometer provides data to help the robot know how to auto-stabilize. The accompaniments of the project are that the robot can fully remotely move and be mobile for keeping the printer stationary, and also the error from the target location is up to 3 centimeters. During our project, we overcame the coordination between teams due to the project being interdisciplinary, lack of test benches, and accuracy constraints. For future Improvement, the robot's accuracy could be improved, and using more light material to reduce the weight of the robot.
