About Project

Check out this cutting-edge Terminal Block Connector Hub prototype, revolutionizing the world of electrical connections through the power of 3D printing. Crafted using state-of-the-art Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology, this TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) hub combines durability, flexibility, and remarkable design.

The prototype showcases a mesmerizing white exterior with a cotton-like surface, offering a tactile experience that's as impressive to touch as it is to behold. As an SLS 3D printed product, it retains its original texture, maintaining an authentic look that stands out from conventionally manufactured connectors.

The Terminal Block Connector Hub features a hollow structure, providing a lightweight and robust solution for organizing electrical connections. With eight strategically positioned holes on the bottom and an additional four on the side faces, it allows for seamless integration and hassle-free installation.

This 3D printed TPU prototype exemplifies the versatility and innovation made possible by additive manufacturing technology. Whether you're an electrical engineer looking for cutting-edge solutions or a tech enthusiast curious about the possibilities of 3D printing, this Terminal Block Connector Hub is sure to captivate your imagination.

Solution

  • Step 1: The TPU material was selected for its durability and flexibility, ideal for electrical connections.
  • Step 2: A CAD model of the Connector Hub was created, ensuring precise dimensions and hole placements.
  • Step 3: The CAD model was converted into a file compatible with SLS 3D printers.
  • Step 4: The SLS 3D printing machine was prepared with a layer of TPU powder spread evenly across the build platform.
  • Step 5: The CAD file was loaded into the printer, and the printing process commenced.
  • Step 6: During printing, a laser selectively fused the TPU powder according to the design, layer by layer.
  • Step 7: As each layer fused, the build platform lowered, making room for the subsequent layers.
  • Step 8: After completing the printing process, the prototype was carefully removed from the excess TPU powder.
  • Step 9: The finished prototype was inspected for quality control, ensuring its adherence to design specifications.
