In this project work, Design and development of Cart esian co-ordinate based 3D printer is done for the manufacturing of sample parts by using Fused Deposi tion Modeling (FDM) process. The Fused Deposition Mod eling is an advanced manufacturing process uses the thermopl astics, ABS, Poly Vinyl Alcohol (PVA), polycarbonate (PC) , PLA (Poly Lactic Acid) and ULTEM 9085. PLA (Poly Lactic Acid) is used as the filament in this project for 3D printing of Mechanical parts and also the above mentioned raw f ilaments can be used. The parts are modeled in the CATIA V5 R20 software and it is converted into STL (Stereo lithog raphy) file. By using CURA software the STL file is co nverted into Gcodes and then it is sent to PRONTERFACE software which is the interface software between the computer and the Cartesian coordinate based 3D printer. The PRONTERFACE sof tware sends the instructions (i.e. G-codes) to the Cartesian coordinate based 3D printer and the requir ed physical parts can be printed.
