Electrophotographic Solid Freeform Fabrication

Abstract

Research at the University of Florida on Electrophotographic Free form Fabrication is presented. In this fabrication technique, powder is picked up and deposited using a charged surface. Powder is deposited layer-by-layer to build parts. A test bed was designed and constructed to study this approach to solid freeform fabrication. Methods for charging and depositing powders using a photoconductor drum is being studied. Preliminary results obtained using this test bed are presented.
