This project is the base for Electro Hydro Dynamics (EHD) & Air Focusing Flow (AFF) 3D printer. Electro Hydo Dynamics (EHD) is the study of dynamics of electrically charged fluids and motions of ionized particles or molecules and their interactions with electric fields and the surrounding fluid. In order to study and work on EHD, this is the first phase. Before going to 3D printing or Manufacturing of the components, it's better to test the machine and evaluate its performance in a virtual environment. First, we took food printer and converted into a simple 3D printer. Then we took a high precision Semprex KL-series table to work on the EHD. With our project outlined, we had to choose a design, source the parts, build the printer, and get the printer to work with NI's software and hardware which has not yet been done before. The nozzle and base both are not stationary. The base lies on the XY-axis while the nozzle is fixed on the Z-axis. The LabVIEW has to be designed so that it can integrate MACH3 as well as Slicer with an integration of temperature and pressure control. For this project we are using NI LabVIEW 2016, which is the latest version.M.S., Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics -- Drexel University, 201
