MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631031080 A) filed by Asansol Engineering College, Asansol, West Bengal, on March 15, for 'design and implementation of a cost-effective 3d printer using arduino mega and ramps 1.4.'
Inventor(s) include Mr. Anish Deb; Dr. Debashis Sarkar; and Sumanta Karmakar.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a cost-effective, modular three-dimensional printing system utilizing an Arduino Mega microcontroller and a RAMPS 1.4 control shield for additive manufacturing. The system incorporates a multi-axis motion control subsystem using stepper motors and a thermal regulation subsystem for controlled material extrusion. By employing open-source firmware, the apparatus enables precise G-code interpretation, motion planning, and safety features such as thermal runaway protection. The invention facilitates the layer-by-layer fabrication of thermoplastic objects with high dimensional accuracy and reliability. Designed for scalability and customization, the open-architecture framework allows for low-cost implementation in educational, research, and small-scale manufacturing environments, offering a high-performance alternative to proprietary commercial 3D printers."
