Abstract
In this research, focusing on inexpensive FDM type 3D printers, we proposed and developed a low cost 6 axis 3D printer to improve the shortage of conventional FDM type 3d printer. The 6-axis 3D printer made it possible to form a higher degree of freedom by rotating the platform of a normal 3-axis 3D printer. In order to investigate the performance and characteristics of a 6-axis 3D printer, a prototype was made. Although it was possible to produce more beautiful models, a new problem occurred due to the printing method of 6 axis 3D printers. It is that the seam between blocks in different lamination directions is too obvious.
