3D printing is projected as the next industrial revolution. Most of the available 3D printers are small scale 3D printers. Current Industrial need is for Large scale 3D Printers to manufacture realistic 3D Printed products effectively with less cost compared to commercial production process and operations. . In this simulation process the mechanism movements in a complex 3D printer design are modeled to determine the displacements and to observe the working mechanism. The Parametric model has been builtwith COMSOL® software and the add-on product, Multibody Dynamics Module. The displacement results and animation are Extracted to visualize the mechanism of the 3D printer.
