Seminar: Camera-based PCB Analysis for Solder Paste Dispensing
The lectures during my last semester were largely focused on digital image processing. Combining this with the inspiration for 3D printing, I gathered through my trip though South Korea, resulted in the following seminar paper. Seminars are a compulsory part of our curriculum which I like due the self-contained work and the ability to pick an individual topic.
Over the past year, I’ve built my own Kossel 3D printer. The Mini Kossel is based on a novel parallel delta kinematic which was developed by Johann C. Rocholl, a Google engineer from Germany.
This paper is targeting the automation of solder paste dispensing onto printed circuit boards by using computer vision and RepRap robots.
