Abstract: The last decade has seen the demand, miniaturization, and reduction of cost for 3D printing
which has allowed users endless possibilities for rapid engineering prototyping and creation of
unique pieces of art. However 3D printer applications seldom extend beyond creation of three
dimensional objects and are typically limited to users with a strong technical background.
Proposed is a project that extends an off the shelf 3D printer to an application that appeals to an
audience that does not need a strong technical background. Utilizing a camera interface, a
vacuum system, and a microcontroller, a user can control the movement of the proposed 3D
printer to pick up and sort a piece of candy of a specific color.
