Algorithms of control parameters selection for automation of FDM 3D printing process

Abstract

The paper presents algorithms of control parameters selection of the Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) technology in case of an open printing solutions environment and 3DGence ONE printer. The following parameters were distinguished: model mesh density, material flow speed, cooling performance, retraction and printing speeds. These parameters are independent in principle printing system, but in fact to a certain degree that results from the selected printing equipment features. This is the first step for automation of the 3D printing process in FDM technology.
