Development of an Algorithm for Adaptive Control of the FDM Printer Printing Process

The specificity of the tasks assigned to 3D printers leads to the fact that the cost of each manufactured part, as well as the entire final product as a whole, largely depends on the level of debugging of the printing process. Today, FDM printing is characterized by the occurrence of both system and random deviations in the shape of the manufactured parts, which leads to a loss of time, production resources and rejection of the manufactured part. Manufacturing enterprises are interested in increasing the cost-effectiveness of manufacturing parts by printing. Solving the problem of increasing repeatability by introducing an adaptive system for controlling the printing process will reduce the production time of products, eliminate the participation of personnel in the manufacturing process of the part and reduce the cost of production of products. The work presents the algorithm of operation of the adaptive system for automated control of the process of printing parts on printers equipped with an optical production control system.
