Algorithms for building products using 3D printing with cable-suspended robot

Abstract

The article presents algorithms for the control of a robotic complex for building products using 3D printing, including a module for the main movements and a module for precise movements based on a robot with a cable drive. The description of software modules for the implementation of algorithms and the technology of printing with the use of a printing module and a control unit for the supply of printing material are described. The basic principles of the operation of the program modules and the program interface are considered. There is a detailed selection of 3D print settings in the developed software module such as layer height, type of filling of the model with printing material, printing of supports, etc. Recommendations are given on the optimal choice of these settings to achieve the required quality of the obtained product models. The results of modeling are presented.
