3D printer control system for supporting user side

Abstract

The invention relates to a 3D printer control system for supporting a user side. The system comprises the user side, a cloud side server and a 3D printer for supporting cloud service, the user side, the cloud side server and the 3D printer interact with one another through the Internet, the user side comprises a model setter, a slice editor and a local slice generator, the model setter selects a to-be-printed 3D model, and the slice editor sets a slice strategy, and calculates the number of nodes and sections, and if the number of the nodes or the sections is lower than a set numerical value, the local slice generator generates a local 3D print text and a slice preview; the cloud side server comprises a 3D model library and a cloud side slice generator, if the number of the nodes or the sections is higher than the set numerical value, the user side uploads the slice strategy, the cloud side slice generator generates a cloud side 3D print text according to the slice strategy, and the user side downloads the cloud side 3D print text and afterwards generates a slice preview; the 3D printer receives the 3D print texts and afterwards conducts 3D printing work. According to the 3D printer control system for supporting the user side, remote manipulation of the 3D printer is achieved, and the system is adaptive to 3D printers of various types.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of 3D printing, in particular to a 3D printer control system supporting a user terminal. Background technique [0002] Nowadays, 3D printing technology is gradually changing people's way of life. It can print various items that meet people's needs. 3D printing technology has a wide range of applications. It can be used in the medical industry, scientific research, product models, architectural design, manufacturing and Food, etc., have broad prospects. However, the use and operation of traditional 3D printing and its control system is very difficult, requiring users to have certain professional knowledge, which is the main obstacle to the popularization of 3D printing technology. [0003] However, all 3D printers on the market process stl format model files through PCs or proprietary hardware devices, set slicing strategies, generate G-codes, and then transfer G-codes to 3D printers through PCs directly connected to ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

There are many 3D printer models on the market, and these hardware can only be adapted to a small part of the 3D printers with a relatively simple structure. It is impossible to store all the 3D printer setting parameters in each PC or hardware device, so this method leads to 3D printers. Due to the limited use of the printer, and the long working hours of the 3D printer, the user needs to monitor it at any time to deal with the situation where an emergency stop is required during the printing process
