The specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] The present invention provides a method for coordinated heating of a hot bed and a nozzle in a 3D printing process, which effectively improves the molding quality and printing efficiency of 3D printed parts by accurately controlling the heating process of the hot bed and the nozzle. The method ensures that the temperature of the substrate and the printing nozzle is coordinated by real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment of the temperature of the substrate and the printing nozzle, thereby improving the fluidity of the printing material and the interlayer bonding performance, and reducing the printing failure rate caused by improper temperature control.

If the actual substrate temperature is detected to be different from T 预设 If there is a deviation, the heating element power is adjusted according to the deviation to ensure T 基板 Reach and maintain T 预设 .
