AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing extrusion-based additive manufacturing methods are inefficient for printing three-dimensional structures, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production and increase printing output.

Method used

The system configuration employs multiple printing stations and robot units, combined with station controllers and system controllers, to achieve parallel operation and independent control of multiple printing stations. The robot units are responsible for the removal, replacement, and interaction of the carrier units, while the system controller coordinates the execution of printing tasks.

Benefits of technology

It improves the printing efficiency and quality of 3D structures, enables the simultaneous printing of multiple 3D structures, and achieves continuity and flexibility in the printing process, adapting to the needs of different materials and geometries.

Abstract

A system and method for manufacturing three-dimensional structures are provided. The system includes multiple printing stations and a robotic unit configured to interact with the multiple printing stations, each of which is accessible by the robotic unit. Each printing station includes a station controller for controlling at least one deposition control parameter. The system also includes a system controller configured to operate the robotic unit, wherein the system controller is communicatively coupled to the multiple printing stations for controlling at least the execution of printing tasks performed at the multiple printing stations. The station controller is at least partially controlled by the system controller, wherein the system controller is configured to allow at least one deposition control parameter of each printing station to be adjusted independently of the deposition control parameters of the other printing stations within the multiple printing stations.
