Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of the present application.

[0015] It should be noted that: similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings. Meanwhile, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0016] Please refer to Figure 1 is a flowchart of a 3D printing system and production management system linkage method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the method comprises:

[0017] S110, interconnect the communication interfaces between the 3D printing system and the production management system.

[0018] Specifically, the 3D printing system is a set of 3D printing software system platform developed by JAVA language or other programming languages. The production management system is a set of software system platform for managing production process, such as material flow, etc. The 3D printing system and the production management system can be installed on the same computer device for use, and users use different accounts to log in. In the embodiments of the present application, the communication interfaces between the 3D printing system and the production management system are interconnected, which can realize smooth data communication, facilitate signal input or output; that is, the user can log in to the production management system through the same account, and then enter the 3D printing system, so as to timely perform 3D printing according to the material demand in the production management system, and work more conveniently.

[0019] S120, update the data files in the 3D printing system according to the material files in the production management system.

[0020] Further, after the 3D printing system and the production management system are communicated and interconnected, the data archives in the 3D printing system are updated synchronously according to the material archives in the production management system. That is to say, since the 3D printing system serves the production management system, the workers record the use and demand of the materials through the production management system, so after the 3D printing system and the production management system are communicated, the data archives in the 3D printing system and the material archives in the production management system need to be synchronized and consistent, so that the demand list initiated by the workers in the production management system can be recognized and effectively executed in the 3D printing system. For example, the material archives in the production management system record resin and polyethylene, and the data archives in the 3D printing system only record resin. When the workers propose a demand for 3D printing of polyethylene in the production management system, the 3D printing system cannot execute the demand for 3D printing of polyethylene because the data archives in the 3D printing system do not have the material.

[0021] S130, according to the data archives in the 3D printing system and the number of the corresponding 3D printer.

[0022] Specifically, first, a local area network printing system is suggested by using multiple 3D printers, and each 3D printer is set with a number rule, such as the number rule can be set as 001-resin, 002-polyethylene, that is to say, the 001 3D printer can perform 3D printing on resin, and the 002 3D printer can perform 3D printing on polyethylene. Further, it is judged whether the materials in the data archives in the 3D printing system are the same as the printable materials of the 3D printers, if they are the same, the corresponding materials and the numbers of the corresponding 3D printers can be associated in the data archives of the 3D printing system. Then, when the 3D printing system receives a 3D printing command, it can start the corresponding 3D printer to perform printing operation and output the required product in time.

[0023] S140, the production management system receives the demand list and pushes the demand list to the 3D printing system, and the 3D printing system controls the corresponding 3D printer to print according to the materials on the demand list.

[0024] Specifically, first, the production management system is set for inventory reminding, such as setting safety inventory reminding and zero inventory reminding. When the staff initiates a demand list in the production management system, the production management system will first determine whether there is inventory on the materials on the demand list, if there is inventory, further determine whether the inventory is greater than the material demand, if the inventory is greater than the material demand, the inventory can be directly used, if the inventory is less than the material demand, the material demand needs to be deducted from the inventory, and then the difference in material demand is pushed to the 3D printing system, and the 3D printing system controls the corresponding numbered 3D printer according to the corresponding material to perform 3D printing in real time to ensure production demand.

[0025] Further, when the 3D printing system executes the demand list, the materials on the demand list will be matched according to the stored data file, if there is, the corresponding 3D printer is controlled to print, if there is not, the demand list is directly returned to the production management system, and the returned demand list may need to be externally purchased or processed by the staff. Further, the 3D printing system will also timely remind according to the storage of materials in the 3D printer, such as a 3D printer storing too little material, a prompt message will be displayed on the page of the 3D printing system or the production management system to remind the staff to replenish the materials in time.

[0026] Therefore, through the above process, the process of directly pushing the purchase demand of equipment and spare parts in the traditional production management system is changed, and through the demand instruction linkage of the 3D printing system and the production management system, a part of the equipment is quickly printed by the 3D printing system, thereby solving the delay of traditional procurement time, improving work efficiency, and further realizing the rapid corresponding equipment and spare parts, on-demand printing, reducing enterprise capital occupation rate, optimizing inventory, effectively utilizing warehouse space and other problems, forming a modular intelligent supply chain system.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 2 The device includes:

[0028] The interconnection module 110 is used for interconnecting the communication interfaces between the 3D printing system and the production management system.

[0029] In the embodiment of the application, S110 can be executed by the interconnection module 110.

[0030] The update module 120 is used for synchronously updating the data file in the 3D printing system according to the material file in the production management system.

[0031] In the embodiment of the present application, S120 can be executed by the updating module 120.

[0032] The association module 130 is configured to associate the data file in the 3D printing system with the number of the corresponding 3D printer.

[0033] In the embodiment of the present application, S130 can be executed by the association module 130.

[0034] The printing module 140 is configured to receive the demand list by the production management system, and push the demand list to the 3D printing system, so that the 3D printing system controls the corresponding 3D printer to print according to the material on the demand list.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, S140 can be executed by the printing module 140.

[0036] Since the 3D printing system and production management system linkage method has been described in detail in the part, it will not be repeated here.

The present application associates the 3D printing system with the production management system and synchronizes the data, and when there is a demand list, the 3D printing system can print the material on the demand list in real time to produce the required parts, which saves the cost and storage space compared with directly purchasing high-value parts and placing them in a specific warehouse for storage.
