[0137] Input the real-time printing material type and the current time point into the mathematical relationship model to obtain the real-time reference flow rate corresponding to the target nozzle;

[0138] Based on the real-time traffic data and the real-time reference traffic, it is determined whether the target 3D printing device has abnormal printing speed.

[0139] It can be seen that through the above-mentioned optional embodiments, the reference flow rate can be calculated based on the real-time printing material type and the current time point according to the mathematical relationship model corresponding to the target nozzle, and then abnormality judgment can be realized based on the reference flow rate and the real-time flow rate, so that the printing speed of the 3D printing device can be efficiently and accurately monitored and abnormality judgment can be realized, thereby improving the monitoring accuracy and printing stability.

[0140] As an optional embodiment, the specific manner in which the judgment module judges whether the target 3D printing device has an abnormal printing speed based on the real-time traffic data and the real-time reference traffic includes:

[0141] Calculate the flow difference between the real-time flow data and the real-time reference flow;

[0142] Determine whether the flow difference is greater than a preset difference threshold and obtain a determination result;

[0143] When the judgment result is no, it is determined that the target 3D printing device does not have an abnormal printing speed;

[0144] When the judgment result is yes, determine the positive and negative signs of the flow difference;

[0145] According to the positive and negative signs, it is determined that the printing speed problem of the target 3D printing device is printing too fast or too slow.

[0146] It can be seen that through the above optional embodiments, it is possible to determine whether the printing speed of the 3D printing device is abnormal and whether the further abnormality is too fast or too slow based on the judgment between the flow difference between the real-time flow data and the real-time reference flow and the difference threshold. This can achieve efficient and accurate monitoring and abnormal judgment of the printing speed of the 3D printing device, thereby improving monitoring accuracy and printing stability.
