[0002] 3D printing technology can form parts with complex shapes at low cost and high efficiency, and is widely used in aerospace, automotive manufacturing and biomedicine. Commonly used additive manufacturing technologies include photopolymerization, material extrusion molding, powder coating, material jetting, lamination, powder bed fusion, and direct energy deposition. Among these additive manufacturing technologies, fused deposition modeling or filament fabrication forms objects by melting and extruding thermoplastic materials and stacking them layer by layer. Due to its simple structure, low cost, low difficulty of use and high degree of printing freedom, it suffers from insufficient co-extrusion control precision and internal temperature imbalance during actual operation, which affects the co-extrusion mixing of materials and thus fails to meet the application requirements.
