AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing additive manufacturing systems are inefficient as they require all objects to be manufactured before starting a process, leading to reduced packing density and quality issues when additional objects are added during an ongoing process.

Method used

A computer-aided method for dynamically assigning objects to be manufactured to additive manufacturing devices, allowing for the automatic selection of a target device based on status and property parameters, enabling the addition of new objects without interrupting ongoing processes and optimizing packing density.

Benefits of technology

This approach reduces manufacturing costs, minimizes downtime, and ensures high packing density and efficient material use by allowing continuous production without waiting for a batch of objects, thereby improving overall production efficiency.

Abstract

The invention relates to a computer-assisted method for controlling a plurality of additive manufacturing devices, said method comprising the following steps: receiving a number of first computer-based data models, each of which geometrically describes a first object to be manufactured by means of an additive manufacturing device; receiving state data and / or property parameters of a plurality of additive manufacturing devices, each of which is allocated to at least one second computer-based data model of a second object to be manufactured in the additive manufacturing device; transmitting at least one first computer-based data model to a target manufacturing device, that is selected from the plurality of additive manufacturing devices, in order to manufacture the first object, that is described by the first computer-based data model, by means of the target manufacturing device, wherein the target manufacturing device to which the at least one first computer-based data model is transmitted is selected based on a rule-based automatic decision in which the received state data and / or property parameters are taken into consideration.
