The system design and key technologies of the additive manufacturing intelligent cloud platform are systematically analyzed on the basis of the cloud manufacturing concept. A prototype device has been developed. The paper's key primary research is as follows: Combined with the concept and context of cloud 3D manufacturing, the research status of cloud manufacturing was analyzed, the description and benefits of cloud manufacturing were systematically summarized, the general structure of 3D printing cloud platform services was developed, and the module functions, application methods, and operating mechanisms were introduced. An eight-layer architecture of the cloud platform is proposed based on the functional framework of the 3D printing cloud platform. Several key modules of the online cloud platform are analyzed and clarified, and through a comparative comparison with the conventional 3D printing network platform, the benefits of the 3D printing cloud platform are examined. The 3D printing cloud platform development environment was created, the prototype system data sheet was designed, and the prototype system of the 3D printing cloud platform was developed. The prototype system's key functional modules are evaluated, and the prototype system's functional pages are explained. VIII Finally, the study findings of this article are summarized, and further study work is suggested. 3D printing, as an important part of advanced manufacturing technology, will compensate for the manufacturing needs of complex components in many industries and fulfill the rising customized manufacturing needs of people. The growth of the domestic 3D printing industry is relatively slow due to the lack of a robust service model. Cloud manufacturing is a modern paradigm of intelligent, effective and service-oriented production that has been proposed in recent years.

This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the last decade, several industrialized countries have stressed the importance of advanced manufacturing to their economies. Many of these plans have highlighted the development of additive manufacturing techniques, such as 3D printing which, as of 2018, are still in their infancy. The objective is to develop superior products, produced at lower overall operational costs. For these goals to be realized, a deep understanding of the essential ingredients comprising the materials involved in additive manufacturing is needed. The combination of rigorous material modeling theories, coupled with the dramatic increase of computational power can potentially play a significant role in the analysis, control, and design of many emerging additive manufacturing processes. Specialized materials and the precise design of their properties are key factors in the processes. Specifically, particle-functionalized materials play a central role in this field, in three main regimes: (1) to enhance overall filament-based material properties, by embedding particles within a binder, which is then passed through a heating element and the deposited onto a surface, (2) to “functionalize” inks by adding particles to freely flowing solvents forming a mixture, which is then deposited onto a surface and (3) to directly deposit particles, as dry powders, onto surfaces and then to heat them with a laser, e-beam or other external source, in order to fuse them into place. The goal of these processes is primarily to build surface structures which are extremely difficult to construct using classical manufacturing methods. The objective of this monograph is introduce the readers to basic techniques which can allow them to rapidly develop and analyze particulate-based materials needed in such additive manufacturing processes. This monograph is broken into two main parts: “Continuum Method” (CM) approaches and “Discrete Element Method” (DEM) approaches. The materials associated with methods (1) and (2) are closely related types of continua (particles embedded in a continuous binder) and are treated using continuum approaches. The materials in method (3), which are of a discrete particulate character, are analyzed using discrete element methods.

Download or read book A Cloud based Additive Manufacturing Platform to Support Rapid Product Development written by Yuanbin Wang and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Additive Manufacturing (AM) has experienced rapid development in recent years. As the files 3D Printing requires are in digital formats (STL, CLI, G-code, etc.), location-independent printing services have emerged on the market and become increasingly popular. As a simplified form of cloud manufacturing, functionalities of these existing systems are limited to service retrieving and ordering. To explore the real potential of integration between Cloud Manufacturing and AM, a Cloud-based AM Platform is proposed to support customers throughout their product development processes. In this research, three modules in the platform are the major focuses – cyber-physical 3D printer, knowledge management system and service selection decision support system. Some original contributions have been made. At a high level, a new architecture of a cloud plat-form for AM is designed and a new definition of AM services is created. Several sub-systems are integrated to provide customers with support from design to manufacturing. Firstly, the cyber-physical 3D printer, enabled by Internet of Things, is the key to connecting 3D printers to the cloud, and realizing remote control, monitoring and self-diagnosis. An information model based on OPC-UA is developed and an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is proposed to detect surface defect. Secondly, a Bayesian Network is proposed to model the domain knowledge under uncertainty. A systematic approach is developed from parameter learning, conflict detection, to bi-directional inference. The structure of knowledge model is proposed and two sub-models have been developed. Thirdly, a hybrid Multi-Criteria Decision Making approach is presented to help users select the most suitable printing strategies. There are two important modules - option navigation and ranking. The Design by Shop-ping approach and Analytic Hierarchy Process and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method are integrated to provide an informative decision support system. Due to the special requirements of the dynamic option space, the TOPSIS is modified to improve its stability and accuracy in the proposed system. Finally, the implementation of a prototype system and case study is given to show the functionalities of the platform at different product development stages.
