From Design to Manufacturing Based on Additive Manufacturing Platform

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. Cloud manufacturing is a modern paradigm of intelligent, effective, and service-oriented production that has been proposed in recent years. This study applies the 3D printing industry to the cloud manufacturing model and takes as its research goal the collaborative design and manufacturing paradigm in the intelligent platform of additive manufacturing. 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. 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.
