OPTIMIZATION OF THE PROCESS OF 3D-PRINTING FOR SLS TECHNOLOGIES OF ADDITIVE PRODUCTION
Keywords:
3D printing, SLS technology, packing, phi-functions method, nonlinear optimizationAbstract
The paper studies constructive tools of optimizing the 3D printing process in SLS additive production technology. We develop NLP model and solution algorithm that allow us simultaneously printing a large number of products to maximize the volume of the working chamber of a 3D printer, taking into account technological requirements. We minimize the time and cost of creating products by significantly reducing the number of printing cycles.
