Abstract

With the continuous development of manufacturing technology today, the emerging technology of 3D printing is becoming more mature, and the surface accuracy and quality of printed products are receiving increasing attention from users. The stability and appropriateness of the nozzle temperature have a significant impact on the quality of the prints. This project focuses on the fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printer as the research subject, introduces the structure types of FDM 3D printers, and addresses the temperature control issue of FDM printers by using PID control for improvement. By applying SIMULINK to model and simulate the nozzle temperature control system, the simulation results of PID control are analyzed and compared. The results show that PID control shortens the stabilization time, improving the stability and control accuracy of the control system. PID control can enhance the temperature control accuracy of FDM printers, thus improving the precision and surface quality of the printed products.
