A Power Optimization Control Method Based on IMC for 3D Printer

Abstract

Abstract Aiming at the effect of selective laser sintering technology used in 3D printing, the recursive least squares method was applied to fitting a control system model for quantification the relationship between laser power and corresponding temperature in this paper. The internal model control method is considered based on the establishing model. The controller is put into the actual 3D printing power control system for controlling the laser power. In the experiment, both internal model controller and the PID controller for the 3D printer are researched and deployed for comparing the their effects in the paper. The experimental result illustrates that the IMC based on the recursive least squares method is of effectiveness.
