Master's Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Engineering - Mechanical Engineering, grade: 3.6, Nanjing University of Science and Technology (Mechanical Engineering), course: Additive Manufacturing & 3D Printing, language: English, abstract: This paper 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. 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 component

Additive manufacturing (AM) methods have great potential for promoting transformative research in many fields across the vast spectrum of engineering and materials science. AM is one of the leading forms of advanced manufacturing which enables direct computer-aided design (CAD) to part production without part-specific tooling. In October 2015 the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a workshop of experts from diverse communities to examine predictive theoretical and computational approaches for various AM technologies. While experimental workshops in AM have been held in the past, this workshop uniquely focused on theoretical and computational approaches and involved areas such as simulation-based engineering and science, integrated computational materials engineering, mechanics, materials science, manufacturing processes, and other specialized areas. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
