Abstract

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printing technology has received widespread attention for its efficiency and reliability in prototype production, small batch production, and complex structure construction. However, printing quality and efficiency largely depend on the performance of layered algorithms, which poses a serious challenge to algorithm design. This study proposes a new type of layering algorithm, which is validated by simulation experiments. The validation results show that the algorithm is more detailed than traditional adaptive layering at feature height, and retains model features to a greater extent compared to traditional adaptive layering, while balancing printing quality and efficiency. This study not only provides new design ideas for the layered algorithm of FDM 3D printing technology, but also opens up new avenues for further improving printing efficiency and quality.
