Application of cyber-physical systems for additive manufacturing of polymer products

The article presents the use of IT systems and cooperative robots in the 3D printing process based on the layered extrusion of polymer materials, enabling the construction of autonomous produc- tion cells that meet the assumptions of cyber-physical production systems. This solution allows for an innovative approach to planning the production of products from polymer materials in terms of pre- and post-process operations using remote monitoring, and optionally allows the use of artificial intelli- gence to control the production process. An important feature of the proposed solution is its modularity and scalability, which is important when manufacturing products using the 3D printing method from thermoplastic polymer materials.
