Service Architecture and evaluation model of distributed 3D printing based on cloud manufacturing

3D printing is a kind of important method in the field of rapid prototyping and customized production. In order to achieve the purpose of production integration and product customization of 3D printing, this paper propose a 3D printing cloud integrated platform architecture based on cloud manufacturing. Moreover, how to evaluate and select the services of different distributed 3D printing terminals in cloud platform also requires further in-depth study. To address this issue, a service evaluation model of distributed 3D printing based on cloud manufacturing is designed and proposed in this paper. This model can be used to characterization the evaluation information of each dimension by fuzzy theory, and the evaluation results of the service can be accurately quantified by fuzzy number operation. The illustrative example show that the model and the evaluation method can effectively quantify the service quality, improve the quality and accuracy of services selection.
