Automated additive manufacturing production systems and methods

An automated additive manufacturing production (AAMP) system comprising:

• a plurality of AAMP system stations disposed in an environment and configured to perform one or more AAMP processing routines;
• a plurality of robots configured to autonomously travel within the environment, wherein one or more robots from among the plurality of robots include an auxiliary AAMP processing station configured to perform one or more auxiliary AAMP processing routines;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• select an AAMP system station from among the plurality of AAMP system stations to perform the one or more AAMP processing routines based on AAMP system operation data, wherein the AAMP system operation data includes a printer state, a cleaning device state, or a combination thereof;
• and
• select a robot from among the plurality of robots to initiate the one or more AAMP processing routines at the selected AAMP system station based on a digital model of the environment and robot operation data, wherein:
• the digital model of the environment indicates a location of the plurality of AAMP system stations, a location of the plurality of robots, or a combination thereof.
• the robot operation data includes an auxiliary processing state of the auxiliary AAMP processing stations, and
• the auxiliary processing state corresponds to a state of an air washing device, a state of an alcohol washing device, or a combination thereof.

A method for controlling a plurality of automated additive manufacturing production (AAMP) system stations disposed in an environment and configured to perform one or more AAMP processing routines, wherein the environment includes a plurality of robots configured to autonomously travel within the environment, wherein one or more robots from among the plurality of robots include an auxiliary AAMP processing station configured to perform one or more auxiliary AAMP processing routines, the method comprising:

• selecting an AAMP system station from among the plurality of AAMP system stations to perform the one or more AAMP processing routines based on AAMP system operation data, wherein the AAMP system operation data includes a printer state, a cleaning device state, or a combination thereof;
• and
• selecting a robot from among the plurality of robots to initiate the one or more AAMP routines at the selected AAMP system station based on a digital model of the environment and robot operation data, wherein:
• the digital model of the environment indicates a location of the plurality of AAMP system stations, a location of the plurality of robots, or a combination thereof,
• the robot operation data includes an auxiliary processing state of the auxiliary AAMP processing stations, and
• the auxiliary processing state corresponds to a state of an air washing device, a state of an alcohol washing device, or a combination thereof.
