Abstract
Examples of methods are described. In some examples, a method includes determining objects corresponding to a manufacturing period of three dimensional (3D) printing. In some examples, the method includes packing build volumes based on the objects. In some examples, the method includes simulating manufacturing powder degradation based on the build volumes. In some examples, the method includes determining a quantity of manufacturing powder consumption based on the manufacturing powder degradation. In some examples, the method includes adjusting a manufacturing parameter based on the quantity of manufacturing powder consumption.
Claims15
A method, comprising:
- determining objects corresponding to a manufacturing period of three dimensional (3D) printing;
- packing build volumes based on the objects;
- simulating manufacturing powder degradation based on the build volumes;
- determining a quantity of manufacturing powder consumption based on the manufacturing powder degradation;
- and
- adjusting a manufacturing parameter based on the quantity of manufacturing powder consumption.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is to:
- simulate manufacturing powder degradation quality metrics for a set of build volumes;
- determine quantities of manufacturing powder consumption for the set of build volumes based on the manufacturing powder degradation quality metrics;
- select a build volume with a smallest quantity of manufacturing powder consumption;
- and
- change a manufacturing procedure based on the selected build volume.
A non-transitory tangible computer-readable medium comprising instructions when executed cause a processor of an electronic device to:
- determine that a demand condition is satisfied to produce a demand determination;
- determine, in response to the demand determination, objects corresponding to a manufacturing period;
- determine build volumes that include the objects;
- determine a quantity of manufacturing powder consumption for each of the build volumes;
- and
- adjust a batching rule based on the quantity of manufacturing powder consumption of each of the build volumes.
