Optimization of Control Software for Continuous Printing of Metal with Multiple Materials Using C++

Data icon, disabled. Four grey bars arranged like a vertical bar chart.

This research endeavors to revolutionize metal 3D printing through the optimization of control software. By harnessing C++ programming, we aim to precisely regulate printing speed and video projection, enabling the creation of intricate, high-resolution green parts. The project’s broader impact lies in the potential to usher in a new era of highly adaptable, metal-based 3D printed structures, poised to reshape industries and advance manufacturing capabilities.
