Development of a Decision Support System for 3D Printing Processes based on Cyber Physical Production Systems

3D printing, an additive manufacturing (AM) technology, potentially provides sustainability advantages such as less waste generation, lightweight geometries, reduced material and energy consumption, lower inventory waste, etc. This paper proposes a decision support system for the printing process based on Cyber Physical Production System (CPPS). The user is enabled to dynamically assess carbon footprint usage their printed object. A CPPS framework environmental of presented, which supports derivation improved strategies product design production. physical world used with internet things (IoT) devices like sensor node, webcam, smart plugs, raspberry pi host printer Management Software (PMS) real-time monitoring control consumption during process. Experiments have been conducted Taguchi L9 orthogonal array polylactic Acid (PLA) filament estimate product-related footprint. proposed can be effectively by users decision-making saving resources energy; minimizing effect environment.
