Research on the Automatic Programming System of the Bone Scaffold 3D Printer Manufacturing

Abstract:

STL file is the data source of the technology. As the basis of the technology, the information of the STL file must be picked up, post-processed, and then the G code file which is tallied the PMAC rule generates as a .CFG file form in the environment of VC++. Finally, the goal of programming automation achieves after the pre-processed and post-processed of STL file. The G code downloads in the PMAC Motion Controller to control the additive manufacturing system to manufacture the bone scaffold. It realizes the automation process from the STL file of the bone to the bone scaffold in tissue engineer.
