Creation of an Operating System that Enables Additive Manufacturing

When selecting the technology to be used for additive manufacturing, it is important to be guided by a list of requirements for the parts to be manufactured, the characteristics of the powder material and an equipment specifications. For this reason, it is very important to have a model that describes all the stages of production. The article is devoted to the consideration of the issues of optimisation of the creation of a plan of production technology management based on the consideration of multiple criteria of the model of the choice of the most effective technology, assuming the optimal utilisation of the equipment. In the text of the article several indicators have been used that describe the adaptation and allow to argue the practical advantages of using modern 3D printing technologies and to determine a specific manufacturing option. By selecting a manufacturing option, it is possible to calculate the most efficient placement of products on the platforms, as well as to work out a suitable order of the main manufacturing operations in order to minimise costs and time. Due to the advantages of the proposed model, it was possible to reduce the production time of a batch of products by about 2.5%. The advantages of the proposed model can be applied to similar production facilities, which will reduce plant downtime and slightly speed up production.
