Design and implementation of modular software system for three-dimensional true color printing robot

In this paper, a software system for 3D true color printing robot is developed based on modular design. The 3D true color printing software system includes image processing module, motion control module, 3D simulation module, network communication module and file format module. In this paper, we developed the specialized file format and network communication protocol which are exclusive for 3D printing software system, and then assembled all the modules under the software system framework. Finally, a 3D printing product of Taiwan is carried out to verify the feasibility of the 3D true color printing software system with the 3D true color printing robot of Institute of Robotics and Information Automatic System of Nankai University as the experimental platform.
