A control system has been developed for a compact industrial 3D printer for printing functional composite parts with high speed and accuracy. The system includes built-in ventilation and heating, reduces maintenance time, and minimizes human error through automation. The hardware platform is Mitsubishi Electric iQ-R, and the industrial assembly is made according to the UL508A standard. The project included circuit design, assembly coordination, and commissioning.
Hardware platform — Mitsubishi Electric iQ-R with Motion CPU, G-code control using built-in controller tools. Electrical diagrams were developed in SolidWorks Electrical, industrial panel assembly was performed in accordance with UL508A and confirmed by UL inspection.
