Abstract

We develop a small and lightweight cloud based service for the utilization of 3D printer resources enabling users to collaborate on models. Users can collaborate by sharing model files, discussions on aspects of the printing process or using 3D printers as shared resources. This service consists of user, artefact and printer management building on existing web technology. It enables scheduling of printing jobs for artefacts and high utilization of 3D printer resources. This cloud based manufacturing (CBM) system enables 3D printers that are non-native networked to be used remotely by providing easily installable low cost networked computers or installable services. It focuses on the interface between the physical resources and their representation in software to form a cyber physical system (CPS). This service requires smart 3D printers and representation of technical capabilities of physical resources. This work is a research platform for smart machinery or the enhancement of machinery for smart control under the paradigm of Industry 4.0. We discuss the design and concept of this work in progress service and the distinctions from similar systems. Furthermore, the sharing requirements and capabilities of such a service are discussed with a focus on the data integrity and safety for sharing data among users.
