About the research centre or Inria department

The Inria Rennes - Bretagne Atlantique Centre is one of Inria's eight centres and has more than thirty research teams. The Inria Center is a major and recognized player in the field of digital sciences. It is at the heart of a rich R&D and innovation ecosystem: highly innovative PMEs, large industrial groups, competitiveness clusters, research and higher education players, laboratories of excellence, technological research institute, etc.

Context

3D printing using fused filament deposition (FDM) 1 has many fields of application including prototyping, maintenance and custom manufacturing. Recently, during COVID, large-scale emergency production of innovative solutions for crisis situations has been made possible by this technology, which is easily deployable and allows on-site production.

Within the Ofast3D exploratory project, we aim to increase the production capacity of players using 3D printing by fused filament deposition without modifying their infrastructures. This project is a collaboration between the PACAP team for the compilation and optimization aspects for performance, MFX for its experience in 3D printing and MimeTIC for the planning and scheduling aspects.

The 3D printing process includes several steps including the 3D modeling of the object to be printed, the slicing of this object (including the addition of material to ensure physical properties of flexibility or robustness) via dedicated software. At the end of the slicing process, a g-code that describes the displacement of the nozzle during the printing of the object is generated. This g-code is then interpreted by the firmware of the machine in order to print the final object. Each link of this chain has an impact on the printing time but also on the final quality of the print. For complex objects the printing time can reach several hours or even days.

Main activities

In this postdoc we want to focus on the optimization of printing time through the management / modification of the nozzle trajectory. This trajectory is originally determined by the slicer and a number of works have already demonstrated that it is possible to propose strategies that improve the trajectories with regards to the reduction of printing time 2,3,4,5,6,7,9. However, these works do not take into account the nature of the printed elements and thus do not take into account the printing quality. Moreover, the optimization strategy itself is hardly parameterizable.

Our ambition is to propose a new formulation of the optimization problem that would lead to the proposition of a fully configurable optimization algorithm. A user could then sketch optimization strategies specific to his machine and/or his needs. This would allow to optimize the printing times according to the characteristics of the target machine while taking into account the notion of quality (to authorize to degrade the quality or on the contrary to reinforce it) 8. We also want, thanks to our collaboration with the MFX team, to explore the relationship between the optimization process and the slicer in order to determine if the optimization could guide the slicer in its choices upstream of the trajectory generation.

Within the project, we already have a g-code compiler at our disposal. This compiler is able to extract information on the nature of the printed elements and abstracts the user from the g-code to be able to focus on the optimization of the nozzle trajectory. We have already been able to test a few algorithms that are promising. We also have an experimentation platform composed of several 3D printers to perform test benches. The postdoc will work in collaboration with researchers of the different teams of the Ofast3D project as well as with the two engineers associated with the project.
