Abstract

This paper proposes a mechanism-based energy consumption modeling method for manufacturing processes. It investigates the energy consumption characteristics of the printhead stepping motion during Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and constructs a corresponding energy consumption model through experiments. The power variations and energy consumption levels during the printing process of a typical part were tested and evaluated, with results validating the effectiveness of the constructed model and the proposed method.
