  • Publication number: 20230221708
    Abstract: A system and a method of enhancing reliability of fused deposition modelling (FDM) process are disclosed. The system instructs a three-dimensional (3D) printer to employ a 3D printer nozzle for dispensing material for forming a 3D print object. The system receives images from a nozzle camera. The nozzle camera captures images of the 3D printer nozzle dispensing the material. The system detects printing failures from the images of the 3D printer nozzle. The system creates bounding boxes around the printing failures. The system classifies the printing failures based on type of errors. The system adjusts printing parameters or terminates the printing process based on the printing failures classified. The system further includes a bracket for positioning the nozzle camera for capturing images of the 3D printer nozzle.
