Abstract

ABSTRACT A high-speed and low-cost tool-changing 3D printer (100) comprising: a plurality of printing modules configured to perform various printing tasks; an automated tool-changing mechanism integrated with the printing modules to enhance precision and customization; a communication module within the printing modules, configured to upload printing parameters to the tool-changing mechanism; a processor within the tool-changing mechanism, configured to manage and optimize the printing process, ensuring precision and reducing resource usage.

Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0001] This invention generally relates to a field of additive manufacturing and, in particular, to a high-speed and low-cost tool changing 3D printer that enhances precision, efficiency, and customization in 3D printing processes.
BACKGROUND

[0002] The subject matter discussed in the background section should not be assumed to be prior art merely as a result of its mention in the background section. Similarly, a problem mentioned in the background section or associated with the subject matter of the background section should not be assumed to have been previously recognized in the prior art. The subject matter in the background section merely represents different approaches, which in and of themselves may also correspond to implementations of the claimed technology.
[0003] The field of additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, has seen substantial advancements over recent years. Traditional 3D printers often rely on single-tool configurations, which can limit their fu , C , Claims:WE CLAIM:
