US-based Printpal announces the official release of PrintWatch
software
, which can detect printing errors or errors during part manufacturing and take appropriate action. Solutions can stop an in-progress print, warn the user of a defect or reduce the extrusion temperature that is too high. PrintWatch can also monitor related3D printingstatus of the machine, making it easier to schedule any maintenance operations. The software integrates with OctoPrint and is available through a monthly subscription.
Managing the printing process is often complicated, especially when you run multiple3D printingmachine time. Mistakes happen quickly, like clogged nozzles, threading, over-squeezing, etc. Often, you have to restart the printing process, which means using more material than expected and, most importantly, wasting time. There are currently solutions that facilitate this management: remote monitoring applications, integrated cameras, sprinkler inspection ends, etc. Printpal presents this smart AIMS box that detects the most common errors simply by placing it on the machine.
PrintWatch does not depend on physical systems, but on software and APIs.Printpal, which specializes in machine learning and artificial intelligence, uses a series of3D printerThe algorithm, the user installs the software on his computer or Raspberry Pi and enters his printing parameters, which is convenient and fast.
Specifically, when the software finds a defect, it tracks the defect to assess its severity. Depending on the situation, it can stop the computer or just send a notification to the user. The accuracy rate is estimated to be 93%. How does it work? Printpal explains: “To detect defects in real time, PrintWatch takes a video stream from a camera affixed to the printer’s print area and runs it through a machine learning model that can detect defects in a variety of sizes, shapes, colors, materials, lighting, and settings. Defects. When a defect is clearly identified, PrintWatch starts tracking the defect to see how it has progressed. If it becomes apparent that the defect is deteriorating, PrintWatch takes action. This tracking system helps prevent any false positives from triggering actions in the software .These machine learning models are built on the cloud, so you only need an internet connection to access them and run calculations, and PrintWatch can also be accessed through Octoprint.
