    Abstract: A process control method for a 3D-printing process using a 3D printer. The 3D printer has a build platform, a light source, a receiving device for printing material and a control device by which an object can be produced layer-wise or continuously from the printing material. The method includes using a thermal imaging camera, the output signal of which is transmitted to the control device, connected to the 3D printer, The method includes the following steps of illuminating a layer or parts of said layer positionally selectively, detecting the temperature of the layer during the polymerisation using the thermal imaging camera, ending the building process of a layer by ending the illumination, the time of the end of the illumination being established by a predefined temperature Tmax or a predefined change in temperature dT/dt being reached.

    Abstract: A method and a device for measuring a temperature of a wire rod, a storage medium, and a computer device are disclosed. The method includes: determining an effective temperature measurement area according to the infrared thermal image and feature information of the wire rod; projecting preset light onto the wire rod geometric model, tracing a light propagation path of the preset light, and calculating an effective emissivity based on a tracing result of the light propagation path; and correcting temperature measurements in the effective temperature measurement area based on the effective emissivity to obtain a corrected temperature measurement result. The infrared thermal image is acquired, and is analyzed by image processing, thereby dynamically capturing the effective temperature measurement area. The effective emissivity between wire rods is calculated, and then the measured temperature of the wire rod is corrected, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of temperature measurement on wire rods.
