    摘要: The invention relates to an extrusion-based AM 3D printing system (100) comprising a printhead assembly (110) comprising a feedstock liquefying unit (130) and a heating element (114) that is configured to generate heat for transforming solid feedstock material into liquefied feedstock material that is extruded as an extrudate (117) via a nozzle (118) of an outlet portion of the feedstock liquefying unit. The system further comprises an extrudate temperature sensor (119) for determining a temperature of the extrudate (117) freshly exiting the nozzle while the printhead assembly is positioned at a non-printing location, and a control unit (140) that is configured to execute a heater controlling algorithm that is configured to generate initial control settings for the heating element, and to execute the heater controlling algorithm for generating adjusted control settings for improving control of the temperature of the extrudate. The invention also relates to a method of improved control of the extrudate temperature.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for reducing an additional printing time of a 3D object (1) related to printing of an outer wall (2) of the 3D object, the outer wall having an outer surface (3) with an enhanced smoothness. The outer wall is arranged to envelope an inner part (8) of the 3D object. The outer wall comprises at least one region comprising a first outer wall part (2a) and a second outer wall part (2b). The first outer wall part forms the outer surface with the enhanced smoothness. The second outer wall part is arranged between the first outer wall part and the inner part and provides a low-resolution part of the outer wall having a less smooth outer surface than the first outer wall part. Hence, the additional printing time related to printing the outer wall having an outer surface with an enhanced smoothness can be reduced. The invention also relates to a 3D printing system (30) adapted to perform the method according to the invention and to a 3D printed object having the abovementioned outer wall.
