The system design and key technologies of the additive manufacturing intelligent cloud platform are systematically analyzed on the basis of the cloud manufacturing concept. A prototype device has been developed.
The paper's key primary research is as follows: Combined with the concept and context of cloud 3D manufacturing, the research status of cloud manufacturing was analyzed, the description and benefits of cloud manufacturing were systematically summarized, the general structure of 3D printing cloud platform services was developed, and the module functions, application methods, and operating mechanisms were introduced. An eight-layer architecture of the cloud platform is proposed based on the functional framework of the 3D printing cloud platform. Several key modules of the online cloud platform are analyzed and clarified, and through a comparative comparison with the conventional 3D printing network platform, the benefits of the 3D printing cloud platform are examined.
The 3D printing cloud platform development environment was created, the prototype system data sheet was designed, and the prototype system of the 3D printing cloud platform was developed.

Excerpt from the Book
1.1 Research Background and Significance
In recent decades, with the improvement of the overall level of China's manufacturing industry, many industries have increasingly demanded some parts with high precision requirements and unusually complicated spatial shapes. The production of these parts using traditional manufacturing methods usually requires a lot of Process is more difficult. Not only that, the national demand for personalized manufacturing is getting higher and higher, and the traditional manufacturing methods are generally suitable for mass production, the production method is relatively single, it is difficult to meet the flexible and personalized production needs. With the continuous improvement of the level of 3D printing technology, the supplementary effect of 3D printing on the above-mentioned traditional manufacturing deficiencies is more and more obvious, and the market demand for 3D printing is also expanding. 3D printing [1-2] As one of the representatives of emerging intelligent manufacturing technology in the 21st century, it combines advanced material technology and digital manufacturing technology, which is an important content of advanced manufacturing and smart manufacturing. At the end of the 19th century, the core idea of 3D printing originated in the United States [3] By the late 1980s, 3D printing gradually became mature and began to be commercialized. Nowadays, 3D printing has been widely used in molds, automobiles, aviation, medical, Many industries and fields such as cultural creation and education are indispensable processing methods in the manufacturing industry. 3D printing first performs layered slice processing on the three-dimensional model of the entity to be printed, and then stacks the target entity by adding printing materials layer by layer, which is an advanced digital additive manufacturing technology. Compared with the traditional subtractive manufacturing method, 3D printing has the following advantages:
