The Integration of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics in Production Optimization of 3D Polymer Printing

The Precision Engineering and Technology Centre (PETC) have Common Facility Centre namely EOS M 396 Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) Machine which is an Industrial Grade 3D Polymer Printing installed for use of all 40 Automotive Components Manufacturers at Tirumudivakkam, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. The objective is to study the technical efficiency for 6 input and 6 output variables related to SLS for traditional and AI integrated. The methodology adopted is collection of data from 40 automotive components manufacturers at Chennai. It is found that all the 40 ACM use the SLS with less service charge when compared to market price since they are all members in PETC. The technical efficiency of integrated AI is greater than traditional DMLS. The Design Software's, Product Development Machines and Testing Machines are available in PETC, CFC so that 40 Automotive components Manufacturers can make use of with less service charge which leads to cost minimisation and profit maximisation. To conclude AI based usage leads to cost minimization and profit maximization of individual Automotive Components Manufacturers when compared to traditional usage of SLS.
