3D printing technology is a new molding method that uses advanced computers to simulate the complex and changeable particle size and shape of different materials in the real world, and realizes the automation of the product manufacturing process through digital processing. Moreover, due to its good testability and strong adaptability, it is widely used in various fields. This article mainly studies the 3D printing method with arc as the heat source, design the control system well, and study the slicing algorithm. The purpose is to realize the low cost and high efficiency of the manufacturing process. This article mainly uses experimental methods, comparison methods, data analysis methods and other methods to test and analyze the 3D printing control system, and conduct in-depth research on arc surfacing and slicing algorithms. The experimental results show that the error of positioning accuracy control using 3D printing technology is less than 0.5, indicating that the 3D printing control system designed in this paper is feasible.
