The project aims to develop a prototype for SmartPrint AI, an AI-driven workflow solution that enhances on-demand additive manufacturing. The problem addressed is the inefficiency and high costs associated with traditional 3D printing processes. By integrating artificial intelligence, the platform seeks to optimize production workflows, reduce material waste, and improve quality control measures. The goal is to create a seamless interface that allows users to input design specifications and receive optimized printing instructions. This project will enable learners to apply their knowledge of AI algorithms, 3D printing technology, and process optimization. The focus will be on developing a user-friendly prototype that demonstrates the potential of AI in revolutionizing additive manufacturing processes.

The project deliverables include a functioning prototype, or minimum viable product (MVP), of the SmartPrint AI platform that demonstrates its capacity to optimize 3D printing procedures. A thorough report documenting the AI algorithms employed, the optimization process, and the predicted cost savings and quality improvements will also be supplied. To guarantee simplicity of use, a user manual will be created explaining the platform's capabilities and usage instructions.
