Numerical control system of stereolithography apparatus based on PLC

Aiming at simpling the structure of numerical control system, and decreasing the cost and difficulty of development, a numerical control system based on the programmable logic controller（PLC） was designed for a stereolithography apparatus （SLA） machine with utilizing the prominent feature of the easy development and higher reliability of the PLC. By the developed numerical system, all control signals was integrated to the PLC, and series communication method was adopted to realize the control of the lower devices. The research indicates that the whole period of development and cost of machine are decreased.
