System of 3D printers cooperating via the internet-studying the impact of network delays on the operation of the system

The paper presents the system cooperating with each other via the Internet 3D printers. It is described a mathematical model of the printer robot and kinematic chain. The mathematical model of dynamics manipulator 3D printer and its control system was implemented in Matlab/Simulink environment, for both the master printer (the system of setpoint), as well as a slave printer, working as a copier. In the system of setpoint is contained a printed shape of the element, which during operation is converted at a given trajectory of movement of the manipulator master printer. Subsequent points of trajectories are transmitted via the Internet to the slave printer, where reproduced is the shape of the printed element.
