description 3D printing has become highly applicable in modern life recently. The industry has brought a facelift to most others. However, this technology still exists some shortcomings, and it therefore has not been generalised to bring the best benefits to users. In this paper, based on multilayer perceptron and convolution neural network models, we propose a new data-driven machine learning platform for predicting optimised parameters of the 3D printing process from a model design to a complete product. This finding can open up great advances in the current 3D printing technology. Accordingly, the results obtained allow us to predict quickly and accurately some decisive parameters of the traditional 3D printing process such as time, weight and length while the input was fuzzy with a part of the initial information missing. The proposed approach does not need to account for the shape, size and material of the printed object, but it can perform the process automatically without other extra factors. After completing the model, a configurator is proposed to set the parameters for the respective printer types, which makes the 3D printing process simple and fast.
