SLM (Selective Laser Melting) is a unique additive manufacturing technology which plays an irreplaceable role in the modern industrial revolution. 3D printers can directly process metal powder quickly to obtain the necessary parts faster. Shortly, it will be possible to manufacture products at unparalleled speeds.

Nowadays, the application of tri-periodic minimal surface (TPMS) in topology optimization design has become a new choice, and, because of its excellent structure and properties, has gradually become mainstream. In this paper, the mechanical properties of four different topologies prepared by selective laser melting (SLM) using 316L stainless steel powder were investigated, including two TPMS sheet structures (Primitive surface, Gyroid surface) and two common lattice structures (Bcc lattice, truss lattice).

ADRC controller is designed, and the extended state observer is used for observing internal parameters uncertainties and external disturbances, so that the disturbances of the system are suppressed effectively. Velocity compensation controller is designed and the compensation model is derived to further improve the positioning accuracy of the system and to achieve the velocity compensation without disturbance.
