Abstract
This article allows a study of the electrical and control parts of a pilot extruder in order to transform polymers in the form of filaments used by the 3D printer. The input materials used are often thermoplastics in the form of granules or plastic waste. This paper aims are to design and manufacture the control part of a filament extruder in order to avoid many existing problems such as a longer settling time, large time constants, and undesirable overshoot. The proposed solution combined with a digital PID corrector, will have improvements in terms of time domain specification, set point tracking and eliminating static error by ensuring optimal system stability. The control method will be simulated and visualized using MATLAB\Simulink software. In order to proceed with an analysis of the structural integrity of a high voltage electrical cable since the placement of the insulation part in a HV electrical cable is made by an extrusion directly around the conductive core.
