USING 3D TECHNOLOGY TO DESIGN LITHIUM BATTERIES

Abstract

This paper examines the 3D design of lithium-ion batteries for various energy storage systems,
in particular for personal mobility devices. The relevance of the development is justified by
the rapidly growing market for lithium-based energy storage devices. The goal of the work is to
reduce the design time of a custom lithium battery. The task is to create an information system
with automated battery design based on specified restrictions. A review of software solutions for
creating 3D models was conducted. The following software technologies were used: software for
creating three-dimensional computer graphics Blender, software library for creating and using 3D
models ThreeJS. A software package has been developed for designing lithium batteries in 3D
based on client-server architecture. The developed solution allows you to form the case and holder
automatically with the ability to upload files and print on a 3D printer, and also allows you to
shorten the battery assembly process thanks to automated design and modeling of a lithium battery. This design system is capable of finding solutions based on fuzzy rules, allowing the operator
to choose from a variety of solutions that satisfy given constraints. The developed solution made it
possible to reduce the battery assembly time by an average of 40–50%, and the design time to 1
second. This made it possible to reduce the cost of battery manufacturing by 5–20%.
