DescriptionWe present a closed-loop control for high-quality fabrication using reinforcement learning. Our method replaces difficult-to-realize training on physical hardware with a new numerical simulation framework for discovering control policies. We deploy the discovered controllers on printing hardware and demonstrate a minimal sim-to-real gap for low- and high-viscosity materials.
