We aim to develop a parallel mechanism with four degrees of freedom (DOFs) and design a 3D printingparallel robot, which shares actuated joints and can produce two or more identical products at the same time.Firstly, we analysed the kinematics, work space, Jacobian matrix and singularity of the 4-DOF parallel mechanismand then obtained the optimal design parameters of the 3D printing parallel robot. Secondly, in order to providebasis for the control of the 3D printing parallel robot, we carried out its simulation analysis by planning the motiontrack of its moving platform to find the real-time positional relationship between the actuated joints and the movingplatform. Finally, we did experimental analysis of the designed 3D Printer's control characteristics of the parallelmechanism. The experimental results show that because of the traits of this 4-DOFs parallel mechanism, the controlof the 3D printer is easier and the 3D printing parallel robot can produce objects on a sloping surface. Under certainconditions, the production has a higher surface accuracy.
