With the development of Intelligent Machine as a Service (IMaaS), devices increasingly require personalization, intelligence, and service orientation, making resource modeling a key challenge. Knowledge graph (KG) technology, known for unifying heterogeneous data, has become an essential tool for modeling and analyzing manufacturing resources. On this basis, this study proposes a novel resource KG construction method for IMaaS. First, an E-R diagram is used to divide the constant and variable entities and set the constant attributes and the constant relationships. Then, the triplets are named, the value space is set, and the schema layer is constructed. Finally, the related information about devices is used to fill the data layer, and then, the knowledge graph is generated. Meanwhile, this study utilizes desktop FDM 3D printing devices as a case example for validation. The method proposed in this study can enhance the accuracy and maintainability of equipment resource management in the manufacturing sector, effectively promoting subsequent activities such as management, analysis, and decision-making.
