An embodiment provides a kind of 3D Method of printing, its flow process as shown in Figure 1, comprising:
Step S100, is converted to multilayer two-dimension polygon by the threedimensional model to be printed recording material information, and makes each planar polygons comprise described material information.
Step S200, is divided into some sub-planar polygons by comprising various material information planar polygons in every layer, makes each described sub-planar polygons only comprise a kind of material information.
Step S300, controls multiple shower nozzle and prints described sub-planar polygons with the material information that often a sub-planar polygons comprises one by one by layer.
3D Method of printing of the present invention is by being divided into several sub-planar polygons comprising material information of the same race by the planar polygons comprising various material information by material, adopt the Slicer of many shower nozzles (often kind of corresponding shower nozzle of material) to print to every sub-planar polygons, thus the 3D achieving many shower nozzles and many materials print.
Step S100 is actual is the process of being cut into slices by threedimensional model, is cut into multilayer two-dimension polygon, successively to print.The present embodiment adopts the file format supporting material, as: 3MF, PLY, OBJ or AMF, material information is recorded in (usual threedimensional model is the surface adopting triangular facet to carry out approximate simulation object) on the triangular facet on threedimensional model surface, namely material properties is increased to triangular facet.To print the threedimensional model of two kinds of materials, as shown in Figure 2, a cube is made up of 12 triangles, and wherein a triangle in front is black, and other triangles are white.
Be planar polygons by threedimensional model by slicing method migration, due on the face of threedimensional model with material information, the matter that therefore needs a person with the qualifications of a general information slicing, makes each planar polygons comprise material information.The material information adopting the line segment on the limit of described planar polygons to comprise to record this planar polygons in the slicing process of the present embodiment, opposite side increases material properties.After section, triangular facet is cut into some layers, and the attribute corresponding planar polygons limit being recorded material information is identical with the material properties of triangular facet record.Such as material information is also carried out slicing by above-mentioned cube simultaneously, obtains the planar polygons being with material information.As shown in Figure 3, this cube has been divided 20 layers, every layer is a planar polygons, each planar polygons as shown in Figure 4, (thicker solid line represents black to have one section of black at least, thinner solid line represent white) line segment, Fig. 4 comprises the line segment of ab and bc two sections of adjacent black materials.Because threedimensional model has various material, therefore, each planar polygons may comprise various material information.
In step S200, being divided into some sub-planar polygons by comprising various material information planar polygons in every layer, making each described sub-planar polygons only comprise a kind of material information.Planar polygons is divided into some sub-planar polygons and can comprises two kinds of modes.
The concrete steps of mode one as shown in Figure 5, comprising:
Step S211, generates the axis of described planar polygons.Adopt Delaunay, Voronoi or Straight Skeleton (straight skeleton) method to generate the axis of planar polygons in the present embodiment, skeleton method based on Delaunay triangulation is very similar with the method for the structure polygon element line based on Voronoi figure (also claiming Thiessen polygon figure), generates polygon element line be respectively below described for Delaunay and Straight Skeleton.As shown in Figure 6, for comprise two kinds of materials threedimensional model section after a planar polygons, wherein A (heavy black line) represents a kind of material, and B (black thin) represents another kind of material.
As shown in Figure 7, for Delaunay method, triangulation is carried out to planar polygons, make some subdivision lines (in Fig. 7 shown in dotted line) generate triangular mesh with the limit of described planar polygons; Connect the axis of the middle dot generation planar polygons of each subdivision line (in other distortion of Delaunay method, axis can also be generated by the line of the geometric center such as barycenter oftriangle and unfaithful intention and all be suitable for the present invention), as shown in the black solid line in the middle of planar polygons in Fig. 7.
As shown in Fig. 8,9 and 10, for Straight Skeleton method, the angular bisector along planar polygons carries out indentation to described planar polygons.As shown in Figure 9, for convex planar polygons, after two angular bisectors intersect generation intersection point, two angular bisectors are carried out merge (after two angular bisector intersects, point of intersection just as new angle, continues same operation to indentation direction), form a new polygon (as shown in shadow region in Fig. 9), to described new polygon by its angular bisector indentation, until generate the axis of planar polygons; Or for recessed planar polygons, as shown in Figure 10, after two angle separated times separation are no longer intersected, planar polygons is divided into multiple new polygon (as shown in shadow region in Figure 10), to described new polygon by its angular bisector indentation, until generate polygonal axis.The axis of final formation is as shown in the black line in the middle of polygon in Fig. 8.
Step S212, is connected the line segment comprising material information of the same race with axis, is the minimum new polygon closed of the area on a limit to generate some with the line segment comprising described material information of the same race.As shown in heavy black line in Figure 11 and 12, be respectively the new polygon comprising material A obtained based on Delaunay and Straight Skeleton method.
Step S213, carries out boolean's union by the new polygon comprising identical material information, merges the line segment and the multiple new polygon on shared at least one limit with adjacent identical material information, to generate described sub-planar polygons.As shown in Figs. 13 and 14, be respectively merge new polygon based on Delaunay and Straight Skeleton method after the sub-planar polygons comprising material A that obtains.In the present embodiment, owing to only including two kinds of materials, therefore former polygon and material a-quadrant polygon can be carried out Boolean subtraction calculation, obtain the region of B, as shown in figs, be respectively merge new polygon based on Delaunay and Straight Skeleton method after the sub-planar polygons comprising material B that obtains.
The concrete steps of mode two as shown in figure 17, comprising:
Step S221, carries out indentation to described planar polygons, to generate indentation line.The step generating indentation line comprises: adopt Straight Skeleton method (being not limited to Straight Skeleton method) to carry out indentation along the angular bisector of described planar polygons to described planar polygons, generate indentation line after indentation preset distance.As shown in figure 18, for comprise two kinds of materials threedimensional model section after another planar polygons, wherein A (heavy black line) represents a kind of material, and B (black thin) represents another kind of material.The inside indentation of angular bisector along planar polygons, each certain distance just can form an indentation line, as shown in phantom in Figure 18.
Step S222, is connected the line segment comprising material information of the same race with indentation line, is the minimum new polygon closed of the area on a limit to generate some with the line segment comprising described material information of the same race.As shown in heavy black line in Figure 19, three the new polygons comprising material A obtained.
Step S223, carries out boolean's union by the new polygon comprising identical material information, merges the line segment and the multiple new polygon on shared at least one limit with adjacent identical material information, to generate described sub-planar polygons.As shown in figure 20, the sub-planar polygons comprising material A for obtaining after merging new polygon.In the present embodiment, owing to only including two kinds of materials, therefore former polygon and material a-quadrant polygon can be carried out Boolean subtraction calculation, obtain the region of B, as shown in figure 21, be the sub-planar polygons comprising material B obtained after merging new polygon.
In step S221, when indentation distance is enough large, then generate polygonal axis (namely adopting the axis that Straight Skeleton generates in mode one).In addition, in extreme circumstances, when indentation distance is the diameter of printing head, as shown in figure 22, monochromatic polygonal region is solid area, without inner filling part.I.e. indentation distance determines the size of the planar polygons area of the threedimensional model of printing, therefore can set indentation distance according to actual conditions.
