Description

3D printing scanning method and system and 3D printer
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of 3D printing, in particular to a 3D printing scanning method and system and a 3D printer.
Background
The current laser 3D printing and scanning method is generally divided into linear filling, circular filling and spiral filling, as shown in fig. 1A to 1C, which are schematic diagrams of effects of workpieces generated by 3D printing and scanning paths of linear filling, circular filling and spiral filling, respectively. As can be seen visually from the diagrams of fig. 1A and 1B, when the 3D printing is performed by using the two path generation methods of linear filling and annular filling, a more obvious step effect exists, and when an included angle formed by a part boundary profile and a scanning direction is smaller, the step effect is more obvious, which seriously affects the forming accuracy of the 3D printing; fig. 1C adopts a method of shifting the boundary profile to generate, so that the step effect is avoided in principle, but when generating a path for a workpiece (e.g. a thin-walled workpiece) with a high requirement on the accuracy of the edge portion, especially when 3D printing single-pass cladding width is equivalent to the minimum wall thickness, the profile shifting distance already exceeds 1/2 of the wall thickness at the thin wall, so that a corresponding scanning path cannot be generated at a long and narrow thin-walled structure (as shown in fig. 1D). For such a variable curvature thin-wall structure, a scanning path can be generated by the first two filling modes, but the precision is reduced due to a step effect, the obtained scanning path is relatively trivial and short, the surface appearance is deteriorated during laser 3D printing due to the sudden change of the acceleration in the starting and stopping stages of the path, and even if the layer profile is cut by manual partitioning, the situation cannot be avoided.
Therefore, for such workpieces with thin-wall structures, the existing 3D scanning path generation method is difficult to effectively ensure the printing precision, and it is a technical problem to be urgently solved to develop a 3D printing and scanning technology that can still effectively ensure the printing precision when being used for workpieces with thin-wall structures.
Disclosure of Invention
The embodiment of the invention aims to provide a 3D printing and scanning method, a system, a 3D printer and a machine readable storage medium, so as to improve the printing precision of a 3D printed workpiece with a thin-wall structure.
In order to achieve the above object, an embodiment of the present invention provides a 3D printing and scanning method, including: parsing a model file to be 3D printed to determine connected solid sections about a printed object; analyzing a plurality of boundary elements contained in the solid section; performing a boundary element scan path generation step comprising: determining a Thiessen polygon corresponding to the boundary element; generating a scanning path segment for the boundary element according to the maximum offset distance of the boundary element to the Thiessen polygon and a predetermined offset threshold value.
Another aspect of an embodiment of the present invention provides a 3D printing and scanning system, including: the solid section analyzing unit is used for analyzing the model file to be 3D printed so as to determine the communicated solid sections of the printing objects; a boundary element analyzing unit, configured to analyze a plurality of boundary elements included in the entity cross section; a boundary element scanning path segment generating unit comprising: the Thiessen polygon generation module is used for determining a Thiessen polygon corresponding to the boundary element; a boundary element scanning path segment generating module, configured to generate a scanning path segment for the boundary element according to a maximum offset distance from the boundary element to the Thiessen polygon and a predetermined offset threshold.
The embodiment of the invention further provides a 3D printer, which comprises the 3D printing and scanning system.
The invention further provides a machine-readable storage medium, which stores instructions for controlling a machine to execute the 3D printing and scanning method described above.
Through the technical scheme, the Thiessen polygons corresponding to the boundary elements of the solid cross section are determined, and the scanning path section aiming at the boundary elements is generated according to the maximum offset distance and the preset offset distance from the boundary elements to the Thiessen polygons corresponding to the boundary elements. Therefore, based on the characteristic that the Thiessen polygon has the characteristic that the distances from all points in the closed polygon region to the corresponding boundary elements are smaller than the distances from all points to other boundary elements, the scanning path section corresponding to the Thiessen polygon is drawn up, so that even if the contour offset distance exceeds half of the wall thickness of the thin wall, the printing precision can still be effectively ensured.

Detailed Description
The following detailed description of embodiments of the invention refers to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, not limitation.
As shown in fig. 2, a 3D printing and scanning method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:
and S21, acquiring a model file to be 3D printed.
Specifically, the model file to be 3D printed may be, for example, an STL type file, but may also be other types of 3D printed model files, and the document is not limited herein. In addition, the acquisition mode may be to import a corresponding model file into the 3D printer.
And S22, analyzing the 3D printed model file to determine connected entity sections of the printing object.
Specifically, the determination process of the solid cross section may determine all contours included for even number of times as the outer contours of the solid cross section and all contours included for odd number of times as the inner contours of the solid cross section by counting the included times among the contours in the model file to be 3D printed.
As shown in fig. 3, the closed contours obtained by slicing the STL model are grouped to obtain connected solid cross sections (because the closed contours formed by straight lines are obtained by slicing the STL file), specifically, the included times among the contours may be counted, all contours included by even number (N) are outer contours of the solid cross sections, and all contours included by the outer contours and included by N-1 times are inner contours of the corresponding solid cross sections, so that all solid cross sections after layering can be determined. As shown in fig. 3, the outline 3 and the outline 4 correspond to each other and are respectively the outer outline and the inner outline of the outermost ring structure of the solid cross section of the model; the profile 5 and the profile 6 are an outer profile and an inner profile of the inner ring structure, in which the number of times the profile 3 is contained is 0, the profile 4 is contained 1 time by the profile 3, the profile 5 is contained 1 time by the profile 3 and the profile 4, respectively (which are contained 2 times in total), and the profile 6 is contained 1 time by the profile 3, the profile 4, and the profile 5, respectively (which are contained 3 times in total), whereby the number of times each profile is contained and parity with respect to the number of times can be counted.

As shown in fig. 4A, it shows an effect diagram of a solid cross section after outline grouping and element initialization.
S24, executing the boundary element scan path generating step to generate a scan path segment for the boundary element.
The specific details regarding the boundary element scan path generation step may be determined by:
and S141, determining the Thiessen polygon corresponding to the boundary element.
Specifically, the bisector can be cut into bisector segments by using rays which pass through the end points of the boundary elements and are perpendicular to the boundary elements based on the bisector between the boundary element and other boundary elements. As shown in fig. 4B, which shows an example of a bisector of a single boundary element. Further, the corresponding thieson polygon is generated based on all bisector segments belonging to the boundary elements, wherein the bisector segments belong to both boundary elements defining it, which may be, for example, a directly determining bisector segment satisfying the condition as the corresponding thieson polygon, as shown in fig. 4C for the single element thieson polygon.
And S142, generating a scanning path segment aiming at the boundary element according to the maximum offset distance from the boundary element to the Thiessen polygon and a preset offset distance.
Specifically, when the maximum offset value from the boundary element to the corresponding thiessen polygon is greater than the offset threshold, the offset boundary element may be directly used as the scan path line segment; and when the maximum offset value of the boundary element to the corresponding Thiessen polygon is less than or equal to the offset distance threshold value, generating a scanning path segment according to a non-initial bisector in the Thiessen polygon corresponding to the boundary element, wherein the non-initial bisector is used for indicating that two defined boundary elements of the bisector are not adjacent, and thus generating the scanning path segment aiming at the boundary element.

In addition, when the print scan path generation method is applied to a plurality of boundary elements, different offset thresholds may be set for the plurality of boundary elements, respectively; performing a boundary element scan path generation step for a plurality of boundary elements of the solid cross section, respectively, based on the set different offset thresholds, to determine a plurality of scan path segments corresponding to the plurality of boundary elements, respectively; and generating a scanning path aiming at the model file to be printed in the 3D mode according to the plurality of determined scanning path sections. Fig. 4E shows scan path segments generated for a solid cross-section at a single offset, and fig. 4F shows scan path segments generated for a solid cross-section at all offsets.
