The method of the present embodiment is described further below by some optional implementations.
In the present embodiment, alternatively, described printer model file includes but not limited to: the shape of described object, material, page order.That is to say, in the printer model file of an object, at least described shape, material and the page order of described object.Particularly, the shape of described object comprises: form the structural relation between shape and the various piece of various piece of described object; The material of described object comprises: the material that forms the various piece of described object; The page order of described object comprises: form the page order of the various piece of described object, first print rear which part of which part.
In the present embodiment, between the each several part due to adjacency in an object, there is stress, correspondingly, can described object be divided into multiple parts (Parts) according to mutual stress.Because the stress between the each several part of adjacency in an object may change along with print procedure, alternatively, the division of described middle parts of objects part also may be along with print procedure changes.
Wherein, some parts may need to support in print procedure, and some parts may not need to support in print procedure.Alternatively, the present embodiment described according to the printer model file of an object, determine parts in described object in the print procedure of described object required support force apply position, size and Orientation before, also comprise:
According to described printer model file, determine described at least one parts that need support in described object in described print procedure.

Fig. 2 A, 2B are respectively in the application in print procedure not a kind of schematic diagram of the required support force of parts in the same time.It should be noted that, in Fig. 2 A, 2B, only illustrate with vertical two dimensional surface, and do not mean that the restriction to the application.Fig. 2 A is the part object printing in moment in the print procedure of described object of determining according to the printer model file of an object (representing with t1), Fig. 2 B is the part object another constantly in described print procedure (representing with t2) that determine according to described printer model file printing, t2>t1, the part object having printed in t1, t2 moment includes parts 1 and parts 2.
As shown in Figure 2 A, in the t1 moment, parts 2 produce stress N1 to parts 1 at adjoiner, N1 is no more than the maximum stress of the parts 2 that determined by structure, material etc. to parts 1, and the gravity of parts 1 is G1, and the distance of the adjoiner of the center of parts 1 and parts 1 and parts 2 is L1, the moment that is the gravity of parts 1 is G1*L1, therefore,, in order to ensure equalising torque, the moment of the required support force T1 of t1 moment parts 1 should equate with the moment G1*L1 of the gravity G1 of parts 1; In addition, taking vertical two dimensional surface as example, suppose that the component of stress N1 on x axle is component on y axle is the component of the required support force of t1 moment parts 1 on x axle is component on y axle is further contemplate the pressure P 1 of t1 moment printing head to the parts 1 of printing, suppose P1 vertically downward,, in order to ensure the stress balance of parts 1, N1, G1, T1, P1 need meet: based on the constraints of above-mentioned equalising torque and stress balance, can determining means 1 apply position, direction and size at required support force T1 of t1 moment; Further, based on the constraints of above-mentioned equalising torque and stress balance, multiple support force T1 may can be determined, the multiple support force T1 that apply position, direction and/or vary in size, correspondingly, can therefrom select a support force T1, alternatively, select a support force T1 who makes stress N1 minimum.Need to illustrate, in some possible scenes: P1 is 0, such as after parts 1 have been printed; And/or N1 is 0, while all also not starting to print without other parts of other parts of adjacency, parts 1 adjacency such as parts 1; And/or parts 1 directly contact with print platform, except above-mentioned various power, parts 1 may also be subject to the support force of print platform.
As shown in Figure 2 B, in the t2 moment, parts 2 produce stress N2 to parts 1 at adjoiner, N2 is no more than the maximum stress of the parts 2 that determined by structure, material etc. to parts 1, and the gravity of parts 1 is G2, and the distance of the adjoiner of the center of parts 1 and parts 1 and parts 2 is L2, the moment that is the gravity of parts 1 is G2*L2, therefore,, in order to ensure equalising torque, the moment of the required support force T2 of t2 moment parts 1 should equate with the moment G2*L2 of the gravity G2 of parts 1; In addition, taking vertical two dimensional surface as example, suppose that the component of stress N2 on x axle is component on y axle is the component of the required support force of t2 moment parts 1 on x axle is component on y axle is further contemplate the pressure P 2 of t2 moment printing head to the parts 1 of printing, suppose P2 vertically downward,, in order to ensure the stress balance of parts 1, N2, G2, T2, P2 need meet: based on the constraints of above-mentioned equalising torque and stress balance, can determining means 1 apply position, direction and size at required support force T2 of t2 moment; Further, based on the constraints of above-mentioned equalising torque and stress balance, multiple support force T2 may can be determined, the multiple support force T2 that apply position, direction and/or vary in size, correspondingly, can therefrom select a support force T2, alternatively, select a support force T2 who makes stress N2 minimum.Need to illustrate, in some possible scenes: P2 is 0, such as after parts 1 have been printed; And/or N2 is 0, while all also not starting to print without other parts of other parts of adjacency, parts 1 adjacency such as parts 1; And/or parts 1 directly contact with print platform, except above-mentioned various power, parts 1 may also be subject to the support force of print platform.
Comparison diagram 2A, 2B can find out, due to the parts 1 in t2 moment than the parts in t1 moment more than 1 the first half, in the gravity increase of parts 1 and center of gravity, move, be G2>G1 and L2>L1, therefore, parts 1 are greater than the moment of parts 1 at required support force T1 of t1 moment in the moment of required support force T2 of t2 moment, correspondingly, than parts 1 required support force T1 of t1 moment apply position, direction and size, parts 1 apply position, direction and/or size and can change required support force T2's of t2 moment.
In the present embodiment, described contactless bracing or strutting arrangement has multiple implementation.
In a kind of optional implementation of contactless bracing or strutting arrangement, described contactless bracing or strutting arrangement comprises: for an electrifying device of powering on to described at least one parts and at least one pair of pole plate being arranged on around print area.
Wherein, described print area refers to the region that at least one printing head in 3D printer can move at print procedure.
In the optional implementation of this contactless bracing or strutting arrangement, correspondingly, control described contactless bracing or strutting arrangement provides the active force that meets described required support force also to have multiple implementation to described at least one parts in described print procedure.
In a kind of optional implementation of control, describedly at least apply position, size and Orientation according to described required support force, control a contactless bracing or strutting arrangement and provide to described at least one parts the active force that meets described required support force in described print procedure, comprising:
