Color three dimension curved surface ink jet printing method
Technical field
The present invention relates to ink-jet printing field, in particular to a kind of color three dimension curved surface ink jet printing method.
Background technology
Traditional printing methods, by squeegee pressure ink printing figure message, such as offset printing, gravure, convex print planographic are shifted
Method, it is difficult to directly print the object with three-dimension curved surface.Have that efficiency is low, cost of labor is high etc. using artificial method for drafting to lack
Point.Need to prepare printing plate using the method for transfer, it is impossible to realize variable graphic data printing.Ink jet printing is with its noncontact, nothing
The feature of squeegee pressure provides possibility for three-dimensional body printing.
European patent EP 1918113A2 and Chinese patent CN101259800A propose a kind of 3 D-printing method:Shower nozzle
Move along Y direction, sports platform is moved along X-axis with Z axis, and rotate along A axles and B axle.Shower nozzle routing motion platform is same in the method
Shi Yundong, realizes object dimensional inkjet printing.Chinese patent CN102173211A proposes a kind of five-axis linkage three-dimensional
Method of printing, shower nozzle can do plane motion in X-direction and Y-direction, and sports platform is for linear motion in Z-direction, and can along Z axis and
Its normal direction rotation.《Three-dimensional spray-painting robot ink-jet study mechanism》(Chen Xinwei, Nankai University, Master's thesis, 2009.) carry
The three-dimensional spray-painting robot for going out, shower nozzle is moved in X direction with Z-direction, and motion platform is moved along Y-axis realizes that three-dimensional map air brushing is imitated
Really.More than in several three dimensional ink jet Method of printings, shower nozzle ink-jet in linear motion can cause ink droplet in forming process
By the interference of the factors such as inertia force, impact, cause droplet size, ink droplet positioning that randomness change occurs, ultimately cause picture and text essence
Spend not high, misalignment, the not high phenomenon of print speed.Routine business jet size is in Centimeter Level, it is difficult to which printing has big deep
Situations such as footpath ratio, grade small size, variable curvature, concave surface it is complex-curved;In addition small size shower nozzle ink ejection amount is few, carries out big face
Efficiency is too low during product curved surface ink jet printing, it is difficult to practical application.Therefore, there is printing matter in existing three-dimensional body inkjet printing methods
Amount is not high, be difficult to the low problem of the complex-curved, print speed printing speed of printing.
