Example one
The embodiment of the invention provides a 3D printing layering method which is suitable for layering a three-dimensional model of a target object in 3D printing. In the three-dimensional model of the target object, the gradient of the edge pixel points reflects the color change degree of the surface of the object, and the thickness of the layer is determined by utilizing the gradient of the edge pixel points in the stacking direction.
Referring to fig. 1, the method specifically includes the following steps:
s1: acquiring the gradient of edge pixel points of the to-be-printed sliced layer in the stacking direction, and recording as the pixel gradient of the to-be-printed sliced layer;
as shown in fig. 2, coordinate axes of a coordinate system where a three-dimensional model 1 of a target object to be printed is located are x, y, z, and z-axis directions are stacking directions of sliced layers when 3D printing of the three-dimensional model of the target object is performed.
For a certain pixel point P (x, y, z), the gradient in the x, y, z direction can be expressed as follows:
Figure BDA0003109090300000061
where f is a pixel value function, and f (x, y, z) refers to a pixel value of a pixel with coordinates (x, y, z) (where the pixel value includes but is not limited to RGB value, LAB value, and other values in different color spaces, that is, the pixel value of the pixel here may be represented by RBG value, LAB value, CMYK value, and the like). The function f can be formed by fitting coordinate values of all pixel points in a three-dimensional model of the target object and corresponding pixel values, because the pixel points are discrete variables, f is a three-dimensional discrete function, and the gradient of the pixel points in the z-axis direction is calculated as follows:
Figure BDA0003109090300000062
will be provided with
Figure BDA0003109090300000063
Is recorded as the pixel gradient of the slice layer to be printed when
Figure BDA0003109090300000064
The larger the image is, the higher the color mutation degree of the area where the pixel point is located along the z-axis direction is, the larger the color information amount is, the more the color details are, and high-precision printing is required; on the contrary, the method can be used for carrying out the following steps,
Figure BDA0003109090300000065
the smaller the color variation, the more uniform the overall color distribution, the single trend of color details and the low requirement on printing precision.
As shown in fig. 2, the edge pixel point 2 is a pixel point located on the outer surface of the three-dimensional model of the target object, and the gradient of the edge pixel point in the z-axis direction also shows the degree of change of the surface of the three-dimensional model of the target object along the z-axis direction (stacking direction).
Before the gradient of the edge pixel point of the to-be-printed sliced layer in the stacking direction is acquired, the edge pixel point of the to-be-printed sliced layer needs to be acquired, and the method specifically comprises the following steps:
acquiring a layer image of a sliced layer to be printed, wherein the layer image consists of a plurality of pixel points;
and acquiring edge pixel points of the to-be-printed sliced layer according to the layer image of the to-be-printed sliced layer.
The three-mode model of the target object is sliced, and a layer image of a sliced layer can be obtained, wherein the layer image is a two-dimensional image and consists of a plurality of pixel points, and the information of each pixel point comprises the coordinate value (position information) and the pixel value (color information) of the pixel point. For example, in the three-dimensional model of the target object shown in fig. 2, the layer image of a certain slice layer to be printed is shown in fig. 3, the edge pixel of the slice layer to be printed is shown as a black dot in fig. 3, and the edge pixel Q (0, 0) has a coordinate value of (0, 0), and the pixel value can be obtained according to the f pixel value function, i.e., f (0,0, z), where z is a coordinate value of the slice layer to be printed on the z axis.
In one embodiment, acquiring the gradient of edge pixel points of the to-be-printed sliced layer in the stacking direction includes:
obtaining coordinate values in edge pixel points of the to-be-printed sliced layer;
acquiring the pixel value of the edge pixel point;
and determining the gradient of the edge pixel points in the stacking direction according to the coordinate values and the pixel values.
Specifically, the pixel value f (x, y, z) of the edge pixel point is determined according to the coordinate value (x, y, z) of the edge pixel point and according to the pixel value function f, and then according to the formula:
Figure BDA0003109090300000071
and solving the gradient of the edge pixel points along the z-axis direction.
In another embodiment, acquiring the gradient of edge pixel points of the to-be-printed sliced layer in the stacking direction includes:
obtaining coordinate values and pixel values of all edge pixel points of the to-be-printed sliced layer;
determining gradients of all edge pixel points in the stacking direction;
obtaining the maximum value of the gradients of all edge pixel points;
and recording the maximum value as the pixel gradient of the slice layer to be printed.
Since each slice layer may include a plurality of edge pixels, the slice layer shown in fig. 3 includes a plurality of edge pixels such as 2, 3, and 4 … …. The gradient of all pixel points in the to-be-printed slice layer can be obtained, and the maximum gradient value is selected as the pixel gradient of the to-be-printed slice layer.
S2: determining the thickness of the to-be-printed sliced layer according to the pixel gradient of the to-be-printed sliced layer;
since the larger the gradient, the more color detail, and the higher the printing accuracy is required, the layer thickness is to be made as small as possible; conversely, the smaller the gradient, the lower the color change degree, the single color detail trend, the lower the printing precision requirement, and the larger the layer thickness. According to the method, a gradient and layer thickness mapping relation can be set, the mapping can be one-to-one mapping (one gradient value maps one thickness value) or many-to-one mapping (several similar gradient values map one thickness value), and then according to the mapping relation, the layer thickness of the to-be-printed sliced layer is determined after the gradient of the edge pixel point of the to-be-printed sliced layer (pixel gradient of the to-be-printed sliced layer) is obtained.
In one embodiment, an optimal many-to-one mapping relationship between the gradient and the layer thickness can be obtained through repeated experiments, that is, a plurality of gradient intervals are set, one gradient interval maps one thickness, and then the corresponding layer thickness is obtained according to the gradient interval where the pixel gradient of the slice layer to be printed is located.
Illustratively, the combination of setting the gradient thresholds is { G }1,G2,G3The gradient of the pixels of the sliced layer to be printed is

Wherein G is1<G2<G3,T4<T3<T2<T1
And determining the layer thickness according to the interval where the pixel gradient of the to-be-printed sliced layer is located according to the mapping relation.
In another embodiment, a mapping table (both the gradient and the layer thickness are discrete) is established by obtaining an optimal one-to-one mapping relationship between the gradient and the layer thickness through repeated experiments, after obtaining the pixel gradient of the to-be-printed slice layer, a gradient value with the smallest difference with the pixel gradient of the to-be-printed slice layer in the mapping table is searched, and the layer thickness is determined according to the mapping relationship.
In another embodiment, the following mapping function is used to obtain the layer thicknesses:
y=axn
wherein y is the layer thickness, x is the gradient of the edge pixel point in the stacking direction (the gradient of the pixel of the slice layer to be printed), a is a preset coefficient, n is a preset index, and a and n are real numbers. Because the larger the gradient, the smaller the layer thickness; the smaller the gradient, the larger the layer thickness, the inverse correlation between the gradient and the thickness can be determined, so that the value of n is negative. The values of a and n can be obtained through repeated experiments according to actual printing application, and are not limited herein. In addition, adjustments are made based on this mapping function, such as: y is axn+ c (where c is a real number), etc., all without departing from the scope of the invention.
S3: the layering was done according to layer thickness.
And after the layer thickness of the sliced layer to be printed is obtained, layering is carried out according to the layer thickness.
In the embodiment, the gradient of edge pixel points of a to-be-printed cut sheet layer in the stacking direction is obtained; and determining the thickness of the layer according to the gradient to perform layering, namely calculating the thickness of the current to-be-printed sliced layer before printing the to-be-printed sliced layer each time, so as to adjust the thickness of each layer in real time.
In another embodiment, gradients of all edge pixel values of the target object can be obtained, the layer thickness of each slice layer is determined according to the gradients of the edge pixel points, and the target object is layered according to the layer thickness of each slice layer. The method comprises the following specific steps:
acquiring gradients of all edge pixel points of a target object to be printed in the stacking direction to obtain a plurality of gradient values;
determining the layering number of the cutting layers of the target object to be printed and the layer thickness of each cutting layer according to the gradient values;
and layering the target object according to the number of layering layers and the layer thickness of each layer.
Specifically, coordinate values and pixel values of all edge pixel points in a target object are obtained, a pixel value function f is fitted, gradients of all edge pixel points in the z-axis direction (stacking direction) are determined according to the function f, different layering thicknesses are divided according to the gradient of each edge pixel point, and then layering is performed according to the thicknesses.
Preferably, when the region that the great edge pixel point of corresponding gradient was located carries out the layering, the section layer thickness just is littleer, and layering quantity is more, when the region that the less edge pixel point of corresponding gradient was located carries out the layering, and the slice layer thickness is big more, and layering quantity is less to can realize that the place slice layer thickness that changes abundantly in color is littleer, and the layering is more, print more meticulously, can embody the surface detail of target object better, guarantee to print the quality, realize again that it is big to change single place slice layer thickness in color, improve printing efficiency.
For example, in a certain area on the surface of the target object, the color of the area changes from red to blue and then changes to yellow, when layering is carried out in the area, the thickness of the slicing layer is smaller, and the layering quantity is larger, so that the details of the color change can be better reflected; and the corresponding other area is single red in color, so that the area is layered, the thickness of the slicing layer can be written in a capitalized mode, and the number of layered areas is small, so that the printing efficiency is ensured.
In summary, the 3D printing layering processing method provided in the embodiment of the present invention determines the layer thickness according to the gradient of the edge pixel point of the sliced layer to be printed, and for the area with a larger gradient, a smaller layer thickness is used to achieve better detailed representation, and for the area with a smaller gradient, a larger layer thickness is used to increase the working efficiency, and at the same time, ensure the printing quality and the printing efficiency.

s112: and determining the consumable quantity required by printing the to-be-printed sliced layer according to the ratio relation between the layer thickness of the current printed sliced layer and the layer thickness of the to-be-printed sliced layer.
Illustratively, assuming that the layer thickness of the currently printed cut sheet layer is T0, the amount of consumable material required to print the cut sheet layer is A0(ii) a The thickness of the to-be-printed sliced layer is T, the thickness of the to-be-printed sliced layer is A, and then the current printed sliced layer is printedDetermining the ratio relation between the layer thickness of the cutting layer and the layer thickness of the cutting layer to be printed, wherein the consumable quantity A required by printing the cutting layer to be printed is as follows:
Figure BDA0003109090300000111
