Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a 3D printer,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a 3D printer generating apparatus and method, and more particularly, to a 3D printer generating apparatus and method capable of easily modeling a 3D printer object so that a 3D printer object can be easily accessed by both a user and an administrator .

The day is coming up to make the order on the spot at the internet shopping mall. Just like buying a photo or sheet music and printing it on a printer, you download a design for a product such as a bicycle, a bowl, shoes, a toy, or a chair and print it in three dimensions. This is a 3D printer.

The printer we know so far is a machine that draws letters and pictures on paper on paper. When you open a text or photo file and press the "Print" button, the 3D printer looks at the 3D design drawn by the specific software and prints the three-dimensional object.

The purpose of creating such a 3D printer was to make a prototype before releasing the product. By creating prototypes that look equally as cheap and easy to mold, you can see what's wrong with the actual product. For example, if you find a problem with a product before commodifying it, you should fix it and re-evaluate the issue.

By the way, if you make a ballpoint pen every time you evaluate it, it takes a lot of money and time. Holding a prototype that looks exactly the same as a ballpoint pen, I pressed the button and pressed it on the paper to find out if it was easy to hold, whether it came out smoothly, and whether the ink was coming out properly. For this reason 3D printers have been developed.

However, most of the tools for producing 3D printers are complicated and provide a tool environment that is inconvenient for users and administrators. Therefore, it is required to develop a tool that can easily know the process of 3D printing by both the administrator and the user.

5 is a flowchart exemplarily showing a 3D printer method (S100) using the 3D printer generating apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can easily carry out the present invention. In the drawings, like reference numerals refer to the same or similar functions throughout the several views.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of an apparatus 100 for generating a 3D printer according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG.

1, the 3D printer generating apparatus 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a vertex generating unit 110, a polygon generating unit 120, a mesh modeling unit 130, and a 3D viewer display unit 140 And a color driving screen unit 150.

First, the vertex generating unit 110 according to the present invention recognizes point units of a 3D printer object attached to the web and generates vertex information including position, color, and normal. At this time, the vertex information corresponds to the X, Y coordinate values of the 2D point, and it contains various information such as position, color and normal line formed by point units, unlike the X, Y coordinate values of the 2D point. This point unit vertex information is referred to as a vertex.

Next, the polygon generation unit 120 according to the present invention generates polygon information in units of a predetermined number of vertex information generated by the vertex generation unit 110.

In other words, a minimum surface unit line and lines are gathered to form polygon information. For example, if three vertices of a vertex are gathered, a minimum one plane unit is formed, which is referred to as a polygon.

Next, the mesh modeling unit 130 according to the present invention combines the polygon information of the surface units generated by the polygon generation unit 120 to generate a 3D object on the three-dimensional space.

In other words, when the polygons are gathered, they make faces at least in 3D space. However, polygons alone are not enough to create complicated objects in three-dimensional space. Therefore, when a polygon is assembled into a single mass of objects, this becomes a 3D object. Such a 3D object (3D object) is referred to as a mesh.

Finally, the 3D viewer display unit 140 according to the present invention displays the 3D object generated by the mesh modeling unit 130 in the form of a 3D viewer (101 in FIG. 2D) on the display screen. The configuration of the display screen displaying the 3D viewer form can be shown in Figs. 2A to 2E. The display screen 100A shown in FIGS. 2A to 2F displays the 3D printer object attached to the web on the basis of the final generated by driving the vertex generating unit 110, the polygon generating unit 120 and the mesh modeling unit 130, The 3D object 101 of the 3D viewer is raised.

The display screen 100A further includes a color driving screen unit 150 for modeling each 3D object 101 of the 3D viewer generated by the 3D viewer display unit 140 with different colors. The color driving screen unit 150 displays color buttons that are interlocked with different colors on the display screen 100A. Accordingly, if the corresponding color button is depressed, the 3D object 101 of the 3D viewer of the black and white will be transformed according to the color, and a more stereoscopic image can be seen.

Although the environment for managing and designing by the administrator has been described above, it is possible to further provide an interface environment from the user's point of view. To this end, the 3D printer generating apparatus 100 according to the present invention further includes a 3D screen unit.

Hereinafter, the 3D screen unit will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.

FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are views showing the configuration of the user 3D screen unit 160 according to an embodiment of the present invention in more detail.

3 and 4, a user 3D screen unit 160 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a vertex generating unit 110, a polygon generating unit 120, The mesh modeling unit 130, and the 3D viewer display unit 140, the 3D object 101 of the 3D viewer is displayed on the display screen.

In order to freely adjust and observe the 3D object 101 of the 3D viewer viewed or modeled more conveniently from the user's point of view, the user 3D screen unit 160 according to the present invention includes a preview button unit 161 And a 3D viewer calling unit 162. [

The preview button unit 161 according to the present invention performs a function of selecting and previewing a file list including the attached 3D printer object 101. [ If the preview function is performed in this way, the 3D viewer calling unit 162 according to the present invention may call a JavaScript function button previously defined in the HTML source according to the client and message delivery method of the 3D viewer, And then delivered to the 3D viewer.

 Therefore, the 3D object 101 of the 3D viewer can be displayed on the display screen. Here, a call to a JavaScript function button is generated by the following programming operation: </ script>

        <script type = "text / javascript" language = "javascript">

        <! -

            // initializing the WebPlayer

            var u = new UnityObject2 ();

  u.initPlugin (jQuery ("# unityPlayer") [0], "WebView_TestBuild.unity3d");

            function SaySomethingToUnity ()

            {

              u.getUnity (). SendMessage ("MyObject", "MyFunction", "Hello from a web page!");

            }

            ->

        </ script>

Meanwhile, the user 3D screen unit 160 according to the present invention may further provide various types of user-friendly interface environment so that the user can freely change or view the 3D object 101 of the 3D viewer on the display screen . For example, a 3D viewer button for viewing various characters, a link button, a content creation space for requesting, and a video link button may be further provided.

At this time, the vertex information corresponds to the X, Y coordinate values of the 2D point, and it contains various information such as position, color and normal line formed by point units, unlike the X, Y coordinate values of the 2D point. This point unit vertex information is referred to as a vertex.

Then, the 3D printer method S100 according to the present invention generates polygon information in units of polygons in units of a predetermined number of vertex information generated in operation S110 (S120). In other words, a minimum surface unit line and lines are gathered to form polygon information. For example, if three vertices of a vertex are gathered, a minimum one plane unit is formed, which is referred to as a polygon.

Then, the 3D printer method S100 according to the present invention combines the polygon information generated in operation S120 and creates a 3D object on the 3D space in the mesh modeling unit 130 (S130).

In other words, when the polygons are gathered, they make faces at least in 3D space. However, polygons alone are not enough to create complicated objects in three-dimensional space. Therefore, when a polygon is assembled into a single mass of objects, this becomes a 3D object. Such a 3D object (3D object) is referred to as a mesh.

Then, the 3D printer method S100 according to the present invention displays the 3D object generated in step S130 on the display screen in the form of a 3D viewer at step S140. The configuration of the display screen displaying the 3D viewer form can be shown in Figs. 2A to 2F.

The display screen 100A further includes a color driving screen unit 150 for modeling each 3D object 101 of the 3D viewer generated by the 3D viewer display unit 140 with different colors. The driving screen unit 150 displays color buttons that are interlocked with different colors on the display screen 100A. Accordingly, if the corresponding color button is depressed, the 3D object 101 of the 3D viewer of the black and white will be transformed according to the color, and a more stereoscopic image can be seen.

Then, the 3D printer method S100 according to the present invention applies different colors to 3D objects of the 3D viewer displayed on the display screen 100A and models them on the color driving screen unit 150 (S150). At this time, Modeling is modeled using color buttons (S150). Accordingly, if the corresponding color button is depressed, the 3D object 101 of the 3D viewer of the black and white will be transformed according to the color, and a more stereoscopic image can be seen.

Then, the 3D printer method S100 according to the present invention selects and previews the file list having the attached 3D printer object through the user 3D screen unit 150 for attaching the 3D printer object on the web (S160) . This preview function is performed by the preview button unit 161. [

In addition, the 3D printer method (SlOO) according to the present invention transmits the 3D printer method (S100) to the 3D viewer according to a preview event in accordance with a client of the 3D viewer and a message transmission method, S170). This function is performed by the 3D viewer calling unit 162 described in Figs. 1 to 4 above.

As described above, in the present embodiment, 3D modeling through a 3D printer, which is convenient for the user, is implemented on the web, so that the user can easily view the corresponding object by 3D modeling.
