Abstract

The method for calibrating the positions of the printing head and the workpiece plane comprises the following steps: (S1) establishing a relationship between pixel coordinates and physical coordinates according to a position relationship between a calibrated printing datum point and the workpiece plane; (S2) printing points are formed on the plane of the workpiece, and the position relation between the printing points and the cross center of the camera is calibrated according to the printing points; (S3) calibrating the position relation with the center of a light spot of the laser height measurement sensor; and (S4) calibrating the position relation between the Z axis and the surface of the product.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of 3D printing equipment, and particularly relates to a method for calibrating the plane positions of a printing head and a workpiece. Background technique [0002] 3D printing is a rapid prototyping technology that builds objects by layer-by-layer printing using bondable materials such as powdered metal or plastic based on digital model files. With the rapid development of the 3D printing industry, the demand for 3D printers is also increasing. When the 3D printer is used in specific occasions, the accuracy requirements of the model printed by the 3D printer are more stringent. If the deviation of the printed model is not found in time during the printing process, not only the printed product cannot be used, but also the printing materials and materials are wasted. Time; at present, the position calibration between the various parts of 3D printing equipment on the market is inaccurate, which affects the pr...
