[0062] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, it shows a method flow chart of a non-planar printing path planning method provided by an embodiment of the present application, and the non-planar printing path planning method can be applied to a computer device. The non-planar printing path planning method may include:

[0064] Step 101: Obtain a single-layer object model to be printed.

[0065] The computer device may obtain a single-layer object model input by a user, where the single-layer object model may be a 3D model of any shape.

[0066] Step 102: Generate a first printing path for the single-layer object model.

[0067] The computer device can generate distance field values based on the single-layer object model, and then generate equally divided contour lines based on the distance field values, and use the equally divided contour lines to form a non-planar first printing path on the surface of the single-layer object model.

[0068] Step 103: generating a compensation path according to the sparse portion in the first printing path.

[0069] The computer device can search for sparse areas in the first printing path, and add some equally divided contour lines in the sparse areas to form a compensation path.

[0070] Step 104 : uniformizing the compensation path using a dynamic model to obtain a second printing path. The second printing path tends to be uniformly distributed in distance during the simulated extrusion process.

[0071] In the compensation path, the distances between its parts are too close. The computer equipment needs to use Kangaroo, a dynamic simulation plug-in of Grasshopper, to simulate the path generation and make the path uniform.

[0072] Step 105 : Determine the printing direction of each node on the second printing path to obtain a final non-planar printing path.

[0073] The computer device can form the printing direction of each node on the path according to the specific situation of the single-layer object model, and then connect the paths from beginning to end according to the printing direction to form the final non-planar printing path.

[0074] In summary, the non-planar printing path planning method provided in the embodiment of the present application forms a non-planar first printing path on the surface of a single-layer object model, forms a compensation path in the sparse parts of the first printing path, and homogenizes the compensation path based on dynamic simulation to ensure that the non-planar printing process is uniformly printed under the premise that the path direction and the surface direction are consistent, thereby optimizing the printing effect.

[0075] like Figure 2 FIG2 shows a flow chart of a method for planning a non-planar printing path according to an embodiment of the present application, which can be applied to a computer device. The method for planning a non-planar printing path may include:

[0076] Step 201: Obtain a single-layer object model to be printed.

[0077] The computer device may obtain a single-layer object model input by a user, where the single-layer object model may be a 3D model of any shape.

[0078] Step 202: Generate a first printing path for the single-layer object model.

[0079] The computer device can generate distance field values based on the single-layer object model, and then generate equally divided contour lines based on the distance field values, and use the equally divided contour lines to form a non-planar first printing path on the surface of the single-layer object model.

[0080] Specifically, generating a first printing path for a single-layer object model may include the following sub-steps:

[0081] (1) Uniformly triangulate the single-layer object model and generate a distance field function for each vertex of the mesh.

[0082] Taking a single-layer object model as Figure 3 Taking (a) as an example, we evenly triangulate it and get Figure 3 (b).

[0083] Generating a distance field function for each vertex of the mesh may include: obtaining the upper and lower edges of the meshed single-layer object model; calculating, for each vertex in the mesh, the shortest distance from the vertex to the upper and lower edges along the mesh line; and calculating the distance field value corresponding to each vertex based on the shortest distance to obtain the distance field function.

[0084] like Figure 3 As shown in (c), assuming that the upper edge includes Cy1 and Cy2, the lower edge includes Cx1, and a vertex in the grid is recorded as Vi, then the shortest distance x from Vi to the upper and lower edges along the grid line can be calculated. i and y i , calculate the distance field value corresponding to Vi according to the following formula:

[0085] in,

[0086] The discrete distance field value is mapped to each vertex to obtain the distance field function.

[0087] Optionally, the computer device may also convert the distance field function value into a color label, that is, form an image of an approximate surface distance field u on the mesh surface, such as Figure 3 (d) shown.

[0088] (2) Use the interpolation method to extract the equally divided contour lines of the distance field function.

[0089] Among them, using the interpolation method to extract the equally divided contour lines of the distance field function can include: dividing the predetermined constant value into N equal parts to obtain N+1 values, N≥1; for each value, searching for a line segment in the first printing path whose distance field function values at two endpoints are between the values, using the interpolation method to obtain interpolation points in the line segment, connecting all the interpolation points, and obtaining the equally divided contour lines corresponding to the value.

[0090] Assume that the expected printing layer height is input as h, and the number of printing layers required is Then the equation of the N+1 layer equally divided contour line is obtained:

[0091] When the value When , the computer device can traverse the first printing path and find a line segment whose distance field function values of the two endpoints are between C. That is, the distance field function value of one endpoint of the line segment is ≥ C, and the distance field function value of the other endpoint is ≤ C. Then, the computer device uses the interpolation method to obtain interpolation points in the line segment, connects all the interpolation points, and obtains Similarly, the above method can be used to generate other equally divided contour lines for other values, such as Figure 4 shown.

[0092] Assume that the line segment Px on the grid i Py i Satisfy u(Py i )≥C and u(Px i )≤C, then there exists an interpolation point denoted as Pi, which needs to satisfy:

[0093] Where, (i=0, 1, ..., m).

[0094] (3) Arrange the printing order according to the equally divided isovalue lines to obtain the first printing path.

[0095] When sorting the equally divided contour lines for the first time, set the equally divided contour lines to be printed in the same printing direction as the previous step; when recombining and sorting the equally divided contour lines, the printing order of the sorted equally divided contour lines is arranged according to the rule of the least air time during the printing process, and the first printing path is obtained, such as Figure 5 shown.

[0096] Step 203: Generate a compensation path according to the sparse area in the first printing path.

[0097] The computer device can search for sparse areas in the first printing path, and add some equally divided contour lines in the sparse areas to form a compensation path.

[0098] Specifically, generating a compensation path based on a sparse portion in the first printing path may include: searching for a sparse portion in the first printing path whose distance to the underlying layer is greater than a threshold; forming a double-layer contour line segment at the location of the sparse portion using a distance field function; connecting the contour line segments end to end to form a loop; and connecting and softening the loop according to the direction of the first printing path to obtain a compensation path, such as Figure 6 shown.

[0099] The threshold can be set based on empirical values. For example, if the distance from the lower layer is 2 layers high, it is determined to be a sparse area and an equal-division contour line should be added; if the distance from the lower layer is 1.5 layers high, the need for an equal-division contour line should be re-determined based on the actual printing results.

[0100] In the compensation path, the distances between its parts are too close. The computer equipment needs to use Kangaroo, a dynamic simulation plug-in of Grasshopper, to simulate the path generation and make the path uniform.

[0101] Step 204 : Acquire the compensation path and the path polylines within a certain range around it to obtain a first path polyline.

[0102] In order to reduce the calculation time, the computer device only selects the compensation path and the path polyline within a certain range around it, which is recorded as the first path polyline pathA for calculation, such as Figure 7 The range can be set according to actual needs and will not be described here.

[0103] Step 205 : Acquire other path polylines within a certain range around the first path polyline to obtain a second path polyline. The second path polyline is used to fix the movement range of the first path polyline.

[0104] The second path polyline is the outer polyline of the first path polyline, ensuring that the first path polyline moves within a certain range of motion to avoid affecting other paths. The range can be set according to actual needs and will not be detailed here.

[0105] Step 206 : uniformizing the first path polyline using the dynamic model and the second path polyline to obtain a second printing path. The second printing path tends to be evenly distributed in distance during the simulated extrusion process.

[0106] Specifically, using the dynamic model and the second path polyline to homogenize the first path polyline to obtain the second printing path can include: assigning the "collider" property to the segments and endpoints of the first path polyline and the second path polyline; assigning forces to the nodes on the first path polyline when they approach the mesh surface, where the mesh surface is obtained by triangulating a single-layer object model; assigning angle elasticity to the first path polyline and length elasticity to each of its segments; and using the dynamic model to calculate the assigned first path polyline and the second path polyline to obtain the second printing path.

[0107] During the homogenization process, it is necessary to ensure that the nodes in the second path polyline remain fixed.

[0108] The purpose of assigning the line segments and endpoints of the first path polyline and the second path polyline collider properties is to make the collision body radius related to the printing layer spacing.

[0109] The dynamic simulation plug-in Kangaroo can generate simulation paths based on the above three assignments to make the paths uniform, such as Figure 8 shown.

[0110] Step 207 : Determine the printing direction of each node on the second printing path to obtain a final non-planar printing path.

[0111] The computer device can form the printing direction of each node on the path according to the specific situation of the single-layer object model, and then connect the paths from beginning to end according to the printing direction to form the final non-planar printing path, such as Figure 9 shown.

[0112] In summary, the non-planar printing path planning method provided in the embodiment of the present application forms a non-planar first printing path on the surface of a single-layer object model, forms a compensation path in the sparse parts of the first printing path, and homogenizes the compensation path based on dynamic simulation to ensure that the non-planar printing process is uniformly printed under the premise that the path direction and the surface direction are consistent, thereby optimizing the printing effect.

[0113] The optimization effect of path compensation and homogenization on non-planar printing is verified by quantitative analysis and experimental means.

[0114] for Figure 10 (a) shows the preliminary path of non-planar printing. The frequency distribution of the distances from n equally divided points on the printing path to the path below is obtained. Figure 11 The distance frequency distribution of the preliminary non-planar printing path plan is shown.

[0115] Assuming that the retention ratio of the compensation path is n, the path compensation result is formed ( Figure 10 b, c, d) and homogenization results ( Figure 10 e, f, g), and the frequency distribution is as above ( Figure 12 The frequency of the compensation path decreases significantly over a larger distance range. After uniformization, the distribution of distance values is significantly concentrated within a certain range, demonstrating that the non-planar print path is more uniform. In the above comparison, when n = 2 / 3, the print path uniformity is more ideal.

[0116] Based on the corresponding path compensation and path homogenization results, the printing test results of different types of objects are formed ( Figure 13 ) and print simulation results ( Figure 14 ).
