Coated Panel Manufacturing With Stacked Inkjet Print Layers

The patent applies dimensionality change by transitioning from a single two-dimensional print layer to multiple stacked print layers. This allows the creation of three-dimensional protrusions with varying heights and complex geometries. Each print layer contributes to building up the structure vertically, enabling acute angles and deep features that cannot be achieved with a single layer, while maintaining alignment through registration marks and templates.

The patent segments the structure formation process into multiple discrete print layers, each contributing a portion of the final three-dimensional structure. This segmentation allows each layer to be printed with precise geometric control, avoiding the rounded portions that occur in single-layer printing. The stacked layers can be designed with acute angles and deep features, and their cumulative effect creates the desired complex shape with high manufacturing precision through proper registration.

The patent implements preliminary action by incorporating registration marks and alignment features into each print layer before the actual structure printing. These preliminary elements are used to establish precise registration between layers, ensuring that the complex multi-layer structure maintains accurate alignment. The template-based approach allows depth resolution to be enhanced through multiple layers while the preliminary alignment features prevent registration errors from compromising the final structure.
