摘要: A three-dimensional object printing apparatus includes a head that discharges a liquid to a three-dimensional workpiece, and a robot that includes an arm and a base portion coupled to one end of the arm, and changes relative positions of the workpiece and the head. The arm includes a plurality of joints and a tip portion that is the other end of the arm and supports the head, a first printing operation in which the robot moves a position of the head while the liquid is discharged from the head is executed, and the head moves away from the base portion during the execution of the first printing operation.

摘要: A three-dimensional object printing apparatus includes a head that discharges a liquid, and a robot that changes relative positions and poses of a workpiece and the head. A first speed adjustment operation in which a moving speed adjusted while the robot moves a position of the head from a printing preparation position toward a printing start position closer to the print region than the printing preparation position, and a printing operation in which the head starts discharging the liquid at the printing start position and the robot changes a position and a pose of the head while the liquid is discharged from the head are executed, and an amount of change in the pose of the head per unit period during the first speed adjustment operation is less than an amount of change in the pose of the head per unit period during the printing operation.

摘要: A three-dimensional object printing apparatus includes: a liquid discharging head that discharges liquid to a three-dimensional workpiece; a robot that has N movable portions and that changes a relative position of the liquid discharging head with respect to the workpiece, where N is a natural number greater than or equal to 2; and N encoders provided for the N movable portions to measure amounts of operations of the N movable portions, respectively. Correspondence information regarding a correspondence relationship between an output from a first encoder and a time during operation of the robot is stored. The first encoder is one of the N encoders. Discharging operation of the liquid discharging head is controlled based on an output from the first encoder and the correspondence information, while the robot is operated.
