摘要: Techniques for determining print quality for a 3D printer are disclosed. An example method includes obtaining an image of a stream of material jetted from a nozzle of the 3D printer, and binarizing the image to distinguish background features from foreground features contained in the image. The method also includes identifying elements of jetted material in the foreground features, and computing statistical data characterizing the identified elements. The method also includes generating a quality score of jetting quality based on the statistical data and controlling the 3D printer based on the quality score. The quality score indicates a degree to which the elements of jetted material form droplets of a same size, shape, alignment, and jetting frequency.

摘要: A three-dimensional (3D) printer includes a nozzle and a camera configured to capture a real image or a real video of a liquid metal while the liquid metal is positioned at least partially within the nozzle. The 3D printer also includes a computing system configured to perform operations. The operations include generating a model of the liquid metal positioned at least partially within the nozzle. The operations also include generating a simulated image or a simulated video of the liquid metal positioned at least partially within the nozzle based at least partially upon the model. The operations also include generating a labeled dataset that comprises the simulated image or the simulated video and a first set of parameters. The operations also include reconstructing the liquid metal in the real image or the real video based at least partially upon the labeled dataset.

摘要: Image processing techniques for determining print quality for a 3D printer are disclosed. An example method includes obtaining an image of material jetted from a nozzle of the 3D printer. The method also includes binarizing the image to distinguish background features from foreground features contained in the image. The method also includes determining, by a processing device, a jetting quality based on the binarized image.

摘要: A method includes defining a model for a liquid while the liquid is positioned at least partially within a nozzle of a printer. The method also includes synthesizing video frames of the liquid using the model to produce synthetic video frames. The method also includes generating a labeled dataset that includes the synthetic video frames and corresponding model values. The method also includes receiving real video frames of the liquid while the liquid is positioned at least partially within the nozzle of the printer. The method also includes generating an inverse mapping from the real video frames to predicted model values using the labeled dataset. The method also includes reconstructing the liquid in the real video frames based at least partially upon the predicted model values.

摘要: Techniques for determining a damping rate of unforced oscillations of a meniscus are disclosed. An example method includes receiving input describing a shape of a container, physical parameters of a liquid inside the container, and an equilibrium shape of the meniscus. The method also includes generating a mesh conforming to the shape of the container and generating a discrete version of a continuous eigenvalue problem based on this mesh. The method also includes computing, at appropriate mesh nodes, values for pressure, velocity components, and meniscus surface deformation corresponding to a suitable number of least-damped late-time oscillation modes of the liquid and computing an angular frequency and damping rate of these least-damped late-time oscillation modes from the discrete version of the continuous eigenvalue problem. The method also includes identifying the mode that has the lowest damping rate and computing a liquid relaxation time by inverting the damping rate of the identified mode.

摘要: Techniques for calibrating a high fidelity (HF) model of molten droplet coalescence are disclosed. An example method includes selecting initial HF parameter values for the HF model. The method also includes iteratively refining the HF parameter values until the HF model converges with experimental data. At each iteration, the HF parameter values are applied to the HF model and a plurality of simulations are run using the HF model to generate the simulated numerical data. For each simulation, a Reduced Order Model (ROM) is fitted to the simulated numerical data to generate ROM parameter values for ROM parameters of the ROM. Correlations between the ROM parameters and the HF parameters are identified to narrow the search space to be searched in a next iteration.

摘要: A drop-on-demand (DOD) printer is disclosed having an ejector which may include a nozzle, the nozzle including a tank in communication with a source of printing material, a constricted dissipative section in communication with the tank, which may include an elongated internal channel, and a shaping tip in communication with the constricted dissipative section which can include an exit orifice. The (DOD) printer also includes a power source configured to supply one or more pulses of power to the ejector, which causes one or more drops of the printing material to be jetted out of the nozzle. The DOD printer may include a constricted dissipative section configured to obstruct fluid flow that is cylindrical or axisymmetric and having a diameter less than a diameter of the tank and less than a diameter of the shaping tip. The DOD printer may include a nozzle or an array of nozzles.
