METHOD OF PROCESSING AND STORING CONTROL PROCESS PARAMETERS OF A 3D PRINTER

Abstract

A method of processing and storing control process parameters of a 3D printer is disclosed. The processed data are converted into a binary file located in the PC, and then the contents of a binary file is transferred to the printer data memory. The printer controller performs the execution of the program contained in the read-only memory of the printer controller by generating signals for printer actuators based on the numbers, in the integer form, downloaded from the data memory.

Claims

1. A method of processing and storing control process parameters of a 3D printer comprising the development of an object shape in the form of graphics programs or development and storing a text file in G-code and delivering the processed data to the printer controller memory, wherein the processed data are converted into a binary file located in the PC, then the contents of a binary file is transferred to the printer data memory; the printer controller performs the execution of the program contained in the read-only memory of the printer controller by generating signals for printer actuators based on the numbers, in the integer form, downloaded from the data memory.

Description

[0008] The invention will be illustrated in the embodiments on drawings.

[0009] FIG. 1 shows the method of processing and storing control process parameters of a 3D printer using G-code and FIG. 2 shows the method of processing and storing control process parameters of a 3D printer using the AutoCAD graphics program.

EXAMPLE 1

[0010] A method of processing and storing the 3D printer control process parameters is to develop a 3D shape of an object as a text file 1 in G-code and then transfer the processed data to a binary file 2 located in the PC. The contents of a binary file 2 is then converted to the data memory 3 of the printer and the printer controller 4 performs the execution of the program contained in the read-only memory 5 (ROM) of the printer controller 4 by generating signals for printer actuators 6 based on the numbers, in the integer form, downloaded from the data memory 7.

EXAMPLE 2

[0011] A method of processing and recording the 3D printer control process parameters is to develop a shape of an object as a AutoCAD graphics program file 8, then the processed data are sent to a binary file 2 located in the PC. The contents of a binary file 2 is converted to the data memory of the printer 3 and then the printer controller 4 performs the execution of the program contained in the read-only memory 5 (ROM) of the printer controller 4 by generating signals for printer actuators 6 based on the numbers, in the integer form, downloaded from the data memory 7.
