  • Systems and methods for material dispensing control
    Patent number: 12042816
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a model of the material dispenser and, at a first characterization period of a material bead dispensing operation, communicating, to the material dispenser, a first characterization flow rate input. The method also includes, at a second characterization period of the material bead dispensing operation, communicating, to the material dispenser, a second characterization flow rate input. The method also includes generating, using at least one sensor, three-dimensional data associated with a material bead corresponding to the material bead dispensing operation. The method also includes characterizing at least one parameter of the model of the material dispenser using at least the first characterization flow rate input, the second characterization flow rate input, and the three-dimensional data associated with the material bead.
