  • Printing system for printing on a substantially planar surface of a 3D-object and a method for printing thereof
    Patent number: 10239307
    Abstract: A printing system for printing on a substantially planar surface of a 3D-object includes a printer for printing on the planar surface of the 3D-object and a controller configured to control printing of the printer. The printing system further includes a mask generation module configured to generate a mask having the shape of the planar surface from a 3D-model of the 3D-object and to provide the controller with the mask to prevent printing outside the planar surface according to the mask.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for generating prints on a flatbed printer, apparatus therefor and a computer program therefor
    Patent number: 9656492
    Abstract: A flatbed printer and a method for printing with a flatbed printer are disclosed. The flatbed printer includes a flatbed surface for placing media to be printed upon, a controller configured to control the printing of digital images on the media, a camera-projector system connected to the controller and situated above the flatbed surface, and a print head for ejecting recording material on the media. The method includes detecting an arbitrary position, an arbitrary shape, an arbitrary size and/or an arbitrary thickness of a media on the flatbed surface with a camera of the camera-projector system, projecting a digital image on the media with a projector of the camera-projector system, and printing the digital image on the media according to the projection by moving the print head over the flatbed surface.
