  • Method for producing a three-dimensional element on a timepiece component
    Patent number: 11931963
    Abstract: A method for producing a three-dimensional element on a timepiece component, in particular on a dial, that includes generating, by means of a control unit, at least one control instruction for a printing device for reproducing a reference digital graphical representation relating to said three-dimensional element, and constructing, by means of the printing device, at least two substantially superimposed or superimposed layers each having at least one particle which is printed on the timepiece component and which forms the three-dimensional element.

  • METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A DIAL COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE THREE-DIMENSIONAL ELEMENT
    Publication number: 20200338809
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a dial (11) comprising at least one three-dimensional element (30), the method comprising the following steps of: generating (44), by means of a control unit (2), at least one control command for a printing device (3) for reproducing a reference digital graphical representation (9a) relating to said dial (11) provided with at least one three-dimensional element (30), and constructing (45), by means of the printing device (3), at least two superimposed layers comprising printed particles on a support element forming said dial (11), and removing (52) the dial (11) from said support element.

  • METHOD FOR PRODUCING A FUNCTIONAL ELEMENT ON A TIMEPIECE COMPONENT
    Publication number: 20190187620
    Abstract: A method for producing a functional element on a timepiece component, including generating, with a control unit, at least one control command for a printing device intended to reproduce a reference digital graphical representation relating to the functional element; and constructing, with the printing device, at least one layer of at least one functional particle printed on the timepiece component so as to form the functional element.
