Patent number: 11084214Abstract: In a method for providing a three-dimensional object, the method includes the steps of providing a representation of the three-dimensional object; determining a polygon mesh of a polyhedral resembling the object, wherein the polyhedral fits within the object; determining a surface difference between an outer surface of the object and an outer surface of the polyhedral; defining a relief layer corresponding to the polygon mesh based on said surface difference; instructing a printing assembly to provide the relief layer; and folding the relief layer in accordance with the polygon mesh to form the polyhedral resembling the three-dimensional object. Thus, using a printing assembly to print two-dimensional layers, a three-dimensional object may be provided or at least approximated.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2018Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: CANON PRODUCTION PRINTING HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Daniel S. Voina, Violeta Iacob, Dan M. Regep

Patent number: 10967567Abstract: A method of forming a three-dimensional object 38 with a shape determined by model data defining a model 10 of the object, characterized by the steps of: a) splitting the model 10 into a high elevation/low resolution base part 18 and a low elevation/high resolution cover part 20?; b) forming a base body 30 with a shape as determined by the base part 18 of the model; c) employing a 3D printing technique for printing a sheet-like cover body 34 with a shape as determined by the cover part 20? of the model; and d) matching the cover body 34 to the base body 30 by vacuum forming.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2018Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: CANON PRODUCTION PRINTING HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Mircea Nistor, Violeta Iacob

Patent number: 10430126Abstract: In a method for printing a plurality of print jobs on a flat bed printer, each print job specifies an image receiving area with a given shape and given dimensions where an image is to be printed on a recording medium. Each of the print jobs includes a number of sub-jobs specifying image layers to be printed in a predetermined print order, with print settings being individually assigned to each sub-job. The method includes grouping the sub-jobs by their print settings; nesting the image receiving areas of the print jobs on a flat bed of the printer; and printing the sub jobs group by group, with sub-jobs of the same group and from different print jobs being printed in common steps of scanning the flat bed. The scanning steps are performed in a scan order which preserves the print order in each print job.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2018Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: OCÉ HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Violeta Iacob, Radu Vulpe, Daniel Chelaru

Patent number: 10384443Abstract: A flat bed printer includes a flat bed, a print head assembly, a drive system arranged to move the print head assembly over the bed, a controller arranged to control operations of the print head assembly and the drive system, and an obstacle detection system arranged to detect obstacles in a region of movement of the print head assembly. The controller has a split-bed mode of operation in which the movements of the print head assembly are confined to only a part of the bed while another part of the bed is left idle, and the controller is arranged to calculate, when an obstacle is detected in the split-bed mode of operation, an expected time to collision after which the print head assembly will collide with the obstacle.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2017Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: OCÉ HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Daniel-Samuil Voina, Violeta Iacob
