A Design And Implementation Method Of Daily Ceramic Mould Based On Reverse Engineering

As an important part of Chinese traditional culture,ceramics have been around the world for many years.Among them,the daily ceramic manufacturing industry is large scale and has a long history.Chinese daily ceramic production has been accumulated by generations of long-term practical experience,and is already world-renown.However,with the sustained development of science and technology,China’s ceramic industry has to introduce new technologies and upgrade manufacturing processes to maintain its influence.The high-volume production of daily ceramic products needs to be realized by complicated and exquisite mould.Therefore,the design and manufacture of ceramic mould plays a very important role in the ceramic industry.The quality of ceramic moulds determines the quality of ceramic products.At present,Chinese ceramic research in complex ceramic products is in low level.The development of new products haven’t used the advanced design and manufacturing technology.Most of the product manufacturing is done by hand,and the early mold manufacturing workload is large and the product quality is too dependent on the experience and technology of the designer.With the gradual implementation of China’s 2025 plan to manufacture,the manufacturing industry begin to develop rapidly in the direction of network and intelligence.advanced design and manufacturing techniques in mechanical,electrical,automotive and other industries have been widely used.Reverse engineering,rapid prototyping and other advanced design and manufacturing techniques also have some application value in the field of daily ceramic mold manufacturing.Aiming at the problem that manufacturing cycle is too long in domestic ceramics industry mold design process at present,this paper adopting the advanced manufacturing technology of reverse engineering and rapid prototyping method,combining the bas-relief algorithm,propose a design and implementation method of daily ceramic mould based on reverse engineering.First,a 3d scanner is used to scan the daily ceramic mold,and then the ceramic mold point cloud data is stored and output in STL format.With the help of reverse engineering software,the point cloud data is processed to form a three-dimensional mesh model with better quality,which is ready for the implementation of the following bas-relief algorithm.Secondly,using repaired ceramic mold cup three-dimensional grid model as the carrier,according to the artists create relief process,applying a 3d surface bas-relief generation algorithm based on single image,from an image reconstruct its relief model from an image,obtaining its depth information,and then the relief depth information is added to the model by applying the principle of texture mapping.Finally,after setting and optimizing the process parameters such as the temperature,nozzle diameter and support,3D printer is used to process the reverse ceramic products.This paper taking a ceramic mold cup as example,according to the above proposed a design and implementation method of daily ceramic mould,reconstructed a cartoon banana tree image into plane relief model,and added it to the ceramic cup,forming a new ceramic cup 3d model.With the help of a 3d printer,we have successfully printed a new ceramic cup model.The new ceramic design and production system not only shortens the traditional ceramic mold production cycle,and has made ceramic mold designers design work conveniently,promoting the development of the ceramic industry.
