Decorative geometric textures play an important role in modern design and are widely used in fields such as art,sculpture,and architecture.Wireframe models composed of lines and curves are used to depict the outlines and internal structures of objects.Wireframe models can quickly generate aesthetically valuable patterns and textures,which makes them one of the important means for generating decorative geometric textures.In the context of digital manufacturing,wireframe models can be used to quickly preview and modify the shape and structure of objects,saving printing materials,reducing printing time,and improving the iteration speed of models.Currently,the traditional layer-by-layer additive manufacturing process struggles to maintain the continuity of the wireframe model printing path,often requiring additional support structures to ensure successful printing.This approach not only reduces efficiency but also affects the quality of the finished product.The rotary 3D printing technology replaces the translation axis(X or Y axis)of the traditional 3D printer with a rotary axis.During the printing process,the printer nozzle deposits material onto the surface of the base model clamped on the rotational axis.Unlike layer-by-layer printing,rotary 3D printing can reduce the problems encountered by traditional printing methods and does not require additional support structures,thus improving printing efficiency and product quality.In addition,professional slicing software such as Ultimaker Cura has a high learning curve and does not provide the path planning function required for rotatry 3D printing.Therefore,how to quickly design wireframe decorative textures on the surface of an object and manufacture it using rotarty 3D printer is a problem that needs to be solved.In light of the aforementioned background,this article introduces a surface model wireframe decoration design system for rotational axis 3D printing.It provides users with two different texture path generation methods to create decorative wireframe patterns.The texture path generation method based on texture pattern units allows users to design and edit each unit,while the method based on the overall connected image allows users to design directly on the entire image.Regardless of the method used,the system can automatically ensure the continuity of the path,thereby ensuring print quality.After designing the texture,the system provides target model import and one-click texture mapping functions,which allow users to apply their carefully designed texture paths to various rotational body models.Additionally,the system provides result simulation and optimization functions,which enable users to simulate and analyze the printing results before actual printing.Through this feature,users can predict potential issues that may arise during the printing process,such as structural instability,and select corresponding local optimization methods to improve printing stability and success rate.Finally,users can export G-code files suitable for rotational axis 3D printers for printing manufacturing directly.In summary,the system provides an efficient,accurate,and reliable solution for wireframe decorative design of curved surface models for rotary 3D printing.It offers various functionalities and tools,including visualization and interaction,texture path design,texture path mapping,path optimization and structure enhancement,spatial coordinate conversion,etc.The system can be used as a design and printing software for personal 3D printers,allowing ordinary users to easily design and print exquisite decorative objects.To some extent,the system will promote the popularity of personal desktop 3D printing. |
