Figure 6. Top and side views of the printing contour.
Figure 7. 3D view and layer section view of the special slicer mode that presents the local required
casting volume between the WB material walls. High flow can be seen near corners and close to negatively
sloping walls, while low flow can be seen in internal contours and over positively sloping walls.
Figure 6 illustrates the local volume calculation.
In this figure, the thick orange lines are the WB
walls contour, while the blue lines are the CIM 500
casting paths.
In the top view of this figure, the green line
separates the volume associated with each of the
casting contours while the dashed orange lines
separate between segments in which the local
volume is calculated.
The side view illustrates how the calculation
takes into account cases of angled contour - the
dashed orange line shows the division between
the casting contours, while the dashed green lines
show the separation into WB material slices.
The volume is calculated for each contour, for
each slice and then summed.
The ideal solution for the above challenge is
to mount the dosing unit directly on the casting
head. However, this complicates its movement
considerably and makes the printing system more
expensive. A simpler solution is to have the dosing
pumps stationary outside the printing system
(for example, on the machine wall) while only the
mixing head is mobile. However, due to the lengthy
piping required, the reaction time of the dosing
unit to changes in flow is not very fast. Primarily
for that reason, it was decided that varying the
amount of the cast material would be achieved by
changing the X/Y travel speed of the casting head,
while material flow would be kept constant. The
new software module performs an adaptive fill of
the CIM 500 material in order to get an even level
along the casting path across the entire model.
To support the development process of the
