Abstract

A method for laminating and aligning an irregular-shape material is disclosed. Since the existing laminating material has an irregular shape, there is a problem with disabling alignment in a lamination process. Thus, the irregular shape of the laminating material is used to form a straight line correlated with a tangent line to the shape, and the straight line is used as the shape-aligned feature of the laminating material. Besides, the definition of an alignment relationship between the laminating material and a laminated object is established to adjust a lamination tolerance and prevent the laminating material from overhanging over the laminated object, thereby satisfying consumers' aesthetic needs for the appearance of products.

Claims5

Dependent claims

A method for laminating and aligning an irregular-shape material, and the method comprising:

providing an irregular-shape laminating material having an irregular curved shape;
drawing at least one tangent line to an edge of the irregular curved shape;
horizontally moving a position of the at least one tangent line an appointed distance in a horizontal direction of the irregular curved shape, so as to form a parallel line arranged in parallel to the at least one tangent line;
removing a region between the at least one tangent line and the parallel line to form a feature-aligned curved shape and finding a straight line of the feature-aligned curved shape that overlaps the parallel line;
and
using the straight line as a shape-aligned feature and defining a length of the straight line as a size of the shape-aligned feature recognized by a lamination machine.
