Abstract
A method for enabling marking of a pattern on a substrate with an industrial printer includes executing a genetic algorithm based on the pattern to be marked on the substrate. A result of the genetic algorithm indicates a resulting path which the industrial printer should follow when marking the pattern on the substrate. It is determined if the resulting path fulfills at least one criterion of: the resulting path matches an optimal path for marking the pattern, the resulting path substantially matches the optimal path, or a time spent for executing the genetic algorithm has reached or exceeded a threshold.
Claims19
A method for enabling marking of a pattern on a substrate with an industrial printer, the method comprising:
- executing a genetic algorithm based on the pattern to be marked on the substrate, wherein a result of the genetic algorithm indicates a resulting path which the industrial printer should follow when marking the pattern on the substrate;
- and
- determining if the resulting path fulfills at least one criterion.
A controller being configured to:
- execute a genetic algorithm based on a pattern to be marked on a substrate with an industrial printer, wherein a result of the genetic algorithm indicates a resulting path which the industrial printer should follow when marking the pattern;
- and to
- determine if the resulting path fulfills at least one criterion.
