Abstract
In one example, a solver engine may execute a reverse calculation to determine a recipe ingredient set based on a goal descriptor describing a ceramic glaze. A descriptor interface of the solver engine may receive a goal descriptor describing a ceramic glaze. A model applicator of the solver engine may apply a glaze process model to the goal descriptor. The model applicator may automatically reverse calculate a glaze recipe describing a recipe ingredient set to produce the ceramic glaze described by the goal descriptor. A glaze mixing machine interface may direct a glaze mixing machine to mix the recipe ingredient set to produce the ceramic glaze.
Claims20
A solver engine for a glazing system, comprising:
- a descriptor interface configured to receive a goal descriptor describing a ceramic glaze;
- a model applicator configured to apply a glaze process model to the goal descriptor to calculate the chemical composition of the ceramic glaze and to automatically reverse calculate a glaze recipe describing a recipe ingredient set to produce the chemical composition described by the goal descriptor;
- and
- a glaze mixing machine interface configured to direct a glaze mixing machine to mix the recipe ingredient set to produce the ceramic glaze for application to a ceramic and firing in a kiln.
