Abstract
A computer-implemented dynamic supporting base creation method that interacts with a three-dimensional (3D) printer that prints an object, the method including providing a physical support, via a first robotic gripper, for an object during three-dimensional (3D) printing using a printing head of the 3D printer and transferring the object to a second robotic gripper to provide a physical support at a different location on the object.
Claims12
A computer-implemented dynamic supporting base creation method that interacts with a three-dimensional (3D) printer that prints an object, the method comprising:
- providing a physical support, via a first robotic gripper, for the object during three-dimensional (3D) printing using a printing head of the 3D printer;
- determining a different location to provide a second physical support of the object via a second robotic gripper based on one or more next printing operations;
- and
- transferring, during the three-dimensional (3D) printing, the object to the second robotic gripper to provide the second physical support at the different location on the object.
