System and method for performing quality analysis for multidimensional printing

A method for performing quality analysis for multidimensional printing, the method comprising:

• setting up a multidimensional printer, wherein the multidimensional printer comprises a printing head, a printing surface, an axis system and a scale, wherein the scale is arranged to measure weight applied on the printing surface;
• defining, in a control unit, a set of parameters for performing quality analysis for multidimensional printing, wherein the control unit is operatively coupled to the multidimensional printer;
• and
• operating the control unit, based on the set of parameters, for:
• controlling the printing head to extrude a printing material, to produce a printing object on the printing surface,
• obtaining, from a flow meter, an actual density of the printing material, at any of:
• a real-time or after a pre-defined interval, while the printing object is being produced;
• obtaining, from the scale, the weight of the printing object;
• calculating, based on the weight and a flow rate, an obtained density of the printing object;
• comparing the obtained density of the printing object with the actual density of the printing material;
• wherein the obtained density of the printing object differs from the actual density of the printing material, changing at least one of:
• a pre-defined density, a pre-defined volume, a pre-defined flow speed, a pre-defined cross-sectional area;
• obtaining, from the scale, a weight applied on the printing surface due to the extruding, and storing the weight applied to the printing surface in a memory associated with the control unit,
• comparing the weight with a reference weight of the printing object, and
• controlling the printing head to stop extrusion of the printing material when the weight is equal to or exceeds the reference weight.
