Abstract
In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a system is described. The system includes a reader to extract cleaning instructions associated with a three-dimensional (3D) printed object. The cleaning instructions include a termination condition to indicate when object cleaning is complete. The system also includes a controller to instruct at least one cleaning device to clean the 3D printed object based on the cleaning instructions. A measurement system of the system determines when the termination condition is met.
Claims15
A system, comprising:
- a reader to extract cleaning instructions associated with a three-dimensional (3D) printed object, the cleaning instructions comprising a termination condition to indicate when object cleaning is complete;
- a controller to instruct at least one cleaning device to clean the 3D printed object based on the cleaning instructions;
- and
- a measurement system to determine when the termination condition is met.
A method, comprising:
- extracting cleaning instructions associated with a three-dimensional (3D) printed object, wherein the cleaning instructions comprise a termination condition to indicate when object cleaning is complete;
- executing cleaning operations based on the cleaning instructions;
- measuring a characteristic of the 3D printed object during execution of the cleaning operations;
- and
- responsive to the characteristic meeting the termination condition, terminating the cleaning operations.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by a processor, the machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions to:
- identify a three-dimensional (3D) printed object;
- extract cleaning instructions associated with the 3D printed object;
- determine from the cleaning instructions, cleaning device parameters specific to the cleaning devices of a cleaning station;
- identify a pose of the 3D printed object to identify grasping locations indicated in the cleaning instructions;
- and
- execute cleaning operations based on the cleaning instructions.
