Abstract:
A method of collecting a metrology data set of a contoured surface with a metrology system and executing an automatic control plan for printing on a contoured surface is disclosed. The method includes attaching a work piece to a work piece frame and scanning a contoured surface of the work piece to obtain a metrology data set, a three-dimensional point cloud model is generated based on the metrology data set. Additionally, the method includes defining a spatial reference model of the work piece frame, and defining a print path for a print head assembly of a surface treatment assembly. Furthermore, the method includes discretizing the contoured surface into a plurality of regions and the print path is further defined into at least one independent regional print path for each region of the plurality of regions. Moreover, a computer software simulation verifies a control plan for printing on the contoured surface.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 4 , further including determining a shift of the print head assembly at each X-Y coordinate position of the plurality of X-Y coordinate positions based on fitting a plane into a particular region of the plurality of regions, wherein determining the shift of the print head assembly includes normalizing the print head assembly to the plane fit into the particular region of the plurality of regions, and wherein a vector of the principal print direction is directed to an adjacent X-Y coordinate position of the plurality of X-Y coordinate positions.
