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 12):
The metrology system of  claim 11 , wherein a shift of the print head assembly is determined 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 the shift of the print head assembly is determined by a normalization of 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.
