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 10):
The metrology system of  claim 9 , wherein a polynomial of the three-dimensional point cloud model is fit into each region of the plurality of regions, and wherein defining the at least one independent regional print path of the plurality of regional print paths includes determining a uniform spacing along a Y axis of the print path to provide complete coverage of the polynomial along the X axis of the print path.
