Method for printing image on body i.e. tank of e.g. passenger car, involves generating three or higher-dimension raster matrix data to control inkjet printhead, and printing image with inkjet printhead using raster data

摘要

The method involves providing an image (7), and performing three-dimensional (3D) measuring process at a region. Space points are produced corresponding to the region. A 3D network is produced corresponding to the region. 3D web data is generated for moving a robot (4) i.e. hinged arm robot, for an inkjet printhead (5). Raster data i.e. 3D or higher-dimensional raster matrix data, is generated to control the inkjet printhead. The robot is moved using the web data. The image is printed with the inkjet printhead using the raster data. An independent claim is also included for a system for printing an image on an object, comprising a cleaning apparatus.
