Method for printing an image on a three-dimensional free-form surface, and device designed to carry out such a method

摘要

The invention relates to a method for printing an image on a three-dimensional free-form surface, image information of the image being applied to the three-dimensional free-form surface by means of a printer with at least one application head, in particular a print head, with at least one nozzle, characterized in that a) the image is mapped onto the three-dimensional free-form surface, so that the three-dimensional free-form surface receives the image information, b) the application head is moved along at least one specific movement path relative to the three-dimensional free-form surface, at least one sensor being guided on the application head, the image information being recorded on the three-dimensional free-form surface, and along the at least one specific movement path depending on the acquired image information Print data are calculated, c) at least one movement path of the at least one application head along the three-dimensional free-form surface is determined as a function of the calculated print data, and d) the at least one application head is guided along the at least one determined movement path, the image being at least partially printed on the three-dimensional free-form surface.
