An Integrated Technology for 3D Laser Marking

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper proposal an apparatus and processing steps to realize 3d laser marking onto the target's surface directly. A camera is attached to an ordinary inner engraver and laser source is multiple used for measuring and manufacturing respectively. Through steps successively including Camera Calibration, 3D Measuring, Surface Reconstruction, Image Ditching, Texture Mapping, Computer Aid Design (CAD), Computer Aid Manufacture (CAM) Calculation and Computer Numeric Control (CNC) Control, an inner engraver can become a 3D marking machine in a manner which is both novel and cheap.
