Intelligent Adjustment of Printhead Driving Waveform Parameters for 3D Electronic Printing

Abstract

Abstract. In practical applications of 3D electronic printing, a major challenge is to adjust the printhead for a high print resolution and accuracy. However, an exhausting manual selective process inevitably wastes a lot of time. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed a new intelligent adjustment method, which adopts artificial bee colony algorithm to optimize the printhead driving waveform parameters for getting the desired printhead state. Experimental results show that this method can quickly and accuracy find out the suitable combination of driving waveform parameters to meet the needs of applications.

“…Instead of changing the printhead, which will be costly under certain conditions, the waveform design can be adjusted to use another fluid property. An optimum waveform design will generate superior droplet quality [3][4][5][6][7][8]. This liquid has a lower viscosity and is therefore more difficult to control.…”
