Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to material processing of a two-dimensional sheet like material into a desired three-dimensional shape object. In more detail, this disclosure inter alia presents a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising executable instructions for use in material processing of a two-dimensional sheet like material using a computer device.

Claims (22)

1 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising executable instructions for use in material processing of a two-dimensional sheet like material using a computer device, wherein the instructions, when executed by one or more processors of the computer device, cause the computer device to:

obtain information related to a desired design of a three-dimensional object;

obtain information related to material characteristics of the two-dimensional sheet like material;

define a primary surface and a secondary surface of the desired design of the three-dimensional object; and

define a geometrical relationship between said primary surface and secondary surface; wherein

the secondary surface is a reflection of the primary surface in a two-dimensional plane, and wherein

when said primary surface is concave said secondary surface is convex, or when said primary surface is convex said secondary surface is concave; and

provide, or otherwise create, a digital instruction for a fully developed spreading and subsequent folding of a two-dimensional sheet into the obtained desired design of the three-dimensional object, wherein said digital instruction is based on the defined primary and secondary surfaces, respectively, and said obtained material characteristics.

2 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors of the computer device, cause the computer device to:

transmit, via a transmitter, said digital instruction to an industrial robot for the spreading and subsequent folding of the two-dimensional sheet by means of the industrial robot.

3 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein said material characteristics are any one or a combination of thickness, type of material, hardness toughness, tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, fatigue strength, corrosion, plasticity, malleability, creep and structure of the material and dimension of material, and wherein said material characteristics define boundary conditions for said folding of said two-dimensional sheet.

4 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein said primary surface is the surface that controls the desired design of three-dimensional object.

5 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein said curve controls the desired design of three-dimensional object.

6 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein said desired design of three-dimensional shape is further defined by an interface design based on a technical volume and ergonomic requirements of the three-dimensional shape object.

7 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein said two-dimensional sheet material is any one of a metal or plastics material.

8 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein said metal material is any one of a steel, a stainless steel and an aluminum.

9 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising executable instructions for use in material processing of a two-dimensional sheet like material using an industrial robot, wherein the instructions, when executed by one or more processors of the industrial robot, cause the industrial robot to:

provide a two-dimensional sheet like material;

obtain a digital instruction for the spreading and subsequent folding of the provided two-dimensional sheet by means of the industrial robot; and

execute the obtained digital instruction to produce, or otherwise create, a desired design of a three-dimensional object from the provided two-dimensional sheet like material.

10 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , comprising instructions which, when executed on the at least one processor of the industrial robot, cause the at least one processor to carry out:

receiving, via a receiver, said digital instruction from a computer device.
