2.2 3D Wrap

2.2.1 Introduction

The 3D Wrap mainly projects the text or vector object on the surface by projecting it
perpendicularly to the projection surface. Through the software and the 3D galvanometer, the focal
length is continuously changed on the surface to realize the surface carving effect. Figure 2.14
shows the parallel projection and red is the projected image. Regardless of the angle of view, the

14
deformation does not recombine before and after projection. However, if the projected surface is
tiled at this time, it will show completely unformed text or vector graphics.

4.2 Double rotary axis globe

The double-rotation axis globe carving carves the entire sphere surface by dividing the entire
sphere surface by a two-way rotating axis. The globe is a typical use scene for a double rotating
axis.
First adjust the two rotation axis parameters, determine the rotation axis X and Y, and can
accurately control the axis movement to ensure the accuracy of thecarving accuracy, the position of
the double rotation axis must be placed accurately, after the rotation axis clamps the sphere, the 3D
galvanometer focus should at the center of the ball, the two rotation axes correspond to the
galvanometer X and Y axes, respectively, and are parallel to the galvanometers X and Y,
respectively (for example, the rotation axis 1 corresponds to X, and the rotation axis 2 corresponds
to Y, and the rotation direction must correspond).

 After drawing the QR code, click to enter the QR code setting and set it to point mode.
Select black and white reverse;
Select dot matrix mode, the number of points is set to 1;
The matrix is set to the minimum size;
Use the status bar to set the code size to the desired value, taking 10x10 code as an example;

Opening delay: 0
Off light delay: 0
Acceleration distance: 1.8
Two-way offset: 3.4
Appropriate adjustment of frequency and bidirectional offset is required when modifying the
QR code size. Smaller sizes require a small increase in frequency and offset distance.
This mode changes the carving speed to have little effect on the overall machining effect, but if
the speed is too small, it affects the machining time.
The modification frequency of this mode has a great influence on the processing effect, as
shown in Figure 6.5.

Frequency too small Frequency is too large

Figure 6.5 Frequency and processing effect
The mode modification jump speed has a significant influence on the processing time, and the
speed becomes smaller and longer, but the carving has no effect.
Switching light delay: modification has no effect, but setting too large wastes processing time
and reduces efficiency.

Modify the QR code size: fine-tune the bidirectional offset; increase the size and increase the
bidirectional offset to decrease.
Carving speed: reducing the carving speed has a great influence on the carving effect. To
reduce the speed, it is necessary to appropriately reduce the bidirectional offset distance.
Jump speed: The effect is minimal, but too low to increase processing time.
Frequency: It is recommended to keep the default value, constant 100k.
Opening delay: mainly for the case where the two-way code is not neat inside when the
two-way offset has been set. If the number of small dots is set too much, if it is too large, a
leak will occur.
Off-light delay: Mainly for the two-way code is not neat inside when the two-way offset has
been set. If the number of points is too large, the number of points will decrease.
Acceleration distance: If the setting is too small, arc distortion will appear in the lower right
corner of the QR code; setting too large will have no effect but waste processing time.
Offset distance: If the value is too small, the first, third, and fifth... of the two-dimensional
