    Abstract: An inkjet printer configured to print on a three-dimensional object is provided. The inkjet printer may include a print head that ejects a conductive ink. The inkjet printer may also include an assembly configured for adjusting a position of an object relative to the print head. The adjustment assembly may include a fixture configured to hold an object, such as a circuit board, that is to be printed on. The fixture may be configured to hold the object such that multiple surfaces thereof, which may be nonplanar, are exposed. A tilt adjustment mechanism may be coupled to the fixture and configured to adjust a tilt angle of the object. Further, a rotational adjustment mechanism may be coupled to the fixture and configured to adjust an angular position of the circuit board. Accordingly, the surfaces of the object may each be upwardly oriented such that the print head may print thereon.

    Abstract translation: 提供了一种配置成在三维物体上打印的喷墨打印机。 喷墨打印机可以包括喷射导电油墨的打印头。 喷墨打印机还可以包括被配置为调节物体相对于打印头的位置的组件。 调整组件可以包括被配置为保持待印刷的对象(例如电路板)的夹具。 固定装置可以被构造成保持物体,使得其可以是非平面的多个表面被暴露。 倾斜调节机构可以联接到固定装置并且被配置为调节物体的倾斜角度。 此外,旋转调节机构可以联接到固定装置并且构造成调整电路板的角位置。 因此,物体的表面可以各自向上定向,使得打印头可以在其上打印。
