Today, there are a sufficient number of studies devoted to the analysis of ink distribution and transfer processes in ink printing systems, where simulation modeling is used to study ink distribution and transfer processes in detail. Due to the complexity of the design of offset printing systems, a large amount of data is generated during modeling, which is difficult to analyze using traditional methods. For effective interpretation of simulation results, it is advisable to implement approaches that ensure dynamic and interactive display. This, in turn, requires the development of special software tools, which is a difficult task given the diversity of offset machine designs. One of the stages in the development of such tools is the generation of a three-dimensional model of the ink printing system. This work is devoted to the development of a method for the automatic construction of a polygonal model of an ink printing system for its three-dimensional visualization. A procedure has been implemented for adjusting the positions and sizes of rollers and cylinders, the parameters of which are obtained from a two-dimensional image of the ink printing system for their display in three-dimensional space. To determine the data arrays that reflect the forward and reverse ink flows, an algorithm for classifying the faces of a polygonal cylinder has been proposed. The generation of a polygonal three-dimensional model of the system was carried out using the Blender API tools, in particular the bpy and bmesh modules. The method described in the work provides the ability to automatically generate polygonal models of ink printing systems of various configurations and can be used as a component of an interactive environment for 3D visualization of offset printing processes.
Keywords: offset printing, ink printing system, data visualization, 3D visualization, polygonal model, algorithm, blender api.
