Nano Duo Batch Fill Guide for Efficient Multi-Object Engraving

Introduction

The Batch Fill function is designed to improve engraving efficiency by automatically identifying and copying a selected pattern onto multiple materials with similar contours. Using the camera to capture and recognize material outlines, the system replicates the design across all qualified objects in a single operation, ensuring consistent positioning and alignment.

Material Requirements

To ensure accurate recognition and proper batch placement, materials must meet the following conditions:

• All materials must be identical in shape, color, and material type.

  • Dimensional variation between targets must not exceed 10%.

  • Area variation must not exceed 25%.

• The material color must be clearly distinguishable from the background for accurate contour detection.

• Triangles and pentagons are not supported.

• Materials with highly reflective or glossy surfaces are not recommended.

• At least two or more materials must be placed within the effective engraving area.

  • Minimum spacing between objects must be 5 mm.

• Material thickness must be less than 5 mm.

Precautions Before Use

• Ensure the camera function is operating properly before starting.

• Select the specific element(s) you want to batch fill.

  • The system will automatically remove any unselected elements before performing the batch operation.

• You must manually place the first pattern onto one material surface.

  • The batch fill process will replicate this pattern based on its position and angle.

• Keep the base plate clean, free of debris, dust, or scratches to ensure accurate detection.

Batch Filling Process

1. Place the Materials

1. Place materials of the same size, shape, and color on the base plate.

   • Maintain spacing greater than 5 mm between objects.

2. Ensure all materials are positioned within the effective engraving range.

• Figure 1: Correct placement

• Figure 2: Incorrect placement – objects too close together

• Figure 3: Incorrect placement – objects overlapping

• Figure 4: Incorrect placement – objects of different shapes

2. Capture Material Image

• Click Capture to take a photo of the materials and generate the contour outlines.

3. Set the Design Position

1. Create or import your design on the canvas.

2. Drag the design onto one material, ensuring it is fully positioned within the material boundary.

4. Batch Copy and Place Patterns

• Select the positioned design and click Batch Fill.

• The system will automatically detect the remaining material outlines.

• The design will be copied to each recognized object at the same relative position and angle.

5. Start Engraving

1. Adjust the appropriate material parameters.

2. Follow the normal engraving workflow.

3. Start the job to engrave all patterns on the canvas simultaneously.
