Creating a Fixing Jig for the Object

A fixing jig is a fixing device for efficiently setting a particular object onto the output device.

For example, if the object is concave, it will be possible to only set objects for printing that fit into the jig.

Printing can be made simply by removing the printed product and replacing it with a new object without performing setup or print positioning each time, greatly improving productivity. Use of a fixing jig has advantages when the product created using the fixing jig is expected to cover the time and cost of creating the jig.

It is possible to set a fixing jig with the same specifications as the actual jig in PAM (where it is referred to as the "jig"), allowing print data to be pasted into it for efficient printing. This section explains the procedure for creating a virtual fixing jig (jig) in PAM.

Procedure
  1. Start the Web browser and access the following URL.

    The Add New Jig display appears.
  6. Enter the jig size and thickness according to the fixing jig design drawing (dimensions drawing).
    1. Enter the name of the jig in Name.
    2. Enter the jig size in Width and Height.
    3. Enter the jig thickness in Thickness.
      Thickness is the thickness to the height of the printing surface when the object is installed. Be aware that it is not the thickness of only the fixing jig.

  7. Set the object and the print image.
    This explains the procedure for jig specifications where multiple of the same object are arranged on the fixing jigs and printing is performed all at once.
    1. Click Add Multiple.
      The Object box details display appears.

    2. Enter the size of the object in Width and Height.
    3. Enter the distance from the neighboring object in Horizontal Margin and Vertical Margin.
    4. Enter the Image box (image print frame) size in Image box Width and Image box Height.
    5. Set the position of the Image box (image print frame) within the Object box in Image Placement.
      Enter the amount of offset from the lower right point of the Object box when lower right is selected in Image box X and Image box Y.
    6. Set the image rotation angle in Rotation.
    7. Set the image reversal in Mirror.
    8. Set the image scale in Scale.
    9. Set the image position within the Image box in Reference Point.
    10. Click Add.
      An Object box is placed to fill all the jigs.
  8. Click icon_edit.png under Location.
