Abstract

See full text

A printer uses closed loop control to keep material drops ejected by a printhead within a predetermined range. The printer forms at least two objects on a support member and then operates a specular sensor array to obtain image data of the two objects on the support member. The two objects have different predetermined heights to enable a controller in the printer to identify the mass or volume of the material drops forming the objects to adjust operational parameters of the printer to maintain the mass or volume of the material drops in the predetermined range.
