¶ Overview
The Batch Engraving function is designed specifically for efficient processing of standardized small-sized items. Built on advanced visual algorithms, Bambu Suite can recognize materials that are similar to the sample, locate them, and generate the same design. It simplifies the design adjustment process, significantly improves engraving efficiency, and makes your manufacturing process more convenient and efficient.
This function captures the processing plane through the BirdsEye Camera, accurately identifies the positions of multiple materials, and achieves batch replication of patterns based on shape similarity. This not only optimizes typesetting efficiency, but also further enhances the automation level of the overall production process.
¶ Operation Procedures
-
Placing materials
-
Place materials of the same size, shape, and color onto the plate with a spacing of more than 5mm.
-
The object should be placed within the field of view of the overhead camera and should not exceed the boundary of the plate processing area or the field of view of the BirdsEye Camera.
-
| Correctly placed | Incorrect placement：Different Shapes | Incorrect placement：Object Overlap |
|---|---|---|

-
Design Preparation
- Import/create patterns on the design canvas and customize them as needed (no manual duplication required).
-
Enter Processing Setup
- Click Prepare Project → Select material type.
-
Capture Positioning Image
- Click Capture Image to obtain a BirdsEye Camera view of the processing platform. Bambu Suite will automatically extract material contours. This step takes about 8-10 seconds. Please be patient and wait for the material image to refresh on the interface.
-
Set Reference Position
- Drag the pattern onto any material surface and adjust the position and angle of the pattern.
-
Batch copying and placing patterns
- Click Batch Engraving, Bambu Suite automatically detects other similar materials, and copies the pattern onto them with identical relative positions.
-
Execute Processing
- Click Start, Bambu Suite will carve all patterns at once.
¶ Matters needing attention
-
Image Capture Requirements
- Before using batch carving, it is necessary to ensure that the BirdsEye Camera is correctly installed to capture the background image of the plate using the overhead camera, and that the photo can be taken normally in Bambu Suite.
-
Material Consistency
-
All materials must be identical in shape and type, otherwise batch copying of patterns and automatic placement results may be incorrect.
-
The material color should have a certain difference from the background plate to ensure that the contour boundaries of the objects extracted by Bambu Suite are clear.
-
The material size needs to be between 2cm and 30cm (shortest edge length). Materials that are too small are difficult to identify, while materials that are too large may exceed the field of view or processing range of the overhead camera.
-
The material thickness should be less than 5mm. If the material is too thick, the shadow of the material may affect the accuracy of contour extraction.
-
-
Reference Position Setup
- You must manually position the first pattern on one material to establish the alignment standard for batch copying.
-
Plate cleaning
- The condition of the plate affects the accuracy of contour extraction. It is recommended to clean the plate thoroughly before using the batch carving function.

- Processing time
The processing time depends on your computer hardware and operating system running status. Usually, the calculation of batch carving is completed within 1 second after determining the carving pattern and position.
