Abstract

An inkjet width adjustment method adapting to three-dimensional printing equipment is provided. The method in one of exemplary embodiments is provided hereafter. A three-dimensional digital model is obtained, and a slicing procedure is performed on the three-dimensional digital model to produce a layer object, wherein the layer object has a cross-sectional contour. A surface tilt degree corresponding to the cross-sectional contour is obtained from the three-dimensional digital model, and an ideal inkjet width of the layer object is calculated according to the surface tilt degree corresponding to the cross-sectional contour. After a print module is controlled to print the layer object, an inkjet module is controlled to spray ink along the cross-sectional contour of the layer object according to the ideal inkjet width. In addition, the three-dimensional printing equipment is also provided.
