摘要:
Apparatus for producing an object by sequentially forming thin layers of a construction material one on top of the other responsive to data defining the object, the apparatus comprising: a plurality of printing heads each having a surface formed with a plurality of output orifices and controllable to dispense the construction material through each orifice independently of the other orifices; a shuttle to which the printing heads are mounted; a support surface; and a controller adapted to control the shuttle to move back and forth over the support surface and as the shuttle moves to control the printing heads to dispense the construction material through each of their respective orifices responsive to the data to form a first layer on the support surface and thereafter, sequentially the other layers; wherein each printing head is dismountable from the shuttle and replaceable independently of the other printing heads.

摘要:
A cartridge apparatus for supplying materials to a three-dimensional printing system is provided. The cartridge apparatus may include a cartridge, a data storage device to record data relating to a material contained within the cartridge and a reader to read data from the data storage device and transmit the data to a controller of the printing system.
摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a system and method for controlling fabrication of three-dimensional objects, layer by layer, the system comprising a printing assembly, including an irradiation unit and a printing head, the printing assembly is movable between a printing area and a service area. A light sensor positioned at the service area to measure output radiation power of the irradiation unit at a printing plane and a controller to receive information from the sensor and to automatically adjust electrical power supplied to the irradiation unit based on the information.

A system and a method for printing of three-dimensional objects are provided. The system may include at least two replaceable printing trays and the method may include printing using a printing head a first three dimensional object on a first replaceable printing tray in a printing area; automatically moving the first tray from the printing area; automatically placing a second replaceable printing tray in the printing area; and immediately resuming printing a second three dimensional object on the second tray.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for polymerizing photoactive materials included in a liquid material by electromagnetic radiation, by dispensing the liquid material layer-wise into a container and irradiating the accumulated layers by a curing radiation, wherein a substantial part of the radiation is well transmitted through the photoactive material.
摘要:
A method and apparatus to help control the quality of printed three-dimensional objects are provided. The method may include dispensing one or more building material to construct a support construction underneath surfaces of the three-dimensional object and dispensing at least one of the building materials to construct a thickening layer of building material of pre-determined thickness around at least part of the three-dimensional object.
摘要:
A method to help control the quality of printed three-dimensional objects is provided. The method may include depositing building materials to print a three-dimensional object with an adjacent support construction such that the object and the support construction are separated by a barrier and the barrier includes vacant pixels, where no building material is deposited.
摘要:
A system and method for building three dimensional objects may adjust data used to build the objects to, for example, improve quality or correct for defects. A printer may, for example, accept data representing the object and modify the data according to an adjustment parameter; the printer may build the object according to the parameter. The parameter may be, for example, calculating an adjustment parameter in an X-Y slice plane to compensate for inaccuracies caused by diffusion of materials into one another.
