摘要： In a stereolithography apparatus according to an embodiment, for example, a first optical system emits a first light to a photocurable material. A second optical system emits a second light to the photocurable material such that the second light linearly intersects the first light in a first direction in the photocurable material. An area setter sets, for at least one of the first light and the second light, a first area and a second area having different optical properties from each other, at an intersection of the first light and the second light in the first direction. A moving mechanism moves the intersection of the first light and the second light. The stereolithography apparatus cures the photocurable material at the intersection of the first light and the second light.

摘要： A method for producing micromechanical components is provided. A liquid starting material which can be cured by means of irradiation is applied onto a substrate. A partial volume of the starting material is cured by means of a local irradiation process using a first radiation source in order to produce at least one three-dimensional structure. The three-dimensional structure delimits at least one closed cavity in which at least one part of the liquid starting material is enclosed. Alternatively or in addition, a micromechanical component is provided that contains a liquid starting material, which is partly cured by means of irradiation, and at least one cavity in which the liquid starting material is enclosed.

摘要： A method for producing a three-dimensional object (11) in layers by using a stereolithography machine (1) that includes: a container (2) containing a fluid substance (3) suited to solidify through exposure to predefined radiation (4a); an emitter (4) suited to emit the predefined radiation (4a) and to solidify a layer of the fluid substance (3) adjacent to the bottom (2a) of the container (2); a modelling plate (5) suited to support the solidified layer (6) and associated with an actuator (7) suited to move it perpendicular to the bottom (2a) of the container; a leveler (8) arranged in contact with the fluid substance (3). The method includes: selectively irradiating the layer of fluid substance to obtain the solidified layer; extracting the solidified layer from the fluid substance; redistributing the fluid substance in the container by moving the leveler so that they are passed between the modelling plate and the container.

摘要： A method of forming a three-dimensional object (17), is carried out by: (a) providing a carrier (18′) and an optically transparent member having a build surface, with the carrier and the build surface defining a build region therebetween; (b) filling the build region with a polymerizable liquid; (c) irradiating the build region with light through the optically transparent member to form a solid polymer from the polymerizable liquid; and (d) advancing the carrier away from the build surface to form the three-dimensional object from the solid polymer; (e) wherein the carrier has at least one channel (32) formed therein, the method further including supplying pressurized gas into the build region through the at least one channel during at least a portion of the filling, irradiating and/or advancing steps. An apparatus for performing the method is also disclosed.

摘要： A three-dimensional structure is formed when layers of a material are deposited onto a substrate and scanned with a high energy beam to at least partially melt each layer of the material. Upon scanning the layers at predetermined locations at least a first segment overlapping a second segment and underlapping a third segment is formed.

摘要： Devices, methods, and computer program products for facilitating the assembly of three-dimensional parts in a layer-wise fashion are disclosed, wherein separation forces between the assembler device and the parts are minimized at certain interfaces. Parts may be produced from polymers, photopolymers, metals, or other materials. In some aspects of the present disclosure, separation forces are minimized via the utilization of a cure inhibiting layer on a top surface of the image plate and via sliding the part from contact with a portion of the image plate having high elevation to above a portion of the image plate with low elevation. In some aspects, the assembler device further comprises a sweeper configured to expose the cure inhibiting layer to a source of cure inhibitor after a cure cycle.

摘要： An apparatus and a method for manufacturing three-dimensional objects by selective solidification of a build material applied in layers use an insulating element having at least two functional openings to improve the manufacturing process and in particular to optimize heat input. One of the at least two functional openings serves as a material passthrough and another of the at least two functional openings simultaneously serves as a radiation passthrough.
