    摘要: A 3D screen-printing apparatus for producing a shaped article includes: a printing table; a printing screen with a printing mask having a layer geometry for producing the shaped article layer by layer; an application unit to apply a printing material to the printing screen and to work it into the printing masks to produce a shaped-article layer; and a first positioning unit configured to increase the distance between the printing table and the printing screen by way of a first relative movement after the production of each shaped-article layer. The printing screen has printing masks, and the 3D screen-printing apparatus has a second positioning unit configured to perform a second relative movement between the printing table and the printing screen so different printing masks of the one printing screen can be positioned one after the other at a shaped-article position where an individual shaped article is to be built.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method for manufacturing, by stereolithography, a green part made of a ceramic or metallic material. Layers based on a curable composition including: the ceramic or metallic material formed by at least one ceramic or metallic powder, respectively, and an organic part including at least one monomer and/or oligomer and at least one initiator for the polymerization of the one or more monomers and/or oligomers, are successively cured by the polymerization according to a pattern defined for each layer. The first layer formed on a construction platform, each other layer being formed and then cured on the preceding layer. As an initiator, at least one thermal initiator is used capable of generating the initiation of a thermal polymerization by the thermal energy released by the ceramic or metallic material, respectively, during exposure to at least one irradiation source chosen from UV, visible or IR irradiation sources.

    摘要: In a method of manufacturing, before making the first layer: the working tray is covered with a support sheet able to be biased against it, forming a rigid and fixed surface for receiving the successive layers, which is able to hold thereon the successive layers as formed; and the support sheet is biased against the working tray; the green piece is formed by the technique of additive manufacturing; and when the green piece is thus formed, the biasing is suppressed in order to detach, from the tray, the support sheet on which the green piece is located with the portion of the photocurable composition which has not been cured; the non-cured photocurable composition portion is removed; and the green piece is unhooked from the support sheet.
