    摘要: Substantially equal amounts of thermal energy may be provided over a build area of an additive fabrication device using as few as one heat source by selectively attenuating thermal energy emitted by the heat source. The thermal energy may be selectively attenuated by a structure that blocks portions of the thermal energy from being directly incident upon the build area such that the heat is normalized over the build area. The heat distribution over the build area may, in some embodiments, approximate the heat distribution produced by a flat field heating element, yet may be produced at comparatively lower cost and with less complex engineering.

    摘要: A method for producing a three-dimensional (3D) object on an additive fabrication device includes receiving, by a computer, print instructions for the 3D object. The print instructions include a sequence of print maps, each print map corresponding to a sub-instruction for producing a respective cross-section of the 3D object. The method also includes exposing, by an energy source, resin stored in a resin container at a print plane according to a first print map of the sequence of print maps, and modifying a second print map of the sequence of print maps. The method further includes exposing, by the energy source, resin stored in the resin container at the print plane according to the modified second print map.
