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: An improved additive fabrication device includes a build platform, a vessel designed to hold a liquid photopolymer, and an optical system featuring a micro-LED panel. The micro-LED panel, comprising multiple pixels, projects actinic energy toward the photopolymer in the vessel. The panel selectively activates pixels according to a mask pattern, enabling precise control over the fabrication process. This innovative device offers a streamlined approach to additive manufacturing, utilizing advanced optical technology for efficient and accurate production of complex structures.

According to some aspects, a movable stage may be arranged beneath a container having a base that includes a flexible film. The movable stage may include a segmented member in which a number of segments are aligned along a common axis. The segmented member may maintain contact with the flexible film as the movable stage moves beneath the container, with the segmented member producing a flat surface of the flexible film, at least within a region above the movable stage. According to some embodiments, multiple segmented members may be provided within the movable stage, such as in parallel with one another.

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.

摘要: Techniques for force sensing in additive fabrication are provided. According to some aspects, an additive fabrication device may include a force sensor configured to measure a force applied to a build platform during fabrication. A length of time taken for a layer of material to separate from a surface other than the build platform to which it is adhered may be determined based on measurements from the force sensor. Subsequent additive fabrication operations, such as subsequent motion of the build platform, may be adapted based on the determined length of time.
