Abstract:
A 3D printing system (10) for manufacturing at least one physical object comprises at least one reservoir (12) for receiving hardenable material; at least one light engine (22) configured to irradiate light onto a focal plane within the reservoir of the hardenable material to form a layer of hardened material; at least one build platform (18) for carrying the physical object to be manufactured; and a controller configured to select at least one or at least two optical resolutions from two or more optical resolutions available in the 3D printing system for irradiating the hardenable material based on a predetermined surface quality of the physical object to be manufactured.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a 3D printing system comprising a 3D printing device for manufacturing at least two workpieces. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing at least two workpieces by means of the 3D printing system. Furthermore, the invention relates to an adapter set for attaching workpiece holders to a 3D printing device.
Abstract:
A device (1) for spinning a 3D printed workpiece (100). The device has a rotor (2) for spinning about a spinning axis (A) and a receptacle (8) for holding the workpiece (100). The receptacle (8) is pivotally attached to the rotor (2) for swiveling about a swivel axis (B) that is transverse to the spinning axis (A). The pivotal attachment enables swiveling of the receptacle (8) between a first angular orientation relative to the spinning axis (A) and a different second angular orientation relative to the spinning axis (A). The device (1) further has a balancing weight (9) that is movably arranged relative to the receptacle (8). The balancing weight (9) is lockable at different distances relative to the receptacle (8).
Abstract:
A dental light polymerization device has a polymerization light source and a camera. The dental light polymerization device comprises an actively movable light reflector. The invention provides for emitting light for polymerization of a dental material and capturing an image in the same dental light polymerization device.
Abstract:
A dental material dispensing device has a plunger means which for dispensing the dental material is movable for urging at least one component of a dental material toward a dispensing area. The device further has cure control means with an energy source and a flow path on which the dental composition and/or the dental material flows past the energy source during dispensation. The device is operable for exposing the dental composition and/or the dental material to a specific energy by control of the energy source and/or by control of the speed of the flow of the dental composition and/or the dental material on the flow path. The device is configured for dispensing a coherent strand of dental material in a dispensing cycle. The device is further configured for operating in a first dispensing mode and additionally in a second dispensing mode during the same dispensing cycle. The ratio between the specific energy in the second dispensing mode and the specific energy in the first dispensing mode is smaller than 1.
