摘要： A method of forming a three-dimensional object in layerwise fashion by selectively solidifying a build material. The method solidifies the main part area, delays or pauses for a desired period of time to permit shrinkage to occur, and then, in multiple drawings of the main part borders, solidifies the borders from the portion closest to the main part outwardly to the portion farthest from the main part.

摘要： An improved stereolithography system for generating a three-dimensional object by creating a cross-sectional pattern of the object to be formed at a selected surface of a fluid medium capable of altering its physical state in response to appropriate synergistic stimulation by impinging radiation, particle bombardment or chemical reaction, information defining the object being specially processed to reduce curl and distortion, and increase resolution, strength, accuracy, speed and economy of reproduction even for rather difficult object shapes, the successive adjacent laminae, representing corresponding successive adjacent cross-sections of the object, being automatically formed and integrated together to provide a step-wise laminar buildup of the desired object, whereby a three-dimensional object is formed and drawn from a substantially planar surface of the fluid medium during the forming process.

摘要： A rapid prototyping and manufacturing (e.g. stereolithography) method and apparatus for making three-dimensional objects on a layer-by-layer basis by selectively exposing layers of material to prescribed synergistic stimulation including forming portions of a lamina using a first exposure, allowing a time delay, and then applying a second exposure. The time delay is sufficient to allow shrinkage of the material to occur that results from the first exposure. It is preferred that the solidified portion resulting from the first exposure does not adhere to the previously formed lamina. It is also preferred that the portion solidified by this first exposure does not adhere to any boundary region that may have been exposed and adhered to the previously formed lamina. The time delay associated with a given cross-sectional region may be occupied by exposing other cross-sectional regions. The delay may occur between two exposures of overlaying hatch or fill vectors. The delay may alternatively occur between exposure of hatch vectors and boundary vectors. The time delay may be determined by a clock, or alternatively, the time delay may be considered to have lapsed upon certain physical conditions being met, such as detecting the amount of shrinkage and determining that it has progressed far enough for the second exposure to occur.

摘要： A rapid prototyping and manufacturing (e.g. stereolithography) method and apparatus for making high resolution objects utilizing low resolution materials which are limited by their inability to reliably form coatings of a desired thickness. The formation of coatings of such materials is limited to a Minimum Recoating Depth (MRD), when formed over entirely solidified laminae, which is thicker than the desired layer thickness or object resolution. Data manipulation techniques result in layers of material (and laminae) of the object being categorized as non-consecutive primary layers (laminae) and secondary layers (laminae) positioned intermediate to the primary layers (laminae). Substantially, all portions of primary laminae are exposed in association with primary layers and portions of the secondary laminae are formed in association with their respective secondary layers while other portions of the secondary laminae are formed in association with primary layers so as to form the object with a higher resolution than that dictated by the spacing between the primary layers. Recoating techniques are described which can be used when the thickness between consecutive layers is less than a leading edge bulge phenomena that results from the use of a particular recoating device such that direction of sweeping and/or order of sweeping of the recoating device is varied between consecutive primary layers.

摘要： A rapid prototyping and manufacturing (e.g. stereolithography) method and apparatus for making three-dimensional objects with enhanced control of coating parameters used when forming layers of liquid or other fluid-like material in preparation for forming laminae of the object. The each lamina of the object is treated as either a primary laminae or secondary laminae. Only minority portions of the secondary layers are solidified when their associated layers are formed. Primary laminae are solidified in majority portions, along with previously unsolidified portions of secondary lamina, when their associated layers are formed. Recoating parameters are supplied for groups of primary layers and secondary layers such that coating formation may be controlled differently for primary layers and for secondary layers. Coating control for secondary layers may be based on the position of individual secondary layers, or sets of secondary layers, relative to the primary layers. The enhanced control leads to (1) more accurate layer formation, and/or (2) faster layer formation times for groups of successive layers.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for providing a vibrational enhancement to the recoating process in stereolithography are disclosed. The formation of a thin layer of building material over a previous layer of structure of a partially completed three-dimensional object, in preparation for formation of an additional layer of structure, is enhanced by the use of vibrational energy imparted to the building medium. In a first preferred apparatus, vibration is induced into the surface of the material by a plurality of vibrating needles that penetrate below the working surface to a sufficient depth to ensure adequate coupling but not deep enough to come into contact with the surface of the partially completed part. In a second preferred apparatus, vibration is coupled directly to the object support. The vibrational energy is then transmitted through the part to the surface of the building material. In a first preferred method the partially completed object is overcoated with material and vibration is used to reduce the coating thickness. In a second preferred method, the partially completed object is undercoated with material and vibration is used to increase the coating thickness.

摘要： A rapid prototyping and manufacturing (e.g. stereolithography) method and apparatus for making three-dimensional objects on a layer by layer basis by selectively exposing layers of material to prescribed stimulation, using a beam having a first smaller diameter and a beam having a second larger diameter, to form laminae of the object. The power of the smaller beam is typically lower than the power of the larger beam. Object formation is controlled by data representing portions of the layers to be exposed with the larger beam (large spot portions) and those portions to be exposed with the smaller beam (small spot portions). In a preferred embodiment, portions exposed with the larger beam are formed first, for a given layer. Portions are exposed with the small beam next. Thereafter the entire perimeter of the laminae is traced using the small beam. Data manipulation techniques are used to identify which portions may be formed with the large beam to decrease exposure time and which should be formed with the small beam to maintain accuracy of the lamina being formed. More than two beam diameters may be used.
