ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING VERTICAL STAGE FOR MOVING PHOTOCURED MATERIAL IN A NON-PERPENDICULAR DIRECTION FROM THE IMAGE PLANE
There is provided an additive manufacturing system (10) comprising a vertical stage (12) (also known as a z-stage) that moves the object (14) being created along an axis of motion that is not perpendicular to the image plane (non-parallel to the z-axis of the image plane). By moving the build platfo...

Zusammenfassung: | There is provided an additive manufacturing system (10) comprising a vertical stage (12) (also known as a z-stage) that moves the object (14) being created along an axis of motion that is not perpendicular to the image plane (non-parallel to the z-axis of the image plane). By moving the build platform (16), upon which the additively manufactured object (14) is being supported, along a predetermined axis of motion, such as one adapted to the dominant axis of the object design, the additive manufacturing system (10) is capable of making larger objects, shortening build times, improving part resolution, and/or reducing the volume of photocurable material needed, among other benefits.
L'invention concerne un système de fabrication additive (10) comprenant un étage vertical (12) (également appelé étage z) qui déplace l'objet (14) en cours de création le long d'un axe de déplacement qui n'est pas perpendiculaire au plan d'image (non parallèle à l'axe z du plan d'image). Le déplacement de la plate-forme de construction (16), sur laquelle l'objet fabriqué de manière additive (14) est supporté, le long d'un axe de déplacement prédéterminé, tel un axe adapté à l'axe dominant de la conception de l'objet, permet notamment au système de fabrication additive (10) de fabriquer de grands objets, de raccourcir les temps de construction, d'améliorer la résolution des parties et/ou de réduire le volume de matériau photodurcissable nécessaire. |
