    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a distortion and to rapidly form a three-dimensional object by forming a layer of a liquid-like material on an object formed layer, exposing the material layer with a stimulus, forming a next layer connected to the object formed layer, repeating the steps, and forming the object by the layers bonded to each other. SOLUTION: In the apparatus for stereolithographically forming a three- dimensional object forms the object of layers bonded to each other by alternately repeating forming of a coating of a material and selectively curing the coating. The forming is started in the state that an elevation base 20 is sunk by a thickness of one layer under an upper surface 30 of a photopolymerizable material 14. The coating of the material 14 is selectively exposed with a stimulus beam, the material of the exposed portion is cured to a desired depth, and an initially cured layer stuck to the base 20 is formed. After the first formation of the cured layer, the base 20 and the one initial cured layer adhered to the base 20 and of a net thickness of the one layer is sunk in the material. Thus, the distortion is reduced, and the forming speed of the object can be accelerated.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make high resolution objects by stereolithography utilizing low-resolution materials which are limited by their inability to form unsupported structures of required thinness and/or their inability to form coatings of a required thinness. SOLUTION: Data manipulation techniques, based on layer comparisons, are used to control exposure in order to delay solidification of the material on at least portions of at least some cross-sections until higher layers of material are deposited so as to allow down-facing features of the object to be located at a depth in the building material which is equal to or exceeds a minimum cure depth that can effectively be used for solidifying these features. Similar data manipulations are used to ensure a minimum reliable coating thicknesses exist, above previously solidified material, before attempting solidification of a next layer. In addition, horizontal comparison techniques are used to provide enhanced cross-sectional data for use in forming the object. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To rapidly form a three-dimensional object by separating primary layers through a secondary layer, forming a primary cured layer corresponding to a primary layer, selectively exposing the primary layer for forming a secondary cured layer, and selectively exposing the secondary layer for forming a secondary cured layer corresponding to the secondary layer. SOLUTION: One set of S pieces of layers is provided, and a plurality of coating parameters capable of being designated for M pieces of groups of the layers are provided. The first group of the layers is a group containing primary layers, and the second group of the layers is a group containing N pieces of secondary layers. The primary layer is provided at each five layers. On the secondary layer, only a profile, an upward surface area and a downward surface area are formed. On the primary layer, a profile, an upward surface area, a downward surface area and a connected surface area are formed by sufficient exposure to cure a plurality of the previously formed secondary layers and to bring the secondary layer into close contact with the cured layer formed in the case that the primary layer is disposed on a surface of the material. Thus, a large quantity of time can be saved.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form a three-dimensional object by exposing the object to first and second beams to form a next layer of the object according to data for altering a layer of the material, repeating forming of the layer and exposing to a stimulation, and forming the object of a plurality of layers bonded to each other. SOLUTION: Data representing a three-dimensional object is formed by a computer 67. First and second beams are output from a laser head 70 to a pair of X-Y scanning mirrors 82 through an optical path 85 via an AOM 72, k a first frequency conversion crystal 74, a second frequency conversion crystal 76, a pair of optical path turning mirror 78 and a condensing optical system 80. A next layer is formed on the layer of the object 15 of a material 15 by the pair of the mirrors 82 while altering the data by manipulating the data. Thus, forming the layer of the object 15 and exposing to the stimulation are repeated, and the object 15 is formed of a plurality of layers bonded to each other.
