Abstract: A solid imaging method employing sub-pixel shifting in multiple exposures of the digitally light projected image of a cross-section of a three-dimensional object on a solidifiable liquid medium. The multiple exposures provide increased resolution, preserving image features in a three-dimensional object and smoothing out rough or uneven edges that would otherwise occur using digital light projectors that are limited by the number of pixels in an image projected over the size of the image. Algorithms are used to select pixels to be illuminated within the boundary of each image projected in the cross-section being exposed.

Abstract: An illumination system includes optics capable of adjusting the size of a beam of light and adjusting the focus of the beam of light. Spot size control optics adjusts the overall size of the beam of light and separately adjusts the ellipticity of the beam, primarily in one dimension. Light from the spot size control optics passes to focus control optics that control the overall focus of the beam of light and adjust the astigmatism of the beam by altering the focus position of the beam of light in one dimension. The laser system, the spot size control optics and the focus control optics are within an enclosure. Actuators under remote control from outside of the enclosure adjust both of the spot size control optics and focus control optics in the thermal environment of the illumination system.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method of using the apparatus wherein a radiation emitter (140) is positioned adjacent a sensor means (142,144,145) within a process chamber (102) in a laser sinter system (100) that emits radiation to the sensor means and a calibration means receives readings from the sensor means (142,144,145) to compare temperature sensings received from the sensor means with set emission signals from the radiation emitter (140) to adjust the temperature sensings to thereby calibrate the sensor means during the forming of a three-dimensional article. The calibration is done repeatedly during the build process of the three-dimensional article (Fig. 1).
