Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform the automatic designing economically with rapidity and high reliability by providing a step to partially change stored sets of data for defining the solid part of the shape of an object and coverting the solid part into a part consisting of a region where it is cured or a region where it is maintained in an uncured state according to each of exposure levels. SOLUTION: When a design displayed on the output image screen of a computer is satisfactory, parts are manufactured and when the design needs to be corrected, a change is repeatedly made through the computer. In this case, a pattern for stimulating each of many superposed thin layers 30a, 30b, 30c of a transferable fluid medium 22 is changed partially in a data processing step 25. Further, alteration data for converting the solid part to the part comprising a region where it is cured according to a first exposure level and a region where it is cured according to a second lower exposure level or a region where it is maintained in an uncured state while each of the thin layers 30a, 30b, 30c is initially formed, is created.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically form a structure for supporting a matter and a structure for fixing the matter to a stand in a stereo-lithography method for forming a three-dimensional matter. SOLUTION: A first means for prescribing a matter support structure especially formed in relation to a three-dimensional matter to be formed and a second means for automatically forming the three-dimensional matter in response to especially formed data are provided. The especially formed data prescribes a web sufficiently thin to facilitate the detachment from the matter after formed or a web sufficiently long to reach the cross section of the matter or a support fixing the edge of a layer to a proper place until a crosshatch vector is drawn or a support preventing the deformation of a cantilever or a support attaching the part of a layer becoming a drifted layer.

Abstract: 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. The conversion of CAD/CAM data descriptive of the object into stereolithographic data used to trace cross-sections of the object is described.

Abstract: 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 structurally specified to reduce curl, stress and distortion in the ultimately formed object, 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. A stereolithographic distortion known as curl is defined, and several techniques to eliminate or reduce curl are described, including dashed line, bent line, secondary structure, rivets, and multi-pass techniques. In addition, a quantitative measurement of curl known as the curl factor, and a test part known as a quarter cylinder are described, which together can be used to measure the effectiveness of the above techniques in reducing curl.
