  • Publication number: 20220168960
    Abstract: A method of 3D printing a part using a photopolymer build material including the steps of characterizing a three-dimensional curved surface using a mathematical equation and a specification; characterizing at least one surface transition between at least two parallel slice planes that intersect the characterized three-dimensional curved surface using a surface transition equation; generating at least one set of 3D printing instructions to selectively solidify the photopolymer build material; and 3D printing the part using the at least one set of 3D printing instructions.

  • Patent number: 9386236
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of obtaining multiple images with a spatially varying periodic fringe pattern produced by a digital light projector that is spatially and temporally synchronized to the rolling shutter exposure of a two-dimensional pixel array detector. Two or more images obtained with phase-shifted spatial fringe patterns are combined to form a composite image with the spatial fringes and other unwanted scattered light removed.

  • Patent number: 8237835
    Abstract: A digital imaging device comprising a light source, a pixel array detector having a rolling shutter functionality, a spatial light modulator configured to produce one or more modulation patterns during a frame exposure of the pixel array detector, and at least one timing signal configured to control a spatial-temporal relationship between a rolling shutter of the pixel array detector and the one or more modulation patterns provided by the spatial light modulator.
