  • Patent number: 10059060
    Abstract: A three-dimensional printing apparatus includes a movable member with a holder secured thereto, a sensor detecting whether a position of the movable member is equal to or higher than a first position or is lower than the first position, a storage device storing an origin position lower than the first position by a first distance, and a determination device determining whether deviation from the origin position has occurred. The determination device includes a first moving unit moving the movable member to the origin position, a second moving unit moving the movable member toward a second position, which is higher than the origin position by a sum of the first distance and a second distance, and a first determination unit determining that deviation from the origin position has occurred unless the sensor detects that the position of the movable member is equal to or higher than the first position before the movable member reaches the second position.
