  • Publication number: 20210339460
    Abstract: There is provided an optical shaping apparatus for readily implementing three-dimensional shaping with sufficiently high accuracy, including a material tank that has a bottom surface made of a light-transmitting material and accommodates a photo-curing liquid material, a light source unit that incorporates a driving mirror and scans the bottom surface with a laser beam, and a lifting mechanism that lifts a shaped object shaped by the laser beam from the material tank. The light source unit includes, as an optical engine, a housing, a laser diode that is arranged on one side in the housing and emits a laser beam, and the driving mirror that reflects reflected light from the laser diode by changing an angle in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction.
    Type: Application
