  • Patent number: 11090866
    Abstract: In a an apparatus and a method for manufacturing a stereoscopic shape using a laser and a powder, the apparatus includes a chamber, a powder supplier, a table, a cotter, a first laser head, a first stage, a second laser head and a second stage. The powder supplier provides a predetermined quantity of powder. The powder is sequentially integrated to be a plurality of powder layers in the table. The cotter moves between the powder supplier and the table, and forms the powder to be a predetermined thickness. The first laser head has a first scanner and a first F theta lens, and irradiates a first laser beam to the powder layer. The first stage transfers the first laser head. The second laser head has a second scanner and a second F theta lens, and irradiates a second laser beam. The second stage transfers the second laser head.

  • Patent number: 6238614
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method, which infiltrates super-heated material between preheated powder particles and therefore minimizes heat deformation and increases measurement accuracy. A rapid prototyping apparatus in accordance with the present invention comprises powder material spreading means 10, dispensing infiltration material means 20, laser beam scanning means 30, and control means. The powder material spreading means spread out powders 61 on the surface of platform 52 uniformly while moving along the X axis. The powders are the main material of desired products. The dispensing infiltration material means dispense infiltration materials 63 while moving along three axes and the super-heated infiltration materials 64 by laser beam 43 are infiltrated between the powders selectively. The laser beam scanning means preheat the powders by laser beam 42 within the melting point of the powders and super-heat the infiltration material by laser beam 43.
