  • Publication number: 20150301517
    Abstract: A three dimensional printing apparatus and method for detecting printing anomaly are provided. The method is adapted to the three dimensional printing apparatus including an image sensor module and a movable platform. The three dimensional printing apparatus forms a plurality of layer objects on the movable platform according to three dimensional model information so as to build a three dimensional object including the layer objects. The method for detecting printing anomaly includes following steps. At least one object image is captured according to at least one view angle by using the image sensor module. At least one checking image associated with the layer objects is obtained according to the three dimensional model information and the view angle. Whether the object image and the checking image are matched to each other or not is determined through comparing the object image and the checking image.

  • Publication number: 20150290874
    Abstract: A three dimensional printing apparatus including a tank, a modeling platform, a first optical element, a second optical element, and a light source is provided. The modeling platform is movably disposed above the tank so as to move in or out the tank. The first and the second optical elements are respectively disposed next to the tank, wherein the second optical element is located above the first optical element. The light source is located below the tank. After a three dimensional object is formed on the modeling platform, the three dimensional object is moved out of the tank by the modeling platform. A first light generated by the light source is sequentially transmitted by the first and the second optical elements and detour round tank to irradiate the three dimensional object.

  • Publication number: 20150258736
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus of three-dimensional (3D) printing and an electronic apparatus are provided. The 3D printing method is adapted for printing a 3D object and includes the following. A plurality of layer objects of a 3D model are obtained, and a plurality of two-dimensional images, which correspond to a slice plane, of each of the layer objects are generated. The layer objects include a first layer object and a second layer object. When a comparison relationship between a two-dimensional image of the first layer object and a two-dimensional image of the second layer object matches a stack condition, the first layer object and the second layer object are stacked to generate thickness stack information of a stack object. A printing mechanism is initiated according to the thickness stack information so as to print a 3D object associated with the 3D model.

  • Publication number: 20150239174
    Abstract: A method of three-dimensional printing of the disclosure is used to form a three-dimensional object stacked by a plurality of layers of object unit. The method of three-dimensional printing includes: forming and curing a layer of uncolored body; forming a color layer at the contour of the layer of uncolored body so that the layer of uncolored body and the color layer form a layer of object unit; and forming a cover layer at the contour of the layer of object unit so that the color layer is located between the layer of uncolored body and the cover layer.

  • Publication number: 20150165695
    Abstract: A three-dimensional printing apparatus including a supporting platform, first tanks, an elevating platform disposed above the supporting platform, a light source module disposed corresponding to the elevating platform, and a control unit is provided. The first tanks are disposed on the supporting platform and filled with liquid forming materials respectively. After choosing one of the liquid forming materials, the control unit controls the supporting platform to move, in relative to the light source module and the elevating platform, till the chosen liquid forming material is moved to correspond to the light source module, so as to form a three-dimensional object through the chosen liquid forming material. Another three-dimensional printing apparatus is provided, in which a control unit controls the light source and the elevating platform to move to correspond to the chosen liquid forming material, so as to form a three-dimensional object through the chosen liquid forming material.

  • Publication number: 20150165678
    Abstract: A three-dimensional printing apparatus including a tank, a moving platform, a light source disposed below the tank, a detecting unit and a control unit is provided. The tank is filled with a liquid forming material and a separating liquid, wherein the specific density of the separating liquid is larger than the specific density of the liquid forming material, so that the separating liquid sinks between the tank and the liquid forming material. The control unit controls an initial depth at which the moving platform immerses into the liquid forming material, so as to form a three-dimensional object. A three-dimensional printing apparatus is also provided, wherein the light source thereof is disposed above the tank, and the specific density of the liquid forming material is larger than the specific density of the separating liquid, so that the liquid forming material sinks between the tank and the separating liquid.

  • Publication number: 20150151937
    Abstract: A paper feeding device and a multi-function printer using the same are provided. At least one paper is fed from a paper entrance toward a paper exit by the paper feeding device, and the paper feeding device includes a first feeding path, a second feeding path, a pickup roller component and a suction element. The first feeding path intersects with a first end of the second feeding path so as to form a first intersection. The pickup roller component is disposed on the first feeding path to feed the paper located at the paper entrance into the first feeding path. The suction element is disposed above the first intersection and provides a suction. When the paper passes through the pickup roller component and is located between the pickup roller component and the suction element, the suction element guides the paper closest to the suction element onto the first feeding path.
