  • 3D printer capable of multiple sub-printing actions, and sub-printing method for using the same
    Patent number: 10569472
    Abstract: A sub-printing method for a 3D printer (1) includes following steps: obtaining slicing data (3) of a printing layer by the 3D printer (1) when performing printing; executing a logical segmentation action on the slicing data (3) according to a default segment-template (101) for generating multiple printing blocks (4); labelling each printing block (4) according to a default printing rule for deciding printing orders of the multiple printing blocks (4); controlling the 3D printer (1) to perform multiple sub-printing actions successively according to the printing blocks (4) based on the decided printing orders; and, re-executing above steps before all printing layers of a 3D model are completely printed.
