Embodiment Construction

[0154] To facilitate an understanding of the embodiments, principles and features of the invention, which will be described herein below, reference is made to its implementation in the illustrative embodiments. In particular, they are described in the context of a continuously moving rapid modeling system and method.

[0155] However, embodiments of the invention are not limited to use in the described systems. Rather, embodiments of the present invention can be used when a three-dimensional modeled object (eg, a casting) is desired or required. Thus, the system described hereafter as a continuous moving rapid modeling system and method can also be used as a system for many applications and many size objects.

[0156] The following description of components making up various embodiments is intended to be illustrative rather than restrictive. Numerous suitable components which perform the same or a similar function as the materials described herein are intended to be within t...

Abstract

Systems and methods for fabricating three-dimensional objects are disclosed. The system includes an optical imaging system providing a light source; a photosensitive medium adapted to change states upon exposure to a portion of the light source from the optical imaging system; a control system for controlling movement of the optical imaging system, wherein the optical imaging system moves continuously above the photosensitive medium. The method includes moving a maskless optical imaging system providing the light beam in a continuous sequence; presenting the light beam on a portion of the photosensitive medium; lowering a plate upon which the photosensitive medium resides; and applying a new layer of the photosensitive medium.
