[0053] At present, the main light-curing 3D printing technologies are stereolithography apparatus (SLA) printing and digital light processing (DLP) printing. However, during the printing process, factors such as resin purity, printing parameters, and complex structure of the printed model may cause defects such as staggered layers, delamination, bending and deformation of the printed workpiece, resulting in low quality. The current light-curing 3D printing equipment monitoring system mainly monitors the amount of resin box material and the liquid level height change of the resin tank through sensors, calculates the actual amount of material used in the printed workpiece, compares it with the expected amount of material used, and uses this to determine whether the printing process is normal. The printing quality is evaluated by material difference, the defect location and defect size are uncertain, and the accuracy is not high. If the liquid level height and quality difference required to be monitored are highly accurate, the sensor sensitivity requirements are higher, and the cost index rises.
[0054] At present, there are few systems that use optical principles to monitor light-curing 3D printing equipment in real time. Using optical monitoring, the accuracy can reach tens of microns. By judging the quality of the printed workpiece molding surface, the printing parameters (mainly the laser power of the incident laser irradiating the printed workpiece) are optimized or corrected, thereby preparing a higher-precision printed workpiece.
[0055] Based on this, the embodiments of the present invention provide a light-curing printing device monitoring system, method, device and storage medium, which can perform optical real-time monitoring of the printing process of the light-curing 3D printing device, thereby improving the quality of the printed workpiece.

[0058] A laser light path control unit 200, the laser light path control unit 200 is used to transmit laser light, and the laser light is used to irradiate the printed workpiece 300 to solidify the printed workpiece 300;
[0059] A coherent modulation imaging unit 400, which is used to receive a diffraction pattern formed after the laser passes through the cured printed workpiece molding surface, and to form an image according to the diffraction pattern;
[0060] A main control unit 500, which is connected to the coherent modulation imaging unit 400, and is used to acquire an image, and to judge the quality of the molding surface of the printed workpiece according to the image, and to send a modulation signal according to the judgment result;

[0062] The laser 100 outputs laser light, which is transmitted through the laser light path control unit 200 and irradiated onto the printed workpiece 300 to realize photocuring 3D printing. The coherent modulation imaging unit 400 receives the diffraction pattern formed after the laser passes through the cured printed workpiece molding surface (the printed workpiece molding surface is the layer being printed), forms an image based on the diffraction pattern, and sends it to the main control unit 500. The main control unit 500 obtains the image, judges the quality of the printed workpiece molding surface based on the image, and sends a modulation signal to the laser control unit 600 based on the judgment result. The laser control unit 600 modulates the laser transmitted by the laser light path control unit 200 according to the modulation signal. The entire monitoring process is carried out in real time, and the accuracy can reach tens of microns by using optical monitoring, with high reliability, so that the incident laser irradiating the printed workpiece can be adaptively adjusted to meet the printing requirements of the printed workpiece, thereby preparing a higher precision printed workpiece.
[0063] In some embodiments, the laser 100 is one or more of a solid laser, a gas laser, a semiconductor laser, and a common ultraviolet lamp.
[0064] In some embodiments, the main control unit 500 can be implemented by a device with data processing capability, such as a processor, a main controller, a single chip microcomputer, a PC, etc.
[0065] Reference Figure 2 , is a schematic diagram of the structure of a light-curing 3D printing equipment monitoring system provided by another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the laser light path control unit 200 includes:
[0066] The coupling assembly 210 includes a collimator 211, a lens 212 and a beam splitter 213. The collimator 211 is used to convert the laser output by the laser 100 into parallel light, the lens 212 is used to converge the parallel light, and the beam splitter 213 is used to divide the converged parallel light into an incident laser and a feedback laser. The incident laser is used to irradiate the printed workpiece, and the feedback laser is used to be input into the laser control unit 600 so that the laser control unit 600 calculates the power of the feedback laser.
[0067] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the laser light path control unit 200 also includes:
[0068] The galvanometer 220 is used to receive the incident laser beam split by the beam splitter 213 and position the incident laser beam. The galvanometer 220 is driven by a motor to rotate back and forth along the axis at high speed to achieve the purpose of changing the path of the laser beam. The incident laser beam is positioned by the galvanometer 220 so that the incident laser beam can be transmitted along the path to the projection mirror.
[0069] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the laser light path control unit 200 also includes:
[0070] The projection mirror 230 is aimed at the printed workpiece 300. The projection mirror 230 is used to converge the incident laser after positioning so that its focus is aligned with the printed workpiece 300. In some embodiments, the projection mirror 230 includes a projection lens and an aperture diaphragm. The laser from the projection lens passes through the aperture diaphragm and is irradiated onto the printed workpiece.
[0071] In some embodiments, the projection lens may be a refractive, catadioptric, reflective, or diffractive microscope objective or a refractive, catadioptric, reflective, or diffractive lithography lens.
[0072] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the coherent modulation imaging unit 400 includes a coherent modulation unit 410 and an optical imaging unit 420, the coherent modulation unit 410 is connected to the optical imaging unit 420, and the optical imaging unit 420 is connected to the main control unit 500;
[0073] The optical imaging unit 420 is used to receive the diffraction pattern formed after the incident laser passes through the solidified printed workpiece molding surface, and form an image according to the diffraction pattern;
[0074] The coherent modulation unit 410 is used to control the phase of the laser beam that passes through the solidified molding surface of the printed workpiece.
[0075] In some embodiments, the coherent modulation unit 410 uses a phase plate. The optical imaging unit 420 includes an image sensor. The image sensor receives the diffraction pattern formed after the incident laser passes through the cured printed workpiece molding surface, collects light intensity distribution data, generates an image according to the diffraction pattern, and sends it to the main control unit 500. The coherent modulation unit 410 can modulate the phase of the laser passing through the cured printed workpiece molding surface during the above optical imaging process, and can enhance the interference effect of different parts of the laser light wave passing through the printed workpiece molding surface, so that the image sensor can collect light wave data with more printed workpiece information to form a higher quality image.
[0076] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the laser control unit 600 includes an acousto-optic modulation unit 610 and a laser power metering unit 620 .
[0077] The laser power metering unit 620 is connected to the main control unit 500. The laser power metering unit 620 is used to receive the feedback laser split by the beam splitter 213 and calculate the power of the feedback laser and send it to the main control unit 500. The main control unit 500 is used to judge whether the power of the feedback laser needs to be adjusted according to the quality of the workpiece forming surface. If adjustment is required, a modulation signal is sent to the acousto-optic modulation unit 610.
[0078] The acousto-optic modulation unit 610 is connected to the main control unit 500 and the collimator 211 . The acousto-optic modulation unit 610 is used to receive a modulation signal and modulate the intensity of the parallel light output by the collimator 211 according to the modulation signal.
[0079] Specifically, the laser power metering unit 620 calculates the power of the feedback laser and sends it to the main control unit 500. The main control unit 500 determines the quality of the printed workpiece molding surface based on the image. Specifically, it can determine the morphology of the printed workpiece molding surface by whether the image clarity, grayscale change and other parameters are within a preset range, thereby determining the quality. If it is determined that the quality of the printed workpiece molding surface does not meet the requirements (the error is too large), the main control unit 500 determines that the power of the feedback laser needs to be adjusted, and sends a modulation signal to the acousto-optic modulation unit 610. The acousto-optic modulation unit 610 modulates the intensity of the parallel light output by the collimator 211 according to the modulation signal; if it is determined that the quality of the printed workpiece molding surface meets the requirements, the main control unit 500 determines that the power of the feedback laser does not need to be adjusted, and does not send a modulation signal.
[0080] It is worth noting here that if it is determined that the quality of the molding surface of the printed workpiece does not meet the requirements, the main control unit 500 can also send a modulation signal to the galvanometer 220, or simultaneously send a modulation signal to the galvanometer 220 and the acousto-optic modulation unit 610. Sending a modulation signal to the galvanometer 220 can adjust the parameters of the galvanometer 220, specifically the laser beam path.

[0086] An image is acquired, the quality of the molding surface of the printed workpiece is judged according to the image, a modulation signal is sent according to the judgment result, and a laser used to cure the printed workpiece is modulated according to the modulation signal.
[0087] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, step S200 includes:

[0090] S230, judging that the quality of the molding surface of the printed workpiece meets the requirements;
[0091] S240, determining that the quality of the molding surface of the printed workpiece does not meet the requirements.
[0092] In some embodiments, the error between the image and the preset image can be specifically calculated by the difference between the image's clarity, grayscale change and other parameters and the preset image's clarity, grayscale change and other parameters. By judging whether the error is within a preset range, it is judged whether the quality of the printed workpiece molding surface meets the requirements.
