[0013] Furthermore, the control module determines the eligibility of the initial parameter settings for light curing based on the material curing characteristic value after pre-printing, wherein if the material curing characteristic value is less than a first preset curing characteristic value, the initial parameter settings for light curing are determined to be unqualified, and a first preset exposure time is increased based on the difference between the first preset curing characteristic value and the material curing characteristic value;

[0014] If the material curing characteristic value is greater than or equal to the first preset curing characteristic value and less than the second preset curing characteristic value, the initial parameter setting of the light curing is determined to be unqualified, and the eligibility of the initial parameter setting of the light curing is re-determined based on the shrinkage rate of the material;

[0034] Furthermore, the present invention introduces a pre-printing process, and through phased testing of layered curing and online cleaning, parameter setting problems can be identified and corrected in advance, thereby avoiding batch defects in formal printing and reducing material waste.

[0035] Furthermore, when the present invention determines that the initial parameter settings of photocuring are unqualified based on the curing characteristic values of the material after pre-printing, the first preset exposure time is increased, or the eligibility of the initial parameter settings of photocuring is secondarily determined based on the shrinkage rate of the material. Through the intelligent parameter dynamic adjustment mechanism and double judgment, the accuracy and flexibility of printing parameter adjustment are increased.
