[0028] In the present invention, when printing is required, a digital three-dimensional model is created through computer-aided design software. After creation, the three-dimensional model is imported into the control software of the printing device 4. The software slices the model and divides it into many thin layers. Next, the printing device 4 controls the nozzle or other molding components according to the slice information to stack the material layer by layer according to the predetermined path. The material can be plastic, metal, ceramic, resin and other types. After each layer of material is stacked, it will be cured or bonded to form a solid plane. Then continue to stack the next layer, and repeat this process until the entire object is printed. During the printing process, a small amount of material extruded by the nozzle will overflow onto the carrier plate 2. After printing, take out the printed model. After taking it out, if you need to clean the dirt remaining on the surface of the carrier plate 2, press the flat rod 72 into the fixed frame 71.
