Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of DLP printers, and in particular relates to a surround-type DLP printer. Background Art
[0002] The surround DLP printer is a 3D printing device that uses digital light processing technology. It projects patterns layer by layer onto photosensitive resin through a high-resolution digital projector, which cures it quickly. Through layer-by-layer projection and curing, a complete three-dimensional object is finally constructed. The printer's light source or projection system is arranged around the printing platform or resin tank, and the resin layer is evenly illuminated from multiple angles through a surround method, reducing shadows and dead angles, and improving printing accuracy and uniformity.
[0003] Generally, after projecting the pattern onto the photosensitive resin, the printer uses a scraper to evenly process the printing platform to construct a three-dimensional object. However, when the device works in different temperature environments, the gap between the scraper and the printing platform may be affected due to the thermal expansion and contraction characteristics of the material. When the gap is too large or too small, the scraper may not be able to completely scrape the resin flat, which not only affects the aesthetics of the resin coating, but may also have a negative impact on the performance of the resin coating.
[0004] To solve the above problems, this application proposes a surround DLP printer. Utility Model Content
