Solution Overview
Problem
Existing processing apparatuses struggle to efficiently form structures or remove parts from objects by irradiating them with processing lights, as they often fail to precisely control the intensity distribution, shape, or size of the irradiation areas.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a single processing light is used to irradiate the object surface, then the device complexity is low, but the manufacturing precision and processing accuracy are insufficient due to inability to control intensity distribution, shape, and size of irradiation areas
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides a single processing light into multiple processing lights (first, second, and third processing lights) that can be independently controlled. Each processing light has adjustable intensity distribution, irradiation shape, and size parameters. This segmentation allows precise control over the irradiation pattern on the object surface, enabling high-precision processing while maintaining relatively simple device structure through independent control of each light source.
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple processing lights are used with adjustable intensity distribution, then the manufacturing precision improves, but the device complexity increases due to additional control mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements local quality control by enabling independent adjustment of intensity distribution for each processing light. The first, second, and third processing lights can have different intensity profiles tailored to specific processing requirements. This allows different regions of the object surface to receive customized irradiation patterns, achieving high manufacturing precision without requiring complex centralized control systems.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the irradiation area shape and size are fixed, then the device complexity is low, but the adaptability to different processing requirements is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic control of irradiation parameters by allowing real-time adjustment of intensity distribution, irradiation shape, and size for each processing light. The processing lights can dynamically adapt their characteristics based on the specific processing requirements, enabling the same device to handle diverse processing tasks with high versatility while maintaining manageable device complexity through standardized control interfaces.
