Abstract

Abstract A photo-solidification modeling device for forming a solidified image having a desired model shape by exposing to light a liquid capable of being solidified in receipt of the light in a region corresponding to the desired model shape. Data indicative of a regularly spaced region is provided in addition to data indicative of the region corresponding to the desired model shape, and an exposure region is set according to the additional data. Accordingly, the generation of distortion of the model during the modeling process can be well suppressed without considering and inputting a position or the like of the supporting rib.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 72 words
A photo-solidification modeling device for forming a solidified image having a desired shape by exposing to light a liquid capable of being solidified in receipt of the light in a region corresponding to the desired shape, the device comprising means for providing data indicative of a regularly spaced region in addition to data indicative of said region corresponding to said desired shape and setting an exposure region according to said additional data.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 24 words
The system as defined in claim 1, wherein said regularly spaced region to be added is selectable from plural kinds of predetermined regular patterns.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 21 words
The system as defined in claim 1 or 2, wherein said regularly spaced region is added within a settable spatial range.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 38 words
The system as defined in claim 3, wherein said spatial range is selectable from a whole region outside said desired shape, a whole region below said desired shape, and a whole region inside and outside said desired shape.
Claim 5
Independent Claim 62 words
A method of forming a solid image having a desired shape, the method comprising the steps of: exposing a liquid, capable of being solidified in response to light, to light in a region corresponding to the desired shape; generating data representative of a regular region different from said desired shape; and further exposing said liquid to light in accordance with said data.
