Three-dimensional printing prototyping system
First Claim
1. A three-dimensional printing prototyping system including a prototyping chamber having a prototyping table capable of moving up and down by a predetermined range, a material containing chamber containing a powder material and having a material supply table capable of moving up and down by a predetermined range, and a material supplying means for supplying the powder material contained in the material containing chamber to the prototyping table as much as a sectional thickness corresponding to divided section data of a three-dimensional prototype to be prototyped, said system comprising:
- a printing head for injecting a photocuring adhesive material to a region, corresponding to the sectional data, on the powder material supplied to the prototyping table;
a curing device for photocuring at least the region on which the adhesive material is injected; and
a control computer for controlling the printing head and the curing device such that the adhesive material is injected and cured, respectively, on the region corresponding to the divided section data of the three-dimensional prototype.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a three-dimensional printing prototyping system which includes a prototyping chamber having a prototyping table capable of moving up and down by a predetermined range, a material containing chamber containing a powder material and having a material supply table capable of moving up and down by a predetermined range, and a material supplying means for supplying the powder material contained in the material containing chamber to the prototyping table as much as a sectional thickness corresponding to divided section data of a three-dimensional prototype to be prototyped. The system of the present invention comprises a printing head for injecting a photocuring adhesive material to a region, corresponding to the sectional data, on the powder material supplied to the prototyping table; a curing device for photocuring at least the region on which the adhesive material is injected; and a control computer for controlling the printing head and the curing device such that the adhesive material is injected and cured, respectively, on the region corresponding to the divided section data of the three-dimensional prototype. According to the present invention, a period of time required in curing a three-dimensional prototype can be remarkably shortened and the three-dimensional prototype with its superior solidity can be obtained.
