3D PRINTING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A three-dimensional (3D) printing apparatus comprising:
- a modeling material circulating device to circulate a modeling material for modeling a 3D model;
a light source device to supply light to the modeling material such that the modeling material is cured;
a stage to receive the modeling material cured through the light source, wherein the stage is disposed to face the modeling material circulating device;
a stage driving part to provide a driving force for moving the stage;
a modeling material supply device to supply the modeling material to the modeling material circulating device;
a modeling material collecting device to collect the modeling material circulating on the modeling material circulating device; and
a modeling material recycling device coupled to the modeling material collecting device to filter the collected modeling material and to resupply the filtered modeling material to the modeling material circulating device.

Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) printing apparatus is provided. The 3D printing apparatus includes a modeling material circulating part for circulating a modeling material for modeling a 3D model, a light source unit disposed on one side of the modeling material circulating part to supply light toward the modeling material so that the modeling material is cured, a stage on which the modeling material cured through the light source unit is seated, the stage being disposed to face the modeling material circulating part, a stage driving part connected to the stage to provide a driving force for moving the stage, a modeling material supply part for supplying the modeling material to the modeling material circulating part, a modeling material collecting part for collecting the modeling material, which passes through the light source unit, of the modeling material circulating by the modeling material circulating part, and a modeling material recycling part connected to the modeling material collecting part to filter the collected modeling material to resupply the filtered modeling material to the modeling material circulating part.
