Three-dimensional printing apparatus
First Claim
1. A three-dimensional printing apparatus, comprising:
- a tank, filled with a liquid-state forming material;
a movable platform, movably disposed at the tank, wherein a portion of the movable platform is immersed in the liquid-state forming material;
a rotating shaft, disposed under the tank;
a rotating arm, connected with the rotating shaft, wherein the rotating arm is driven by the rotating shaft to rotate; and
at least one light source, disposed on the rotating arm to rotate with the rotating arm,wherein the light source provides light to irradiate the liquid-state forming material to solidify a portion of the liquid-state forming material in layers along with the portion of the movable platform moving in the liquid-state forming material to form a three-dimensional object on the movable platform.

Abstract
A three-dimensional printing apparatus including a tank filled with a liquid-state forming material, a platform disposed at the tank, a rotating shaft, a rotating arm, and at least one light source is provided. The rotating shaft is disposed under the tank or above the tank. The rotating arm connects to the rotating shaft such that the rotating arm is driven by the rotating shaft to rotate. The light source disposed on the rotating arm rotates along with the rotating arm and generates light projecting toward the forming material along with the part of the platform moving in the forming material, such that the forming material is solidified in layers and forms a three-dimensional object on the platform.
