Abstract:
1. A method of producing a part using a three-dimensional modeler, wherein the modeler produces the part by selectively curing layers of a solidifiable liquid material with actinic radiation projected from an imager, the method comprising: determining an intensity profile of the actinic radiation projected from the imager; providing a single layer of the solidifiable liquid material proximate an image plane of the modeler; projecting the actinic radiation in a plurality of patterns to selectively cure the single layer of the solidifiable liquid material, wherein the patterns are substantially correlated to the intensity profile of the actinic radiation; providing a single layer of the solidifiable liquid material proximate the image plane of the modeler; and repeating the projecting of actinic radiation and the providing of a single layer to produce the part.
