Patent Classification: ["264", "406000"]

Abstract:
The present disclosure provides various apparatuses, systems, software, and methods for three-dimensional (3D) printing. The disclosure delineates various optical components of the 3D printing system, their usage, and their optional calibration. The disclosure delineates calibration of one or more components of the 3D printer (e.g., the energy beam).

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus for printing of at least one three-dimensional object comprising: at least one controller that is programmed to (a) direct an energy source to generate an energy beam to irradiate a calibration structure and generate a returning radiation from the calibration structure, which calibration structure comprises an identifiable border, wherein the energy beam forms a footprint on the calibration structure, wherein the returning radiation is emanating from the footprint, which energy beam is configured to transform a pre-transformed material to a transformed material to print the three-dimensional object; (b) direct the energy beam to translate across the identifiable border; (c) direct a detector to detect the returning radiation from the calibration structure; (e) direct evaluation of a deviation between the returning radiation and a target returning radiation value; and (f) use the deviation to control at least one characteristic of the energy beam to transform the pre-transformed material to the transformed material to print the three-dimensional object.
