Abstract:
A 3D printing method adapted for a 3D printer is provided. The 3D printer includes a tank filled with a liquid-state forming material, a platform, a curing module and a control module. At least one of the tank and the platform as well as the curing module are electrically connected to the control module to be controlled by the same, and a 3D object is formed on the platform. The 3D printing method includes analyzing a model of the 3D object to obtain a layered information; the control module correspondingly distributes the layered information at a plurality of forming positions at the bottom of the tank. A forming layer is cured by the curing module and located at a forming position, and then the platform and the tank rotate relatively to move the forming layer to another forming position, and another forming layer is formed at the another forming position.

Claim (Index 1):
A three-dimensional (3D) printing method, adapted for a 3D printer, the 3D printer comprising a tank, a platform, a curing module and a control module, the tank filled with a liquid-state forming material, the control module electrically connected to the tank, the platform and the curing module respectively to perform control to form a 3D object on the platform, characterized in comprising:\n analyzing a model of the 3D object to obtain a layered information {A m }=A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , . . . , A x  of the 3D object, m and x being positive integers, and x\u22652; the control module distributing the layered information at a plurality of forming positions {P n }=P 1 , P 2 , P 3 , . . . , P y  at a bottom of the tank, n and y being positive integers, and y\u22652; and the control module driving the platform to be moved to the tank to contact the liquid-state forming material, and driving the curing module to cure the liquid-state forming material at a forming position (P n ), and after a forming layer (A m ) being formed on the platform, the control module driving the tank to rotate relative to the platform, such that after the forming layer (A m ) is removed from the forming position (P n ) and the forming layer (A 1 ) corresponds to another forming position (P n+1 ), the control module driving the curing module again to cure the liquid-state forming material at said another forming position (P n+1 ) to form and stack another forming layer (A m+1 ) on the forming layer (A m ) until the 3D object is completed.
