Abstract
A multi-station stereolithographic group, includes: support and movement apparatus for a modelling plate with respect to a fixed base facing the modelling plate, the fixed base including at least two work stations positioned in respective areas able to be reached by the modelling plate moved by the support and movement apparatus. Such a fixed base includes at least three work stations: at least one first station for forming an object, at least one second station for washing a formed object, at least one third station for stabilising a formed object.
Claims8
A multi-station stereolithographic system, comprising:
- support and movement means for a modelling plate with respect to a fixed base facing said modelling plate,
- the modelling plate attached to the support and movement means,
- said fixed base comprising at least three work stations positioned in respective areas able to be reached by said modelling plate moved by said support and movement means,
- the at least three work stations comprising:
- at least one first station configured for forming an object,
- at least one second station configured for washing a formed object,
- at least one third station configured for a post-curing process of a formed object,
- said support and movement means comprising:
- a tower configured for supporting said modelling plate, said support tower extending from said fixed base in a main direction of extension transversal with respect to a reference plane of said fixed base,
- a motor configured for the rotation of said tower with respect to the fixed base about a rotation axis perpendicular to the reference plane,
- an actuator configured for the movement of the modelling plate away from and towards said fixed base, and
- a motor configured for the rotation of said tower about an axis parallel to the reference plane.
