Deposition data collection apparatus and three-dimensional object manufacturing system including the same

A deposition data collection apparatus comprising:

• a printing unit including:
• an extruder for ejecting a material supplied from an external material source;
• and
• a printer head for moving the extruder in a predetermined direction such that the material ejected from the extruder are sequentially deposited on an XYZ coordinate system to form a target three-dimensional object;
• and
• a scanning unit including:
• a sensing module for sensing movement of at least one of the extruder and the printer head;
• and
• a data collection module for chronologically collecting material deposition data, based on the movement sensed by the sensing module,
• wherein the extruder is coupled to the printer head so as to move along the printer head,
• wherein the printing unit further includes:
• a printer base installed to be spaced apart from the printer head in a Z-axis direction on the XYZ coordinate system;
• and
• at least one hinge pin for hinge-coupling the printer head and the printer base to each other such that the printer head is moveable in at least one of an X-axis direction and a Y-axis direction on the XYZ coordinate system,
• wherein the sensing module includes an X-Y axial sensor for sensing at least one of:
• a first inclination angle indicating an angle at which each of the at least one hinge pin is inclined from the Z-axis direction toward the X-axis direction on the XYZ coordinate system;
• and
• a second inclination angle indicating an angle at which each of the at least one hinge pin is inclined from the Z-axis direction toward the Y-axis direction on the XYZ coordinate system, and
• wherein the data collection module calculates a movement coordinate of the extruder in at least one of the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction based on at least one of the first inclination angle and the second inclination angle sensed by the X-Y axial sensor.
