Abstract
A three-dimensional printing module includes a base seat, a sintering mechanism, a coloring mechanism and a forming mechanism. The base seat is movable relative to a powder layer. The sintering mechanism is mounted to the base seat for selectively sintering the powder layer to form a sintered layer. The coloring mechanism is mounted to the base seat, and is movable in a second direction relative to the base seat for selectively coloring the sintered layer to form a sintered and colored layer. The forming mechanism is mounted to the base seat for flattening the sintered and colored layer to form a solid layer.
Claims13
A three-dimensional printing module comprising:
- a base seat movable in a first direction;
- a sintering mechanism mounted to said base seat and adapted to selectively sinter a powder layer;
- a coloring mechanism mounted to said base seat, movable in a second direction, and adapted to selectively color the powder layer sintered by said sintering mechanism;
- and
- a forming mechanism mounted to said base seat and adapted to flatten the powder layer dealt with by said sintering and coloring mechanisms to forma solid layer.
A three-dimensional printer comprising:
- a machine body formed with a working space that has an opening;
- a working table disposed in said working space, movable relative to said machine body in a vertical direction;
- a three-dimensional printing module including
- a base seat that is disposed on said machine body and that is movable in a first direction above said opening,
- a sintering mechanism that is mounted to said base seat, and that is adapted to selectively sinter a powder layer fed in said working space,
- a coloring mechanism that is mounted to said base seat, that is movable in a second direction, and that is adapted to selectively color the powder layer sintered by said sintering mechanism, and
- a forming mechanism that is mounted to said base seat, and that is adapted to flatten the powder layer dealt with by said sintering and coloring mechanisms to form a solid layer;
- and
- a driving module for driving said base seat of said three-dimensional printing module to move in the first direction.
