US 2017/0050380 A1 · PRINTING CORRECTION METHOD AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTING DEVICE

Abstract

A printing correction method and a 3D printing device are provided, and the printing correction method is adapted to the 3D printing device having a printing platform. The printing correction method is as follows. An electric field is provided to the printing platform. A detection probe is extended towards a position of the printing platform along a first axial direction to enter the electric field, where the position is defined as an initial position. The detection probe is moved from the initial position along a moving path on the printing platform, and when the detection probe is moved along the moving path, an electric field variation is detected to determine a tilt variation of the printing platform relative to the first axial direction. It is determined whether to correct the printing platform according to the tilt variation of the printing platform.
