Abstract
A three-dimensional printing method for forming a three-dimensional object on a base is provided. The method comprises providing a model library comprising at least one supporting member, selecting the at least one supporting member from the model library and disposing the at least one supporting member onto the base. The three-dimensional object is printed over the base and the at the least supporting member, and the three-dimensional object has an overhanging portion relative to the base and the at least one supporting member is filled between the overhanging portion and the base.
Claims11
A three-dimensional printing method for forming a three-dimensional object on a base, and the three-dimensional printing method comprising:
- providing a model library and the model library comprises at least one supporting member;
- developing an iconic model of the three-dimensional object, wherein the three-dimensional object has at least one overhanging portion relative to the base;
- calculating a required supporting space of the overhanging portion of the iconic model relative to the base;
- searching for a supporting member from the at least one supporting member in the model library according to a result of calculating the required supporting space;
- selecting the at least one supporting member and disposing the at least one supporting member onto the base;
- and
- printing the three-dimensional object over the base and the at least one supporting member, wherein the at least one supporting member is filled between the at least one overhanging portion and the base.
