PRINTING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR 3D PRINTING

摘要

The invention concerns a method for 3D printing an object (6, 7), the method comprising the steps of providing a layer of a liquid silicone material (42) on a translation platform (2) of a 3D printing device (1, 10) and/or on a previously cured layer of the liquid silicone material arranged on the translation platform, the translation platform being adapted for performing a translatory movement in at least one direction, selectively curing the liquid silicone material in successive layers by moving a beam (33) of IR radiation emitted by a light source (31) across a surface (44) of the liquid silicone material (42) in a pre-defined pattern by means of a scanning device (32), and performing a translatory movement of the translation platform in the at least one direction upon finishing the curing of each of the successive layers. The invention further concerns a corresponding 3D printing device (1, 10).
