SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A TANGIBLE OBJECT

摘要

A system for producing a tangible object. The system has a space which ca n be filled with a fluid. A reference platform at least partially defines at least one side of the space. The system further has a phase-transformer whi ch can form a layer of the object by selectively transforming the fluid into a solid in a predetermined area of the space. An actuator can separate the layer from the reference platform by moving the layer relative to the refere nce platform or vice versa. The system has a controller connected with an ac tuator control output to the actuator and/or with a transformer control outp ut to the phase transformer. The controller can control the production of th e object based on a determined value of the force exerted on the reference p latform or the solid or of a parameter related to the force.
