Rapid prototyping process and assembly for the production of prototype patterns for industrial purposes employs Voxel matrix bitmap mask

摘要

A rapid prototyping assembly for the creation of a three-dimensional pattern object progressively exposes a fluid medium to a computer-controlled laser beam, converting the fluid to the desired solid shape. The computer converts a pixel image into laser commands using further integrated circuits and software and bitmap masks. Also claimed is a commensurate process.
