INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, SHAPING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SHAPED OBJECT, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18621447 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, SHAPING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SHAPED OBJECT, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
The abstract describes an information processing apparatus that controls a shaping apparatus to form multiple layers, including an (n-1)-th layer and an n-th layer. The n-th layer consists of a first region overlapping with the (n-1)-th layer and a second region that does not overlap with the (n-1)-th layer.
- The apparatus obtains setting information for the shaping apparatus, including energy settings for irradiating the first and second regions at different intensities.
- The first region is irradiated with energy at a higher intensity compared to the second region during the layer formation process.
Potential Applications: - 3D printing technology - Additive manufacturing processes - Layered material fabrication
Problems Solved: - Efficient layer formation in shaping apparatus - Control of energy intensity for different regions in a layer
Benefits: - Improved layer quality in additive manufacturing - Enhanced control over layer properties - Increased efficiency in material fabrication processes
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Layer Formation Control Technology for Additive Manufacturing This technology can be utilized in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical devices for producing complex and high-quality components with precise layer control.
Questions about Layer Formation Control Technology: 1. How does the apparatus differentiate between the first and second regions during layer formation? The apparatus uses setting information to adjust the energy intensity for irradiating different regions in the layer. 2. What are the advantages of controlling energy intensity in layer formation processes? Controlling energy intensity allows for precise control over the properties of each layer, resulting in improved quality and efficiency in material fabrication.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus includes an information processing portion configured to obtain setting information set for a shaping apparatus for causing the shaping apparatus to form a plurality of layers. The plurality of layers include an (n−1)-th layer, and an n-th layer formed subsequently to the (n−1)-th layer. The n-th layer includes a first region overlapping with the (n−1)-th layer in a lamination direction, and a second region that is continuous with the first region and that does not overlap with the (n−1)-th layer in the lamination direction. The setting information includes information for setting an energy radiated by an irradiation portion of the shaping apparatus in formation of the first region to first intensity, and information for setting the energy radiated by the irradiation portion in formation of the second region to second intensity lower than the first intensity.
