Apparatus for printing of three-dimensional objects
An apparatus to help control the quality of printed three-dimensional objects is provided. The apparatus may include a printing head to print a three-dimensional object and a printing tray having defined surface characteristics serving to control adherence of the object being printed to the printing tray and/or prevent deformations in the printed object.
1. An apparatus for three-dimensional printing comprising:
a printing head to print a three-dimensional object, the object including modeling material; and
a printing tray having predetermined surface characteristics, said characteristics serving to control adherence of the object being printed to the printing tray and/or prevent deformations in the printed object,
wherein said tray has an anodized coating with high adhesion characteristics with respect to the modeling material of the object and said anodized coating includes pores containing a material acting to adhere to said object.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the surface characteristics are mechanical or chemical.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said printing tray having a thermal coefficient similar to that of the object being printed.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said printing tray includes organic material.
5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein said organic material has low thermal conductivity.
6. An apparatus for three-dimensional printing comprising:
a printing head to print a three-dimensional object, the object including modeling material; and
a printing tray having predetermined surface characteristics, said characteristics serving to control adherence of the object being printed to the printing tray and/or prevent deformations in the printed object,
wherein said tray has an anodized coating with high adhesion characteristics with respect to the modeling material of the object and said anodized coating includes pores containing modeling material.
7. An apparatus for three-dimensional printing comprising:
a printing head to print a three-dimensional object, the object including modeling material; and
a printing tray having predetermined surface characteristics, said characteristics serving to control adherence of the object being printed to the printing tray and/or prevent deformations in the printed object,
wherein said tray has an anodized coating with high adhesion characteristics with respect to the modeling material of the object and said anodized coating includes pores containing water acting to adhere to said object.
