Two primary configurations for this process are laser based vector by vector scanning (0D) and projection based layer by layer exposing (2D). With the highly focused fine laser, the scanning based process can accomplish very high surface finishing and precision, however, due to the serial nature of scanning, this process suffers from the problem of slow speed. In contrast with laser scanning, projection based process can form the whole layer in one exposure, which leads to higher fabrication efficiency. However, due to the limited resolution of projection device and various optical defects, the surface quality will be significantly deteriorated for large area fabrication. To solve this problem, a novel hybrid process by integrating vector scanning and mask projection has been presented. In this process, laser is focused into a fine spot and used to scan the boundary of the layer, whereas the projector is focused onto a large platform surface and used to form the interior area of the layer. An efficient slicing method is proposed for extracting the contour for laser scanning. A slice to image conversion algorithm is also developed to convert the offset contour to grayscale image for mask projection. Experimental results have verified that the proposed hybrid process can significantly improve the fabrication speed without losing the surface quality.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1115\/1.4028848","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,17]],"date-time":"2014-10-17T13:31:13Z","timestamp":1413552673000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1115\/crossmarkpolicy-asme","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["A Novel Low-Cost Stereolithography Process Based on Vector Scanning and Mask Projection for High-Accuracy, High-Speed, High-Throughput, and Large-Area Fabrication"],"prefix":"10.1115","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Chi","family":"Zhou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, Buffalo, NY 14260 e-mail:"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hang","family":"Ye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, Buffalo, NY 14260"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Feng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, Buffalo, NY 14260"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"33","reference":[{"key":"2019100600581302800_B1","volume-title":"Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing State of the Industry","year":"2013"},{"key":"2019100600581302800_B2","volume-title":"Additive Manufacturing Technologies","year":"2010"},{"key":"2019100600581302800_B3","article-title":"NSF Workshop\u2014Roadmap for Additive Manufacturing: Identifying the Future of Freeform Processing"},{"key":"2019100600581302800_B4"},{"issue":"9\u201312","key":"2019100600581302800_B5","first-page":"1003","article-title":"Accelerating Fabrication Speed in Two-Laser Beam Stereolithography System Using Adaptive Crosshatch Technique","volume":"50","year":"2010","journal-title":"Int.
