A method for three-dimensional printing for forming a three-dimensional structure on a moving platform is provided. The three-dimensional structure includes a shell portion and a foamy filling portion. The method includes the following: a digital shell model of the three-dimensional structure is built. Next, the digital shell model is sliced into a plurality of cross-section information. Next, a corresponding liquid forming material is cured on the moving platform according to the cross-section information to form a plurality of shell layers. Next, foaming process is performed on the liquid forming material to form a foamy forming material. Next, the foamy forming material located within the corresponding shell layers is cured to form a plurality of foamy filling layers. Afterward, the shell layers and the foamy filling layers are alternately formed on the moving platform and stacked to form the three-dimensional structure. A three-dimensional printing apparatus adopting the method is also provided.

The disclosure provides a printing layer trimming method and an electronic device using the same. The printing layer trimming method is suitable for the electronic device and includes steps as follows. An original layer is converted into a first printing layer. At least one data region of the first printing layer is identified to identify at least one blank region of the first printing layer. Then, the blank region of the first printing layer is trimmed off The trimmed first printing layer is further converted into a print head signal data and provided to a printing device to print a corresponding three-dimensional structure. The disclosure also provides another printing layer trimming method and an electronic device using the same for trimming a second printing layer generated according to a print head signal data and providing the second printing layer to a printing device to print a corresponding three-dimensional structure.

A method for calibrating light is adapted to a 3D object generating apparatus including a housing, an optical-transparent component, and a laser light generator. The housing has an accommodating space and an opening communicating with the accommodating space. The optical transparent component is arranged on the opening, and the laser light generator is arranged within the accommodating space. The method includes the following steps: providing a first photodetector and a controller, the controller is electrically connected to the first photodetector and the laser light generator; using the controller to drive the laser light generator to generate the light and perform a scanning procedure; and stopping the scanning procedure when the first photodetector detects the light generated by the laser light generator, and then performing a 3D object generating procedure in the working region by moving the laser light generator with a preset distance.

Method for calibrating a light of a three-dimensional object generating apparatus

A 3D object generating apparatus includes an optical-transparent, a laser light generating module, and a controller. The laser light generating module includes a light emitter for outputting a spot beam, a polygon mirror, a flat-field convergent lens, and a flat-field optical sensor. The polygon mirror directs the spot beam into a linear beam. The flat-field convergent lens is positioned between the laser light generating module and the optical-transparent component, and a flat-field scanning route is formed after the linear beam passed through the flat-field convergence lens. The flat-field optical sensor is positioned on the flat-field scanning route senses an optical power of the linear beam and generates a sensed signal. The controller is electrically connected to the laser light generating module and the flat-field optical sensor, and receives the sensed signal and calibrates the optical power of the spot beam based on the sensed signal.
