Title: Tetsuo Hoki: Innovator in Stereolithography and Inspection Technologies
Introduction
Tetsuo Hoki is a prominent inventor based in Kyoto, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the fields of stereolithography and printed substrate inspection. With a total of 14 patents to his name, Hoki's work has advanced the technology used in three-dimensional object manufacturing and defect detection.
Latest Patents
Hoki's latest patents include a "Stereolithography apparatus and method for manufacturing three-dimensional object." This invention features a projector that is movable in a second direction orthogonal to a first direction. The projector is designed to switch ON-OFF states of exposure light as it moves, allowing for precise exposure of a photo-curable material in a predetermined drawing area. This method ensures that the joint portions of adjacent strip regions differ in position between layers, enhancing the quality of the final three-dimensional object.
Another notable patent is the "Pattern defect detection apparatus." This invention improves the accuracy of printed substrate inspections by dividing an inspection objective image into smaller areas. It compares these areas with reference images from a standard pattern image, effectively eliminating the effects of positional deviations. The design ensures that any deviation does not manifest as distortion within the divided areas, leading to more reliable inspection results.
