Compact apparatus for producing a three-dimensional object by solidifying a photo-hardening material

摘要

A device for producing a three-dimensional object by solidifying a photocuring material (2), comprising a radiation source unit (3) comprising a radiation source for emitting light (8), a receiving device (4) comprising a receiving surface (5) for receiving the photohardening material ( 2) in liquid form, a relative to the receiving device (4) movable support plate (7) for receiving the cured material, and a deflecting device (9a) for deflecting the light source from the radiation source (3) on the support plate (7) is characterized in that the deflection device has at least one totally reflecting optical element, wherein the light emerging from the radiation source unit is totally totally reflected by the at least one optical element at least twice. As a result, a compact embodiment of the device can be achieved.
