On the other hand, in the case of a DLP type 3D printer, the size of the output result must exactly match the design size on the drawing.
However, if correction is not performed due to an assembly error or an error of an optical system generated during the process of assembling a DLP type 3D printer, the output result may be formed to be larger or smaller than the design size, and the output result may be distorted .
In order to improve the output size of the DLP optical module, the arrangement of the optical modules is very important when the two are arranged in parallel. At this time, the two screens must not overlap each other, and the distance between the two screens must not be reduced. Due to the error of the optical system, a difference in magnification occurs, and the size of the output unit should not be changed for each optical module for the same design size. That is, there is a problem that when the output result is exceeded due to the error of the optical system and does not match the actual size, and when the output result is inclined, the output result may not be vertical and horizontal.
The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a photosensor in the upper and lower portions of one corner of a lower projection surface of a photocurable resin reservoir on which light irradiated from a DLP projector is projected, And an object of the present invention is to provide a method of automatically correcting the size and layout of an image screen projected from a DLP type 3D printer capable of overcoming projection and tilting and overlapping of projected images of two DLP projectors.

The tilt correction mode of the projection pattern of the present invention includes the steps of outputting the rightmost vertical line in the vertical direction at the end of the image output pattern; Moving the vertical line to the left by one pixel if light is not detected by the upper photo sensor and storing the upper position value of the vertical line in the storage space Nt when light is sensed; Moving the vertical line by one pixel to the left if light is not detected by the lower photo sensor and storing the lower position value of the vertical line in the storage space Nb if light is sensed; And determining the degree of inclination of the output screen of the DLP projector by the number of pixels (Nt-Nb) and correcting the tilted projection pattern to coincide with the position of the normally output screen.
The size correction mode of the projection pattern of the present invention may include: projecting one line horizontally at an upper end of an output screen projected on a lower projection surface of a storage tank; Vertically moving the horizontal line downward until it is photo sensed by the upper photo sensor; And a step of calculating the number of pixels exceeding the actual projection amount by an amount corresponding to the number of vertically shifted pixels when the light is sensed by the upper photo sensor, .
The size correction mode of the projection pattern of the present invention may include: projecting one line horizontally at a lower end of an output screen projected on a lower projection surface of a storage tank; Vertically moving the horizontal line upwards until the lower photo sensor detects light; And when the light is sensed by the lower photo sensor, it is determined that the actual projection is projected in the downward direction by the number of vertically moved pixels, and the number of pixels exceeded is calculated and reduced to fit the normal projection area. And further comprising:
The photo sensor of the present invention is arranged in the direction toward the DLP projector and is arranged inwardly and horizontally at 5% in the maximum screen size of the output screen of the DLP project.

For example, when the projector is a DLP projector of ultraviolet light source, the resolution is 1920 * 1080, the size of the pixel is 10um, and the mechanical assembly error of the 3D printer causes the projection surface to tilt in the reverse triangle direction .

6. As a result of the above processing, a physically inclined projection screen is constituted as a projection screen which is inclined reversely in the screen processing, so that the correction is performed and the inclination is canceled, so that a non-inclined projection can be obtained.

1. Outputs one horizontal line type light having a thickness of 10um and a length of 108mm which is 1080 pixels horizontally on the upper part of the image output unit.
2. Vertically move the horizontal line downward by n times in 1 pixel unit until the upper photosensor (15) detects light. In this case, an image processing circuit (not shown) computes the number of pixels exceeding that of the actual projection by the number of shifted n pixels in the upward direction, , The pixel size (10um) = 100um is over projected at 10x Pixels, and the projected area is reduced by -100um in the image processing, so that it is corrected to the size of the ortho projected screen.
