Abstract
A high-speed and high-resolution polygon mirror (PM)-based industrial stereolithography apparatus (SLA) is designed and integrated with advanced active error compensation (AEC). The designed PM-based scanner provides extremely high laser beam scanning speeds but suffers from wobble errors caused by facet tilts, compromising its print quality. The advanced AEC is proposed to reduce the wobble error, where laser beams are deflected according to a precomputed compensation trajectory using a fast-steering mirror with iterative learning control. By exploiting the repetitiveness of the compensation trajectory, the advanced AEC yields a substantial 27-fold reduction in the wobble error and achieves a printing precision of $5 \,{\mu}\mathrm{m}$ in standard deviation, enabling the industrial SLA with $22 \,{\mu}\mathrm{m}$ optical resolution in a $460 \,\mathrm{m}\mathrm{m}$ print range with a print speed of $230 \,\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}$. The achieved printing performance is demonstrated by printed samples using photosensitive resin.
期刊介绍:
IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics publishes high quality technical papers on technological advances in mechatronics. A primary purpose of the IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics is to have an archival publication which encompasses both theory and practice. Papers published in the IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics disclose significant new knowledge needed to implement intelligent mechatronics systems, from analysis and design through simulation and hardware and software implementation. The Transactions also contains a letters section dedicated to rapid publication of short correspondence items concerning new research results.
