Development and application of optical stereolithography for the big size model-introducing Solid Creation System of Sony

A description is given of the Solid Creation System (SCS), which allows for the creation of 3-D model directly from CAD (computer-aided design) data in a short time, using a lithographic technique. The SCS consists of a laser scanning device, a UV resin box, and a system controller. The authors introduce the hardware and software technologies of the SCS and present the possibilities of applications for creating models using SCS.<
