摘要
The system control of a micro-stereolithographic fabrication system is detailed, with specific attention given to the opto-electronic and electro-mechanical interfaces. The application of the National Instrument LabVEIW(C) environment is demonstrated to provide a good basis for rapid application development of the necessary control structures. In particular, this provides the basis for a highly flexible control system, typical activities of which include: low-level interface formats; icon-based systems design; and support for good human-computer interfacing. The resulting system has the capability to provide two orders of magnitude improvement above that currently available. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
