Abstract
Disclosed is a control method for stereolithography structure, including the steps of: providing a stereolithography structure including a main circuit system, an interface system, and a USB transmission interface. The main circuit system controls the interface system and the interface system includes a printing driving platform for allowing an user to operate the stereolithography structure; providing a computer system including a data transmission platform for generating printing data by performing a slicing operation according to operational instructions and converting slicing process data of a 3-D object into 2-D slicing printing format image data; and transmitting and receiving the 2-D slicing printing format image data through the USB transmission interface, and deciphering data and re-formatting data, in order to finish pre-planning procedure of driving operation, thereby transmitting data to the printing driving platform to drive the printing driving platform to finish object forming operation by ink spraying operations.
