Abstract

A solid object manufacturing system comprises: a controlling device, a solid object manufacturing device and a projecting device. The control device generates a solid object model and then divides the model into a plurality of layer images. The control device then adjusts the height of a lifting table of the solid object manufacturing device and controls the projecting device to project one of the layer images on the lifting table synchronously, so as to guide user to form an article by using a printing module of the solid object manufacturing device. The solid object manufacturing system guides user to complete the article by projecting the layer images and adjusting the height of the lifting table.
