Abstract
A 3D printing method implemented by swaths is disclosed. When printing swaths of a printing layer, a 3D printer first obtains a default swath-width, and adjusts the default swath-width based on a shift value, then controls a nozzle to print the swaths according to the adjusted swath-width. When printing a final swath of the same printing layer, the 3D printer compensates a remained swath-width of the final swath according to the adjusted shift value(s) of previous printed swath(s), and controls the nozzle to print the final swath according to the compensated remained swath-width. When printing different printing layers, the 3D printer uses different shift values to adjust the swath-width of each printing layer. Because swaths of different printing layers have different widths, the positions of seams between each two swaths of each printing layer are staggered, and thus the strength of printed 3D models is enhanced.

Abstract
A stereo lithography apparatus includes a base, a lifting rail, a slider, a forming pedestal, a nut assembly and a screw rod. The lifting rail is arranged upright on the base. The slider is arranged on the lifting rail and allowed to move along the lifting rail. A position hole and at least an adjusting groove are defined on the forming pedestal. The nut assembly is connected with the slider by multiple screw bolts, one of the screw bolts is inserted through the position hole and connected with the slider, each of the other screw bolts is inserted through corresponding adjusting groove and connected with the slider. The screw rod is arranged upright on the base and engaged with the nut assembly. Thereby, the nut assembly would not be rotated to stick the screw rod while the forming pedestal is rotated.

Abstract
An alignment method adopted by a 3D printer having a 3D nozzle for jetting material and a 2D pen-module for jetting colored ink is disclosed. The 3D printer first controls the 3D nozzle to print an alignment template on a printing platform, wherein the alignment template comprises multiple alignment blocks respectively and separately printed along an axis, and each alignment block respectively deviates from each center-line according to an accumulated offset. Next, the 3D printer controls the 2D pen-module to print an ink matrix on the alignment template, wherein the ink matrix comprises multiple ink blocks respectively and separately printed along the same axis, and each ink block is exactly corresponding to each center-line respectively. The 3D printer uses covering status of each alignment block and each ink block to determine a deviation between the 3D nozzle and the 2D pen-module, so as to perform an alignment action thereupon.
