The invention relates to a magnetorheological-material-based 3D (Three-Dimensional) printing type
rapid prototyping method and device. According to the principle of magnetorheological effect, a magnetorheological material is used as a 3D printing
raw material; and a 3D
solid model is constructed by spraying the magnetorheological material on a
workbench with a
magnetic field, rapidly solidifying and prototyping the sprayed magnetorheological material, and then depositing the treated material layer by layer. A computer is provided with three control circuits; one circuit is used for controlling the flow of a driving pump, namely the flow at a spray head; another circuit is used for controlling the 3D motion of the spray head through a
servo mechanism; and the rest circuit is used for controlling colour mixing and allocating of a colourized ink box. The magnetorheological material is solidified and prototyped by utilizing the
magnetic field generated by an
electromagnet. According to the magnetorheological effect of the magnetorheological material, a
temperature control module in the traditional melting, spraying and
rapid prototyping type 3D printing method is replaced by the
magnetic field; in addition, the device disclosed by the invention is also different from a high-pressure
electric field required by an
electrorheological fluid effect, has the advantages of being simple in structure, low in
energy consumption and cost, capable of realizing the microminiaturization and the like, and can be applicable to the fields of
process design, art and entertainment,
prosthesis model and the like.
