The invention relates to the field of additive manufacturing
consumables, and discloses a
polyamide 6 modified material for additive manufacturing, and a preparation method thereof. The
polyamide 6 modified material comprises, by
mass, 62-78% of
polyamide 6 (PA6), 8-15% of glass fibers, 8-20% of a toughener, 5-10% of a compatibilizer, 0.3-2% of an
antioxidant and 0.2-1% of a
fiber glass
exposure inhibitor. The preparation method has a simple process, and has the following remarkable modification effects: 1, the glass fibers and the toughener are added, so the
mechanical strength and the
toughness of the prepared polyamide 6 modified material are obviously improved, and the strengthening and
toughening effects are remarkable; 2, the preferable
glass fiber exposure inhibitor is added, so thefree fluidity of the material is improved, and the
processing performances are improved, thereby the surface glossiness of the material is high; 3, the material has a lower
shrinkage rate and a higher
thermal deformation temperature than traditional nylon materials; and 4, printing verifies that silks are smoothly produced from nozzles during 3D printing, and the material has the advantages of low warping, high precision and good appearance quality, and is very suitable for producing
consumables for FDM additive manufacturing.
