Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a flexible material three-dimensional forming system and method. Background technique [0002] 3D printing (3D printing, three-dimensional prototyping) is a kind of three-dimensional rapid prototyping technology. It is based on digital model files, using powdered metal or plastic and other bondable materials to construct objects by layer-by-layer printing. Technology. [0003] 3D printing is usually achieved using digital technology material printers. In the past, it was often used to make models in the fields of mold manufacturing and industrial design, and is now gradually being used in the direct manufacture of some products. There are already parts printed using this technology. The technology has applications in jewelry, footwear, industrial design, architecture, engineering and construction (AEC), automotive, aerospace, dental and medical industries, education, geographic information systems, civil engineering, firearms...
