Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in the current 3D printers capable of printing colored solids, there is a common problem: it is necessary to provide a variety of molding materials of different colors, and the molding materials of each color are accommodated in the corresponding printing box, resulting in the overall structure being relatively large. Complicated and expensive to manufacture

Abstract

The present invention discloses a color three-dimensional printer and a printing method thereof. The printer comprises a frame, a moulding holder, a printing head, a feeding mechanism and an optical emitter. The printing head is movably arranged on the frame, and moulding materials contain photochromic materials of which the color will change after the photochromic materials are excited by light of a specific wave length. In the present invention, moulding materials containing photochromic materials are utilized to carry out three-dimensional printing and moulding with a color three-dimensional printer, ,an optical emitter is arranged on the body of the color three-dimensional printer to emit light of a specific wave length to moulding materials on the moulding holder during the process of printing and moulding, and color changes correspondingly when the photochromic materials in the moulding materials are excited by the light of a specific wave length, so that a required color three-dimensional entity can be obtained. In the present invention, no moulding materials in many different colors are needed and color three-dimensional printing can be realized only with a single type of moulding materials, so that the whole construction of the printer is simplified, and the manufacturing costs is lowered.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of three-dimensional printing, in particular to a color three-dimensional printer and a printing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Three-dimensional printing, also known as 3D printing, belongs to a kind of rapid prototyping technology. It is a technology based on digital model files, using molding materials, and constructing objects by stacking and accumulating layer by layer (that is, "layer-by-layer modeling method") ). 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. [0003] The process of 3D printing is firstly modeled by computer-aided design (CAD) or computer animation modeling software, and then the built 3D model is "divided" into layer-by-layer sections, and then the processing path is obtained according to the analysis section information, so as to guide...
