Problems solved by technology

[0003] So far, the existing 3D printing technology can only produce non-functional structural supports due to the use of materials such as plastics or polymers. The method still faces great difficulties in the simultaneous production of mechanical and electronic components. The existing methods generally have shortcomings such as long production time and limited applicable objects.
In particular, when makin

Abstract

The invention provides a low-melting-point metal multi-dimensional structure liquid phase printing system. The low-melting-point metal multi-dimensional structure liquid phase printing system comprises an injection pump array, an injection needle array, a liquid metal tank, a thermostat, a thermostatic bath and a control unit. The injection pump array includes m*n of injection pumps and an inlet of every injection pump is connection with the liquid metal tank. Injection needles are perpendicular to the thermostatic bath and liquid inlets of the injection needles are connected to outlet ends of the injection pumps respectively. The control unit is connected to the injection pump array. A low-melting-point metal multi-dimensional structure liquid phase printing method uses the smart control mechanism of fluid for applying effective buffer, crushing and buoyancy actions to liquid metal injection droplets, and the liquid cooling treatment more efficient than a traditional gas cooling mode can be provided for enabling liquid metal injected into a liquid phase environment to be quickly solidified due to the large heat capacity, so that short-time forming of a multi-dimensional structure is achieved, and meanwhile the oxidation not easy to avoid in a traditional method is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of printing, and in particular relates to a multi-dimensional structure liquid phase printing method and a system thereof. Background technique [0002] 3D printing technology is a kind of rapid prototyping method and a form of realization of additive manufacturing. It has developed particularly rapidly in the past one or two years. The conventional 3D printing method is to use the computer to pre-design the 3D model of the product, segment and discretize the model through software, decompose the printing process, and then use laser beams, hot-melt nozzles, etc. to process metal, plastic, ceramics and other materials Carry out layer-by-layer stacking and bonding, and finally superpose and form, so as to manufacture the designed end product. So far, most of this kind of processing is done in the air, with the help of gas cooling to naturally form structural parts, or to cool high-temperature liquid structures through ...
