Space complex environment oriented multi-degree of freedom 3D printer and printing method

Abstract

The invention provides a space complex environment oriented multi-degree of freedom 3D printer and a printing method. The 3D printer comprises a multi-degree of freedom mechanical arm, wherein the multi-degree of freedom mechanical arm is arranged in a base surface; an emergency storage battery and a central processor are arranged in the multi-degree of freedom mechanical arm; a high energy-storage medium heat collector is connected outside the multi-degree of freedom mechanical arm; the multi-degree of freedom mechanical arm is connected with a space 3D printing head; the high energy-storage medium heat collector is connected with the space 3D printing head by a conduit; a curved surface scanning and identifying device is attached outside the space 3D printing head, and is connected with a central processor; the space 3D printing head ensures the enablement of space 3D print; by utilizing the high energy-storage medium heat collector, a micro-channel and the conduit to collect, utilize and control energy; by utilizing the multi-degree of freedom mechanical arm and the curved surface scanning and identifying device to perform 3D print on the base surface with optional angle and optional motion curve, the flexibility of space 3D print is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of 3D printing in space, in particular to a multi-degree-of-freedom 3D printer and a printing method for complex space environments. Background technique [0002] With the development of aerospace technology, human beings' scientific and technological dreams of exploring far space, building space stations, building alien bases and even planetary immigration are getting closer and closer to reality. However, due to the high cost of spacecraft transporting goods up to outer space and the impossibility of transporting them deep into space, the realization of these space exploration dreams depends to a large extent on the development of space manufacturing technology. How to realize on-orbit manufacturing and on-orbit repair in a complex space environment, so as to obtain the tools and equipment needed for space exploration, and to deal with emergencies, is the key to the success or failure of space exploration....
