Problems solved by technology

[0005] Therefore, the use of single-use products printed by 3D printers is popularized, and thus, environmental pollution caused by an increase in waste related to objects that are easily printed by 3D printers increases
[0006] In addition, food formed from edible materials by 3D printers can be produced, and thus, people's health may be threatened

Embodiment Construction

[0047] Referring now to the accompanying drawings, a description will be given in detail of the exemplary embodiments. For brief description with reference to the drawings, the same or equivalent components will be provided with the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof will not be repeated.

[0048] The 3D printers described in this disclosure are not limited to methods for producing objects. For example, a method for printing a 3D object by using layer-by-layer jetting of a liquid photocurable or thermoset material and then ultraviolet (UV) curing of the liquid photocure or thermoset material, a method for printing a thermoplastic by heating and melting it into a semi-liquid state and Then a method of extruding the thermoplastic to form a 3D object, a method for forming a 3D object by spraying and solidifying material in the form of thin lines or powder, etc. are driven to be applied to the 3D printer of the present disclosure.

Abstract

Disclosed is a control device for a 3D printer, the 3D printer including a supply unit configured to supply a forming material and a degradable agent, and a printing unit configured to print a 3D object. The control device includes a display unit, a controller and a communication unit. The display unit is configured to output screen information enabling a user to set a use period of the 3D object. The controller is configured to determine an amount of the degradable agent to be added to the 3D object based on the set use period and configured to generate a control signal for controlling the 3D printer, the control signal being indicative of the determined amount of the degradable agent. The communication unit is configured to transmit the control signal to the 3D printer.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a control device of a 3D printer for outputting digitized three-dimensional (3D) products. Background technique [0002] Typically, 3D printers use printing techniques that produce 3D objects by stacking successive layers of material. The 3D printer can quickly generate a 3D object based on 2D information expected by a user, and thus is applied to the generation of prototype samples and the like. [0003] The technology of the 3D printer includes a molding process to form a design drawing of a 3D object, a printing process to actually produce the object by stacking materials, and a processing process to harden or surface-treat the printed object. A method of implementing a 3D printer can generally be classified into a method of stacking materials by irradiating ultraviolet (UV) laser light to a liquid material film and curing the liquid material film, and stacking by dropping material ink using an inkjet head and curi...
