3D printing method and 3D printer for embedded electronic products

Abstract

The invention discloses a 3D printing method for an embedded electronic product and a 3D printer. After each layer of structure material is printed, a layer of release material is arranged around a support reserved position in a jet printing manner, support printing is conducted, and when the set of structure layers are printed, supports of reserved holes and grooves are removed, an electronic component is embedded, printing of the set of electric conduction layer structure, jet printing of electric conduction circuits and jet printing of dielectric materials between the electric conduction circuits are sequentially conducted, the process is repeatedly conducted till the last set of electric conduction layer structure is printed, and the electronic product is packaged through printing structure materials. The release material is introduced between the structure material and a support material, the support material is easy to remove, on one hand, removal of the supports through an ultrasonic alkaline solution is avoided (a traditional support removing technology is not allowed to be adopted in the embedded electronic product), and on the other hand, influences on a printed electric conduction circuit from support removal are avoided. The problem about support removal in the embedded electronic product manufacturing process is effectively solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of additive manufacturing and electronic products, and in particular relates to a 3D printing method and a 3D printer for embedded electronic products. Background technique [0002] Embedded electronic products (functional structural electronics) are a new type of electronic products that have emerged with the development of additive manufacturing technology in recent years. While printing the object structure, sensors, controllers, drivers, antennas, batteries and other electronic components At the same time, it is embedded into the printed structure, and some simple circuits and connecting circuits are directly printed, so as to truly realize the integrated manufacturing of functional structural electronic products, and the integrated manufacturing of materials-structure-device. Compared with traditional electronic products, embedded electronic products have some unique advantages and notable features; (1)...
