Numerically-controlled machine tool integrated 3D printer

Abstract

The invention relates to a numerically-controlled machine tool integrated 3D printer. The numerically-controlled machine tool integrated 3D printer comprises an X-Y working platform, nozzles, a supporting table, a movable supporting frame, a weight metering device, a pressure sensor and a photoelectric sensing device. According to the numerically-controlled machine tool integrated 3D printer, the weight of residual materials can be detected through the pressure sensor, and the photoelectric sensing device can be used for giving a warning when the materials are exhausted; the weight metering device is used for detecting the amount of consumable materials in a print cartridge in real time and transmitting the detected information to a control center of the numerically-controlled machine tool integrated 3D printer; and when the amount of the consumable materials in the printing cartridge is small, the numerically-controlled machine tool integrated 3D printer can give an early warning of replacing the print cartridge, so that the phenomenon that the next printing task cannot be completed and is forced to be interrupted is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of 3D printing, and in particular relates to a 3D printer for a numerically controlled machine tool. Background technique [0002] 3D printing, a type of rapid prototyping technology, is a technology based on digital model files and using bondable materials such as powdered metal or plastic to construct objects by layer-by-layer printing. The technology has applications in jewelry, footwear, industrial design, architecture, engineering and construction, CNC machine tools, aerospace, dental and medical industries, education, geographic information systems, civil engineering, firearms, and other fields. [0003] And a CNC machine tool 3D printer can use a variety of materials for printing. For example, a CNC machine tool 3D printer using ABS materials can also use some materials similar to ABS such as nylon for printing. Moreover, when the CNC machine tool 3D printer is used for printing, materials of various colors ca...
