Embodiment 1

[0054] This embodiment discloses a 3D printing-oriented model structure optimization method based on TPMS, such as figure 1 As mentioned above, firstly, for an initially given 3D model S and a given external force F, this method can generate a TPMS pipeline inside the 3D model, so that liquid can be injected smoothly and completely fill the entire pipeline. This method optimizes the distribution of the TPMS pipeline, so that the injected material can be more intelligently distributed in the area with greater stress, so that the object can withstand a given external force.

Abstract

The invention discloses a TPMS-based model structure optimization method and device for 3D printing. The method comprises a step of performing finite element analysis on a given model to obtain a stress distribution of the model, a step of defining an adaptive TPMS periodic function according to the geometrical shape of the given model and the stress distribution, a step of initializing a pipelinewidth, generating an internal pipeline according to the TPMS periodic function and the pipeline width, a step of recalculating the stress distribution of the model and judging whether a force requirement is satisfied or not, and generating an entry point on the surface of the model to be an inlet for injecting a material into the pipeline if so, otherwise, optimizing the TPMS periodic function and the pipe width according to a new stress distribution, generating an internal pipeline according to the optimized TPMS periodic function and the pipe width, and performing the step repeatedly untilthe stress distribution satisfies the force requirements. According to a structure optimized by using the method of the invention, only printing an outer casing and the inner pipeline of the model isneeded, and the effects of save a printing material and saving a printing time are achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of object internal structure optimization oriented to 3D printing, in particular to a TPMS-based model structure optimization method and device. Background technique [0002] 3D printing is a new manufacturing technology that can convert a three-dimensional digital model stored in a computer into an actual object. In recent years, 3D printing technology has attracted extensive attention from industry and academia. In the 3D printing process, different internal filling structures can be designed for objects, such as regular filling and irregular filling with different shape units. The design and selection of the internal structure should consider the strength requirements of the printed object, and should consume as little printing material and printing time as possible under the premise of ensuring the strength of the model. At present, there are many different filling methods and support structures to achieve the ma...
