Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of material preparation, and in particular to a device and method for photothermal assisted in-situ curing ink direct writing additive manufacturing of an absorber. Background Art

[0002] Structural absorbing materials are usually prepared through special composite structure design and construction, with multi-layer, porous or complex structures, which are used to absorb and scatter electromagnetic waves. Combining processes and materials to study structural absorbing materials can achieve higher absorbing performance and broadband characteristics. The designed structural absorbing materials have both load-bearing and absorbing properties, and have more flexible control methods than absorbing coatings. Traditional mold methods, cutting methods and other methods are often used to prepare traditional structural absorbers, but these methods cannot prepare absorbers with complex structures.

[0003] Additive manufacturing technology has significant advantages when it is necessary to prepare structural absorbers with high precision requirements. Additive manufacturing methods can be divided into fused deposition modeling, selective laser sintering, ink direct writing, photocuring molding, etc. according to the principle. Among them, ink direct writing (DIW) 3D printing is often used in the manufacture of structural absorbers. Ink direct writing 3D printing is an additive manufacturing technology. Compared with other 3D printing methods, ink direct writing has a wide range of printing materials. Different types of inks such as polymer materials, ceramics, metals and biomaterials can be used, which can effectively solve the limitations of traditional manufacturing processes on material types. Ink direct writing technology has high flexibility in the shape and internal structure of printed parts, and can produce parts with complex structures and internal cavities.

[0004] Traditional ink direct writing printing equipment has high requirements for the rheological properties of printing materials. The material needs to have certain rheological properties to maintain appropriate fluidity and plasticity during the printing process. The material needs to show a lower viscosity under the applied shear force so that it can flow and extrude smoothly after the print head applies shear force to ensure that the required shape can be maintained during the printing process. To successfully complete ink direct writing 3D printing, the material is also required to have a certain stability, that is, there is no shear instability, dripping or uneven extrusion during the printing process.

[0005] After ink direct writing printing, the semi-solid material needs to be cured, and the curing conditions usually include photocuring and chemical curing. For photocuring, the ink direct writing printing material is required to be sensitive to ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength. Photosensitive substances, such as photoinitiators or photosensitive monomers, need to be added to the printing material to undergo a cross-linking reaction under ultraviolet light to achieve material curing. For chemical curing, if a chemical curing method is used, the printing material needs to have a certain chemical reactivity, and curing can be achieved by adding a cross-linking agent, a catalyst or a curing agent. This type of curing method usually requires the control of appropriate environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and oxygen, and in the additive manufacturing process of large-size parts, collapse is prone to occur during the printing process.

[0006] Chinese patent CN113666764B discloses a method for ink direct writing of chopped carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide ceramic composite materials. First, silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic powder, chopped carbon fiber (Csf), carbon source, deionized water, dispersant, and binder are mixed and ball-milled to obtain a uniformly dispersed Csf / SiC composite slurry, and then an ink direct writing molding device is used to print it into a Csf / SiC composite green body, and then a Csf / SiC secondary green body is obtained through carbonization treatment, and then it is densified through liquid phase siliconization to finally obtain a Csf / SiC composite material.

[0007] Chinese patent CN121690877A discloses a method and technology of ink direct writing 3D printing based on near-infrared light polymerization. The direct writing nozzle moves or remains stationary in three-dimensional space. The ink is squeezed out from the direct writing nozzle and is irradiated with near-infrared light. After curing, the three-dimensional object is formed, and the curing time t does not exceed the diameter d of the near-infrared light. l and ink extrusion speed v i Ratio, that is, t≤d l / vi. As near-infrared light has good medium penetration, it can penetrate the structure during molding to promote a high degree of solidification both inside and outside, thus enabling 3D printing of cross-scale structures.

[0008] The above patents either fail to achieve in-situ real-time curing, or use lasers with small illumination areas, which do not allow sufficient time to completely cure the slurry with high absorbance that requires a long curing time. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an in-situ curing ink direct writing 3D printing method suitable for slurries with high absorbance. Summary of the invention
