[0043] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.
[0044] In order to further understand the content, features and effects of the invention of this application, the following embodiments are given as examples and described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the application of the 3D printing technology of the present invention in the production of the shell of the decorative wind lamp adopts a 3D printing device with fused deposition 3D printing technology to produce the shell of the decorative wind lamp. In this embodiment, the fused deposition 3D printing technology is adopted, and the printed product does not need to be molded, which greatly reduces the molding cost and can meet the manufacturing requirements of model parts with complex curved surfaces.
[0046] Specifically, a bottle assembly for decoration is provided in the shell of the decorative wind lamp, and the bottle assembly includes a bottle, and a liquid or solid is contained in the bottle. The liquid or solid is one or a combination of two or more of water, oil, resin, soluble pigment, and solid pigment. In this embodiment, the liquid contained in the bottle is water, and by filling the bottle with water, the decorative wind lamp is more ornamental. Of course, the liquid contained in the bottle is not limited to this, and can also be other liquids that can achieve the same effect.
[0047] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the shell of the decorative wind lamp includes a base and an outer frame structure, and the outer frame structure and the base are fixedly connected or integrally formed. The outer frame structure includes a top frame and a peripheral frame, and the top frame and the peripheral frame are fixedly connected or integrally formed. In this embodiment, the outer frame structure and the base structure are integrally formed, and the top frame and the peripheral frame are integrally formed. Through the above structural design, the shell of the decorative wind lamp is more stable. Of course, the shell of the decorative wind lamp is not limited to this structure, and can also be other structural designs that can achieve the same effect.
[0048] Specifically, the 3D printing device used in the fused deposition 3D printing technology is a TuoZhu 3D printer or a Stratasys 3D printer.

[0051] S2: File conversion, converting the product three-dimensional model in step S1 into a file format suitable for reading and printing by a 3D printing device through file format conversion; after the file format conversion is completed, slicing is performed, and the three-dimensional model is converted into a layered model that can be processed by the device using slicing software; according to the converted layered model, the printing path is set, and the print head moves along the set printing path
[0052] S3: Print the product. The file of the three-dimensional model of the product converted in step S2 is printed out through a 3D printing device with a fused deposition method, and finally the three-dimensional model of the product in step S1 is printed. The print head moves along the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions. The temperature of the hot-melt material is always slightly higher than the curing temperature, and the temperature of the molding part is slightly lower than the curing temperature. This ensures that the hot-melt material is fused with the previous layer after it is ejected from the nozzle. After one layer is deposited, the workbench drops the thickness of one layer by a predetermined increment, and then continues the melt-blowing deposition until the entire solid modeling is completed.
