Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of 3D printing, and more specifically to a 3D printing method and a printing method. Background Technology
[0002] 3D printing photopolymerization methods can be divided into two types based on the position of the light source: top projection and bottom projection. In the bottom projection method, the light source is located at the bottom, and the forming surface is located in the middle part between the resin tank release film and the forming platform. After single-layer exposure and curing, layers are stacked by continuously pulling up or peeling down the forming platform. During this process, in addition to the exposure time, the intermediate movement process and waiting time have the greatest impact on the printing efficiency. The movement displacement, speed and deformation of the release film in the peeling method will all affect the printing efficiency.
[0003] In related technologies, a linkage mechanism can be added to the bottom resin tank for peeling, and the forming platform can be moved up and down with small displacements for printing, separating the forming surface and the release film from the shearing direction, thereby reducing the peeling force. However, due to wear after prolonged movement, the resin tank is difficult to return to its original position, which can easily lead to printing failures, affecting stability and reducing efficiency. In other related technologies, continuous high-speed printing can be achieved through continuous printing, but continuous printing places high demands on the resin's filling performance, requiring high resin flowability for timely replenishment to the printing area. For high-viscosity, high-performance resins, continuous printing has disadvantages. Due to the high viscosity and poor flowability of the resin, untimely replenishment can lead to incomplete honeycomb filling even with continuous high-speed printing, affecting the quality of the printed product.

[0035] Fifthly, at least one embodiment of this disclosure provides a computer program product, including computer instructions for causing a computer to execute the 3D printing method described in the first aspect or any corresponding embodiment.
[0036] The technical solution provided by this invention has the following advantages:
[0037] 1. The 3D printing method provided by this invention, by performing checkerboard processing on the current printing layer, gives the current printing layer a skeleton part and a void part. During specific filling, the skeleton part is filled while avoiding filling the void part. For adjacent printing layers, the skeleton part and void part of the previous current printing layer are staggered with the skeleton part and void part of the next current printing layer along the displacement direction of the forming platform. This arrangement can reduce the contact area between the polymer layer formed after the current printing layer is cured and the release film, so that the exposure adhesion force of the polymer layer relative to the entire layer of the release film will be greatly reduced, thereby helping to reduce the peel displacement between the release film and the polymer layer and accelerate the peeling speed. By reducing the peeling force, it can be applied to printing operations of fluid media with different viscosities, meet the needs of high-speed printing, and has good printing continuity and stability, which can improve printing efficiency.
[0038] 2. The 3D printing method provided by the present invention adds a contour envelope to the current printing layer and fills the contour envelope with a fluid medium, thereby adding contour envelope constraints to the polymer layer. This can ensure the surface quality of the printed product while ensuring printing efficiency, and can avoid the influence of vertical lines formed on the polymer layer after the checkerboard treatment of the current printing layer has been filled and solidified.
[0039] 3. The 3D printing method provided by this invention adds a mechanical sensor to the molding platform. Based on the peeling force data fed back by the mechanical sensor, it can determine in real time whether the polymer layer and the release film are completely separated. Based on the change of peeling force, it actively adjusts the peeling speed and displacement, thereby reducing unnecessary displacement and waiting time of the molding platform and improving printing efficiency.
[0040] 4. The 3D printing method provided by the present invention uses a release film with a thickness of 0.3-0.5mm. Compared with the traditional normal release film thickness of 0.1-0.2mm, the present invention reduces the release film's deformation displacement by increasing the release film thickness, thereby reducing the upper peeling displacement, which is conducive to the rapid displacement of the forming platform, aligning it to the subsequent forming position, and improving printing efficiency.

[0049] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0050] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing the invention and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0051] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0052] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0053] This disclosure provides at least one embodiment of a 3D printing mechanism in a bottom projection mode, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it includes a displacement module 1, a forming platform 2, a material tank 3, a release film 4, and a light projection module 5. The 3D printing mechanism also provides a base frame 6 as the mounting foundation for the structure. The release film 4 is placed between the forming platform 2 and the material tank 3 to form a specific forming area. The fluid medium is loaded into the material tank 3. The light projection module 5 is placed on the side of the release film 4 away from the forming platform 2, thereby irradiating the bottom of the material tank 3. The displacement module 1 drives the forming platform 2 to gradually rise and move upward, so that the fluid medium solidifies layer by layer into multiple polymer layers. The multiple polymer layers are stacked and combined to form the final printed product.
[0054] During the printing stage, the molding platform 2 is immersed in the fluid medium of the material tank 3. Then, the fluid medium between the curing release film 4 and the molding platform 2 is irradiated by the light projection module 5 to form a polymer layer on the molding platform 2. The molding platform 2 then needs to be raised to a certain height to form subsequent polymer layers. The fluid medium is set as a resin material with photocurable properties, such as XX (examples of resins with different viscosities).
[0055] This disclosure provides at least one embodiment of a 3D printing method, such as... Figure 1 As shown, steps S101-S108 are included:
[0056] Step S101: Drive the molding platform 2 to move to the molding position, so that the molding area between the molding surface of the molding platform 2 and the release film 4 constitutes the current layer for printing;
[0057] Step S102: Establish a checkerboard pattern for the current printing layer, so that the current printing layer is configured with a skeleton part and a void part, and the skeleton part and the void part are arranged alternately and adjacently in the extension direction of the current printing layer.
[0058] Step S103: Fill the skeleton part with the fluid medium in the material tank 3, and avoid filling the voids;
[0059] Step S104: Provide light projection to irradiate the current layer for printing, so as to solidify the fluid medium of the skeleton and form a polymer layer;
[0060] Step S105: Drive the molding platform 2 to move away from the release film 4, and move the molding platform 2 to the next molding position;
[0061] The forming area between the forming surface of the forming platform 2 and the release film 4 constitutes another printing current layer;
[0062] Step S106: Similarly, a checkerboard pattern is created for the current layer of printing. The skeleton part is filled with fluid medium in the material tank 3, while avoiding filling the voids.
[0063] Step S107: Provide light projection to irradiate the current layer to solidify the fluid medium of the skeleton and form the next polymer layer;
[0064] Step S108: The printed product is formed by gradually stacking multiple polymer layers one on top of the other;
[0065] In this configuration, the skeleton and clearance parts of the previous printed current layer are staggered with the skeleton and clearance parts of the next printed current layer along the displacement direction of the forming platform 2.
[0066] This 3D printing method uses a checkerboard pattern to create a skeleton and voids in the current printing layer. During infilling, the skeleton is filled while avoiding the voids. For adjacent printing layers, the skeleton and voids of the previous and next printing layers are staggered along the displacement direction of the forming platform 2. Figure 3 and Figure 4 For example, Figure 3 The diagram shown illustrates the checkerboard pattern used in 3D printing to print the current layer.
[0067] Figure 4 The diagram illustrates a checkerboard pattern used in a 3D printing method to process another current printing layer. The two current printing layers are arranged vertically adjacent to each other, with white blocks representing the skeleton and black blocks representing the voids. This arrangement reduces the contact area between the polymer layer formed after the current printing layer solidifies and the release film 4, significantly reducing the exposure adhesion force of the polymer layer relative to the entire release film 4 layer. This helps to reduce the peel displacement between the release film 4 and the polymer layer and accelerates the peeling speed. By reducing the peeling force, it is applicable to printing operations with fluid media of different viscosities, meeting the requirements of high-speed printing. It exhibits good printing continuity and stability, and can improve printing efficiency.
[0068] For the checkerboard pattern processing of the current layer, for example, in some embodiments, the internal filling surface of the molding is specifically processed into a checkerboard pattern. The checkerboard pattern processing specifically involves filling the all-white pixels in the filling area with black pixels interspersed, with black and white pixels forming a skeleton. Corresponding areas of the upper and lower layers are staggered with black and white pixels to reduce the contact area between the current cured layer and the release film 4. The staggered upper and lower layers achieve complete filling. In this way, the exposure adhesion of the current layer relative to the entire layer will be greatly reduced, thereby increasing the peeling speed and reducing the peeling displacement.
[0069] The 3D printing method provided in at least one embodiment of this disclosure further includes: adding a contour envelope to the current printing layer, the contour envelope being disposed around and covering the outer edge of the current printing layer; filling the contour envelope with a fluid medium in the material tank 3, and providing light projection to irradiate the current printing layer to solidify the fluid medium of the skeleton and the contour envelope, so as to form a polymer layer.
[0070] By adding a contour envelope to the current printing layer and filling the contour envelope with a fluid medium, contour envelope constraints are added to the polymer layer. This ensures the surface quality of the printed product while maintaining printing efficiency, and avoids the vertical lines that form on the polymer layer after the checkerboard pattern of the current printing layer has been filled, cured, and formed.
[0071] The 3D printing method provided in at least one embodiment of this disclosure includes a forming platform 2 equipped with a force sensor. The force sensor is adapted to detect the peeling force between the polymer layer and the release film 4 when the forming platform 2 is displaced away from the release film 4. The displacement speed of the forming platform 2 is adjusted according to the peeling force, so that the forming area between the forming surface of the forming platform 2 and the release film 4 constitutes the current layer for subsequent printing. The force sensor is mounted on the forming platform 2 and is adapted to read the peeling force of the forming platform 2 moving upward.
[0072] Furthermore, the polymer layer and release film 4 are completely separated based on the change in peeling force; when it is determined that the polymer layer and release film 4 are completely separated, the displacement speed of the molding platform 2 is increased.
[0073] A mechanical sensor is added to the forming platform 2. Based on the peel force data fed back by the mechanical sensor, it can determine in real time whether the polymer layer and the release film 4 have completely separated. Based on the changes in peel force, the peel speed and displacement are actively adjusted, thereby reducing unnecessary displacement and waiting time of the forming platform 2 and improving printing efficiency. Compared with the traditional fixed displacement and movement speed for each layer, this setting can more intelligently and dynamically adjust the displacement of the forming platform 2 based on peel force data, optimizing the printing process.
[0074] For example, in some embodiments, when the peel force data is within a set range, the displacement module 1 moves the forming platform 2 away from the release film 4. The actual peel force data is related to the current layer forming area, but in this embodiment, it is not specifically limited.
[0075] For example, in some embodiments, the movement of the molding platform 2 away from or towards the release film 4 can be achieved by uniform acceleration or variable acceleration.
[0076] The 3D printing method provided in at least one embodiment of this disclosure uses a release film 4 with a thickness of 0.3-0.5 mm. By using a release film 4 with a thickness of 0.3-0.5 mm, compared to the traditional normal release film 4 thickness of 0.1-0.2 mm, this invention reduces the deformation displacement of the release film 4 by increasing its thickness, thereby reducing the upper peeling displacement. This facilitates the rapid displacement of the forming platform 2, aligning it with the subsequent forming position and improving printing efficiency.
[0077] The 3D printing method provided in at least one embodiment of this disclosure uses a release film 4 configured as an ACF reinforcing plate, which helps to reduce peeling force.
[0078] The 3D printing method provided in at least one embodiment of this disclosure further includes obtaining a 3D printing model, determining the number of printing layers in the printing stage based on the 3D printing model, and determining the process parameters of the printing stage according to the printing layers. The process parameters include at least the printing height and printing area of the printing layers and the amount of fluid medium filling the printing layers.
[0079] In some cases, the intermediate motion process and waiting time have the greatest impact on printing efficiency during the 3D printing stage. The motion displacement and speed of the top and bottom peeling method, as well as the deformation of the release film 4, all affect the molding efficiency.
[0080] The 3D printing method provided by this invention reduces peel release force, peel release displacement and deformation by single-layer curing, thereby improving auxiliary motion efficiency and achieving good printing efficiency, which can meet the printing needs of resins with different viscosities.
[0081] The 3D printing method provided by this invention reduces the amount of peeling deformation and the magnitude of peeling force by adjusting the thickness and material of the release film 4, thereby reducing the solidified area of the filling and thus reducing the peeling force. In addition, the method intelligently judges the magnitude of the peeling force and adjusts the movement speed and displacement in real time, which can significantly reduce the printing auxiliary movement time and improve printing efficiency. It can adapt to high-speed printing of high-viscosity resins.
