Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of 3D printing, in particular to a fused deposition 3D printer. Background Art

[0002] 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a manufacturing technology that creates three-dimensional objects by stacking materials layer by layer. Unlike traditional subtractive manufacturing, 3D printing does not require removing any parts from a piece of material. Instead, it directly adds materials layer by layer according to the instructions of the digital model until the final three-dimensional object is formed.

[0003] Fused deposition modeling, also known as fused filament modeling or fused filament manufacturing, has the same core technical principles and applications. The working principle of a fused deposition 3D printer is to heat thermoplastic materials (such as ABS, PLA, etc.) to a molten state, and then extrude them layer by layer through a nozzle onto the printing platform. The material solidifies after cooling, thereby gradually building a three-dimensional object.

[0004] However, when using this fused deposition modeling 3D printer, sometimes in order to support the objects that have not been completely printed, it is necessary to print support brackets at their edges. When printing is completed, the support brackets need to be removed and discarded, which leads to waste of printing materials, thereby increasing the printing cost of the equipment. In addition, due to the differences in thermal stability, viscosity and fluidity of different printing raw materials, when using the fused deposition modeling 3D printer for a single printing job, it is impossible to use a variety of different raw materials for printing, and its flexibility is poor. In addition, the printing efficiency and printing accuracy of this fused deposition modeling 3D printer are low; therefore, it does not meet the existing needs.
