Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of 3D printing devices, and particularly relates to a multifunctional 3D printing device. Background Art

[0002] 3D printing, which is a kind of rapid prototyping technology, is a high-tech manufacturing technology based on the material stacking method. It is regarded as a major achievement in the manufacturing field in the past 20 years. It integrates mechanical engineering, CAD, reverse engineering technology, layered manufacturing technology, numerical control technology, material science, and laser technology. It can automatically, directly, quickly, and accurately transform design ideas into prototypes with certain functions or directly manufacture parts, thus providing an efficient and low-cost implementation means for aspects such as part prototype production and verification of new design ideas. 3D printing is usually realized by using a digital technology material printer. It is often used in the fields of mold manufacturing and industrial design to manufacture models, and then gradually used for the direct manufacturing of some products. There are already parts printed using this technology.

[0003] According to a publicly disclosed multifunctional assembled 3D printing device and 3D printing method (publication number: CN105328910A), it includes a base, a disc, a processing platform, a support frame, a print head, a cooling device, a camera device, and a control device. A rotatable disc is arranged on the base. Multiple print heads are used to manufacture different layer cross-sections of workpieces on different processing platforms on the disc, which can complete the processing of workpieces made of different colors or different types of raw materials. There is no need to add processing equipment, and the processing efficiency of workpieces is high, and the forming speed of workpieces is fast. A cooling device is arranged on the processing platform, which can cool the layer cross-section of the workpiece during the processing to improve the forming quality of the workpiece. A camera device is arranged on the processing platform, which can obtain the layer cross-section image of the workpiece in real time during the processing and send it to the controller to compare the layer cross-section image with the saved layer cross-section data to ensure that each layer cross-section is printed correctly, further improving the forming quality of the workpiece. However, in the above device, through the mutual cooperation of components such as the cooling device, the camera device, and the control device, it is difficult to achieve the effect of replenishing liquid to the printer main body, and it is difficult to realize the automatic liquid replenishment function of the printer main body, wasting the user's time and energy and reducing the printing efficiency, which needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional 3D printing device.
