Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of additive manufacturing technology through 3D printing and photopolymerization, and particularly relates to a 3D printing platform with complete demolding. Background Technology
[0002] Photopolymerization 3D printing technology uses ultraviolet light to cure liquid photosensitive resin layer by layer, and it is widely used in the field of precision component manufacturing.
[0003] However, existing printing platforms have significant technical bottlenecks in the demolding process and thermal management: insufficient demolding efficiency and integrity, specifically manifested in defects in interface adhesion control, a single peeling assistance mechanism, and limited mechanical properties of the release film. In addition, there are defects in the efficiency of the thermal management system, which can easily lead to problems such as uncontrolled temperature in the curing area and unreasonable airflow circulation paths.
[0004] Traditional printing platforms often use single-layer release films, whose uniform surface distribution leads to concentrated peeling forces. When demolding complex structural models such as those with barbs or thin-walled components, edge tearing or localized residue can easily occur. Until the problem of synergistic control between edge anchoring and low center adhesion is solved, the release film is easily pulled up as a whole, limiting the effective printing area. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a 3D printing platform with complete demolding to solve the problems of insufficient demolding efficiency and integrity, and insufficient thermal management system efficiency in common photopolymer 3D printing equipment.
[0006] The present invention achieves the above-mentioned objectives through the following technical solution: it includes a worktable, a forming table, and a lifting module. The worktable includes a table plate, a printing module, and a curing mechanism, and also includes a bracket, a protective plate, and feet disposed on the outside of the worktable. The curing mechanism includes a closed mounting frame, a DLP light source, and a heat sink. The printing module includes a material tank, a composite release film, a high borosilicate glass support plate, and a vibration-assisted release component arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The bottom surface of the composite release film is bonded to the upper surface of the high borosilicate glass support plate. The worktable also includes a ventilation component and an auxiliary heat dissipation component, which are respectively installed on both sides of the closed mounting frame.
[0007] Furthermore, the platform is a double-layered plate-like splicing structure with a square hole through the middle of each layer. The upper splicing plate has a thin film groove for supporting the composite release film, and the lower splicing plate has arc-shaped support plates fixed at the four corners of the square hole for supporting the high borosilicate glass support plate. The upper and lower double-layered plate-like splicing structures are both horizontally provided with columnar limiting grooves. The vibration-assisted release component is disposed inside the two columnar limiting grooves, and a vertical columnar mounting groove is also provided at one end of the columnar limiting groove. The columnar mounting groove is connected to the columnar limiting groove, and the other end of the columnar limiting groove is connected to the square hole.
[0008] Furthermore, the composite release film comprises an upper polyurea polymer film and a lower colorless polyimide film. The polyurea polymer film and the colorless polyimide film are bonded together after lamination. The central region of the upper surface of the polyurea polymer film is coated with a fluorosilicone coating containing silica nanoparticles, and the edge region of the upper surface of the polyurea polymer film is also coated with an acrylate coating. The area of the polyurea polymer film is larger than the area of the colorless polyimide film.
[0009] Furthermore, the polyurea polymer film is highly elastic, forming an elastic buffer when the printed product is pulled upwards, preventing the composite release film from breaking and being forcibly pulled up, thus detaching from the borosilicate glass substrate. The colorless polyimide film is even harder, serving as a stable bottom support and connecting structure, tightly connecting the composite release film to the borosilicate glass substrate, and preventing the composite release film from detaching from the borosilicate glass substrate due to external forces.
[0010] Furthermore, an acrylic material with higher surface energy is coated on the edge area (non-printing area) of the composite release film to form a coordinated structure of "low surface energy in the center + high adhesion at the edge". This reduces the adhesion between the printed product and the center area of the composite release film, while the high adhesion at the edge ensures that the printed product is fixed to the edge of the composite release film. This increases the area of the fluorosilicone coating, thereby increasing the actual printing area.
[0011] Furthermore, the ventilation assembly includes an air inlet pipe array and an air outlet pipe array. The air inlet pipe array and the air outlet pipe array are respectively installed on both sides of the closed mounting frame and penetrate its side wall. A straight pipe fitting is inserted into the outside of the air inlet pipe array and fixed with screws. The straight pipe fitting is used to converge multiple pipes of the air inlet pipe array into a single port. A small air pump is provided on the lower side of the air inlet pipe array, and the output end of the small air pump is connected to the port of the straight pipe fitting through a pipe. A dust cover is provided on the outside of the input end of the small air pump and is connected through a pipe. The dust cover penetrates the outer protective plate of the workbench and is fixed with screws and connectors.
[0012] Furthermore, the ventilation component injects air into the inside of the curing mechanism, which not only cools the DLP light source area, but also allows excess trapped air to spontaneously disperse upwards, forming an air isolation layer above the release film through the high borosilicate glass substrate and the composite release film, facilitating demolding.
[0013] Furthermore, the auxiliary heat dissipation component includes a vertical straight-flow pipe fitting, which is inserted into the outside of the air supply pipe and fixed with screws. The inner side of the vertical straight-flow pipe fitting is provided with an air flow channel with an inverted L-shaped cross-section. An air receiving box is provided at the bottom of the vertical straight-flow pipe fitting. The air receiving box is a square hollow box. The top of the air receiving box is connected to the air flow channel. A number of square protrusions are provided on one side of the air receiving box, and the center of the square protrusions has a hole structure and communicates with the internal space of the air receiving box.
[0014] Furthermore, the radiator is a finned radiator, the block-shaped protrusion is inserted between adjacent fins of the radiator, and the opening of the hole structure is perpendicular to the direction of the fins.
[0015] Furthermore, the platform is a double-layered plate-like splicing structure with a square hole through the middle of each layer. The upper splicing plate has a thin film groove for supporting the composite release film, and the lower splicing plate has arc-shaped support plates fixed at the four corners of the square hole for supporting the high borosilicate glass support plate. The upper and lower double-layered plate-like splicing structures are both horizontally provided with columnar limiting grooves. The vibration-assisted release component is disposed inside the two columnar limiting grooves, and a vertical columnar mounting groove is also provided at one end of the columnar limiting groove. The columnar mounting groove is connected to the columnar limiting groove, and the other end of the columnar limiting groove is connected to the square hole.
[0016] Furthermore, the vibration-assisted detachment component is an ultrasonic vibrator, which consists of an ultrasonic transducer and an ultrasonic amplitude transformer. One end of the ultrasonic amplitude transformer is connected to the side of the high borosilicate glass support plate. The ultrasonic amplitude transformer is embedded in the cylindrical limiting groove and is movably connected. The ultrasonic transducer is installed in the cylindrical mounting groove.
[0017] Furthermore, the composite release membrane has a plurality of micropores arrayed on it, the diameter of which is between 10 and 15 nm.
[0018] Furthermore, compared to full-coverage film, composite release film has less centrifugal force, and the micropores on the film allow oxygen to pass through. After the oxygen permeates the upper surface of the composite release film, it can form an airflow barrier layer between the contact surface between the printed product and the composite release film. Therefore, the formed printed product does not directly contact the composite release film, thereby increasing the separation speed between the printed product and the release film.
[0019] Furthermore, the model generates a large amount of heat during the molding process. Air passes through the micropores on the composite release film, carrying away some of the heat from the release film to achieve an air cooling effect. This indirectly increases the printing speed of the photopolymer 3D printing equipment in this solution by 1.2 to 1.3 times compared to conventional single-layer release film printers.
[0020] Furthermore, the high borosilicate glass substrate has an array of micropores, the diameter of which is between 0.02 mm and 0.1 mm.
[0021] Furthermore, while composite release films can improve the speed of model release, they cannot solve the problem of the release film being pulled up when the printed product is released. Because the release film is stretched too taut and then released again, the central area of the release film is concave, making it difficult to achieve large-area printing. The optimal printing area is still the central area of the release film, and the printing efficiency is low. By bonding the composite release film to a transparent borosilicate glass substrate, the composite release film is prevented from being pulled up by the printed product, thereby increasing the actual printing area and achieving the purpose of large-area printing. In addition, the synergistic effect of the micropores on the substrate and the composite release film reduces the adhesion between the printed product and the composite release film, so that the printing efficiency is not affected by the large adhesion when printing large areas.
[0022] Beneficial effects: This invention is reasonably designed and has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] 1. In the present invention, the composite release film synergistic demolding structure improves the peeling efficiency by adopting a two-layer composite structure of polyurea polymer film + colorless polyimide film. The upper polyurea film, with its high elasticity, forms an elastic buffer layer during the lifting process of the printed product, preventing the release film surface from cracking due to stress concentration. The lower polyimide film provides rigid support, suppresses excessive deformation of the release film, and ensures the stability of the printed area.
[0024] 2. In the present invention, the surface coating is designed to form a functional zone with low surface energy in the center and high adhesion at the edges. The fluorosilicone coating containing silica nanoparticles in the central area significantly reduces the resin adhesion. The high adhesion generated by the edge acrylate coating through chemical anchoring ensures that the printing resin and the edge of the composite release film are fixed, preventing overall peeling and effectively increasing the actual printing area. In conjunction with the microporous structure on the film, the oxygen that permeates during the printing process forms an air film barrier layer on the contact surface, reducing the peeling force to one-third of that of traditional release films, achieving tear-free and rapid demolding.
[0025] 3. In this invention, vibration-assisted demolding and micro-ventilation are coupled to enhance the integrity of demolding. The vibration-assisted demolding component periodically transmits vibration to the borosilicate glass substrate through an ultrasonic vibrator, causing high-frequency vibration on the surface of the borosilicate glass substrate, which breaks the mechanical interlock between the model and the substrate. At the same time, the micropores on the substrate with matching diameters and the micropores on the film form a through ventilation path. When printing is completed, the lifting module drives the forming stage to rise, and the microporous structure quickly balances the air pressure difference between the film and the substrate, avoiding model residue caused by vacuum adsorption.
[0026] 4. In the present invention, the directional heat dissipation system optimizes the ventilation component of the photocuring environment and the auxiliary heat dissipation component to construct a three-dimensional heat dissipation channel. A small air pump inputs filtered air into the curing mechanism through a straight pipe and distributes it evenly to the curing area through the air inlet pipe. The inverted L-shaped airflow channel of the auxiliary heat dissipation component guides the airflow vertically through the finned heat sink. The square protrusions are embedded in the gaps between the fins to form a high-speed airflow zone, so that the surface temperature of the DLP light source and the heat sink is stably controlled at a low level. This not only extends the life of the light source, but also significantly improves the dimensional accuracy of the printed parts by controlling the temperature gradient of the substrate, effectively solving the problems of resin viscosity changes and component warping caused by high temperature.
[0027] 5. In this invention, the microporous cooling and large-area printing adaptability breakthrough of the composite release film and the high borosilicate substrate form a passive heat dissipation + active air cooling composite system. When air flows through the micropores, it can carry away some of the residual heat from curing on the surface of the release film, shortening the curing time of single-layer printing and improving the overall printing speed. At the same time, the rigid support of the substrate firmly fixes the release film on the surface and maintains a constant position. Combined with the anchoring effect of the edge coating, the effective printing area expands from a center radius of 100mm to the full width, meeting the molding requirements of large-size components and filling the performance gap of traditional flexible release film platforms in large-area printing.
[0028] 6. In the present invention, the microporous array of the high borosilicate glass substrate and the composite release film forms a through-ventilation structure. When the forming stage rises after printing, the outside air is filtered by the dust cover of the protective plate and then quickly forms an air isolation layer with a thickness of about 5-10μm between the upper surface of the composite release film and the bottom surface of the printed product through the airflow path driven by a small air pump. This isolation layer enhances demolding performance through a dual mechanism: Firstly, the small-diameter micropores allow oxygen molecules to preferentially permeate, inhibiting excessive cross-linking of the resin on the release film surface during photopolymerization, forming a low-adhesion interface layer with a thickness of approximately 20-50 μm. This reduces the effective contact area between the printed product and the release film from 95% in traditional fully laminated structures to below 40%. Secondly, when the forming stage moves the model upwards, the diameter difference between the micropores on the plate and the micropores on the film creates an air pressure gradient. Air is quickly replenished to the peeling interface through the micropores, avoiding model adhesion caused by vacuum adsorption. Combined with the low-frequency vibration of the vibration-assisted demolding component, the demolding time for complex curved surface models can be shortened, and the edge damage rate of the model during peeling can be reduced. It is especially suitable for precision components with barbs and deep cavity structures. Through the synergistic effect of air film support and interface weakening of the air isolation layer, complete demolding without tearing or residue is achieved, significantly improving the finished product qualification rate and production efficiency of photopolymer 3D printing.

[0050] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, the platform 11 has a double-layered plate-like splicing structure with square holes 1103 through the middle of each layer.

[0051] Combination Figure 9As shown, the vibration-assisted detachment component 1204 is an ultrasonic vibrator, which consists of an ultrasonic transducer 12041 and an ultrasonic amplitude transformer 12042. One end of the ultrasonic amplitude transformer 12042 is connected to the side of the high borosilicate glass support plate 1203. The ultrasonic amplitude transformer 12042 is embedded in the cylindrical limiting groove 1106 and is movably connected. The ultrasonic transducer 12041 is installed in the cylindrical mounting groove 1107.
[0052] Combination Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of micropores 12025 are arrayed on the composite release membrane 1202, and the diameter of the micropores 12025 is between 10 and 15 nm.
[0053] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, a number of microholes 12031 are arrayed on the high borosilicate glass substrate 1203, and the diameter of the microholes 12031 is between 0.02mm and 0.1mm.
[0054] Working principle: During use, the fluorosilicone coating 12023 of the polyurea film 12021 on the composite release film 1202 reduces resin adhesion through its low surface energy characteristics, while the high adhesion generated by the edge acrylate coating 12024 through chemical anchoring ensures that the printing resin is fixed to the edge of the composite release film 1202, preventing the whole from lifting up.
[0055] During the printing process, air permeates upward through the micropores 12031 on the high borosilicate glass substrate 1203 and the micropores 12025 on the composite release film, forming a 5-10μm thick air isolation layer at the resin-release film interface, inhibiting excessive cross-linking of the interface and reducing the peel strength to below 1.5N / cm.
[0056] The ultrasonic vibrator periodically transmits the vibration to the side of the high borosilicate glass substrate, converting it into high-frequency vibration, which disrupts the mechanical engagement between the model and the substrate.
[0057] When the molding platform 2 lifts the model upwards, a pressure difference is created between the micropores on the plate and the micropores on the membrane. Outside air is quickly replenished to the release interface through the ventilation component 14, balancing the vacuum adsorption force and preventing the model from sticking to the release membrane due to negative pressure. With the combined effect of these two factors, the demolding force of complex structure models is reduced by more than 60% compared to traditional platforms.
[0058] The heat generated by the DLP light source 1302 during operation is initially absorbed by the finned heat sink 1303. The vertical straight pipe 1501 of the auxiliary heat dissipation component 15 guides the airflow vertically through the heat sink fins via the inverted L-shaped airflow channel 1502. The square protrusion 1504 of the air box 1503 is embedded in the gap between the fins to form a high-speed airflow zone of 2-3m / s, which stably controls the surface temperature of the lamp array at 55±5℃, avoiding abnormal resin viscosity and model warping caused by high temperature.
[0059] The small air pump 1404 draws in air from the outside through the dust cover 1405, and collects it through the straight pipe 1403 to the air inlet pipe 1401, which is then evenly supplied to the curing area. After heat exchange, the air enters the auxiliary heat dissipation component through the air outlet pipe 1402, carrying the heat from the radiator and being discharged through the perforated structure of the air receiver, forming a closed-loop airflow system of "air intake filtration - area cooling - directional heat dissipation". The air exchange rate reaches 5-8 m3 per minute, ensuring that the temperature gradient of the printing environment is ≤3℃ / mm.
