The invention provides a water floating 3D printing device and method for space additive manufacturing
simulation verification, and relates to the field of space additive manufacturing. The water floating 3D printing device comprises a controller, a main mechanical arm, a 3D printing head, a microgravity printing environment
simulation device, a micro mechanical arm and a sensor
assembly. The microgravity printing environment
simulation device comprises a water tank and a dynamic floating substrate unit. The dynamic floating substrate unit floats in the water tank to simulate a microgravity environment; the micro mechanical arm is used for regulating and controlling the
nozzle position of the 3D printing head and ensuring that the
nozzle is aligned with the floating substrate; and the main mechanical arm is used for moving the 3D printing head according to a preset printing path and assisting in regulating the position of the
nozzle. According to the device, through a water floating method, the space microgravity environment can be effectively simulated, the micro mechanical arm and the mechanical arm of the main
machine work cooperatively, and accurate and rapid printing can be achieved. According to the invention, a space-imitated environment is provided for
fused deposition modeling printing, and the experiment of additive manufacturing of the space-imitated environment can be carried out on the ground.
