3d printing technology is a technology that has received much attention in recent years and can transform digital models into physical objects with the advantages of speed, precision and flexibility. In the printing industry, 3d printing technology has also been widely used. This paper will explore 3d printing techniques from processes, products, equipment, etc。
I. 3d printing
The 3d printing process consists mainly of modelling, slice, printing, etc. Modelling is the conversion of digital models into printable file formats, and the most common modelling software is solidworks, autocad, etc. Slices break the modelling file into layers with a thickness of 0. 1-0. 3 mm per layer. The print is the stacking of each layer of slices into a physical object. 3d printing technologies can use a variety of materials such as plastics, metals, ceramics, etc。
Ii. 3d print products
3d print products range from industrial products to medical devices to works of art. In the case of industrial products, 3d printing techniques can make complex parts, moulds, etc., and increase production efficiency. With regard to medical devices, 3d printing techniques can improve the quality of life of patients by creating personalized limbs, teeth, etc. With regard to works of art, 3d printing techniques can create unique sculptures, devices, etc., and show artists ' creativity。
Iii. 3d production equipment
3d printing equipment consists mainly of photo fixation, melting sediments and powder sintering. Photosolidation technology is the solidification of liquid photo-sensitive resins into physical objects through ultraviolet light, commonly used equipment such as sla, dlp, etc. Melting sediment technology is used to collide melted materials through jets, often with fdm, sls, etc. Powder sintering techniques are used to burn powder into physical objects via lasers, commonly using equipment such as sls, slm, etc。
Iv. 3d printingFuture developments
3d printing technology will become more widespread and mature in future developments. The quality and efficiency of 3d print products will be further enhanced as materials, equipment and equipment are continuously updated and upgraded. At the same time, 3d printing technologies will be combined with artificial intelligence, networking, etc., to create more intelligent and automated production patterns。
In sum, 3d printing is a technology with broad application prospects that will play an increasingly important role in the printing industry. We look forward to the continuous innovation and development of 3d printing technologies, which will provide us with additional surprises and facilities。
