Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of additive manufacturing printing, in particular to a 3D printing method, a printer and a storage medium.
Background
Additive manufacturing (3 DP) printing techniques are directed to a spray head under control of a software system to selectively spray adhesive at corresponding locations according to cross-sectional two-dimensional data at a set height of a model, ultimately forming a layer. And (3) paving a layer of granular substances, paving and compacting, spraying a layer of adhesive, and circulating until the whole object is bonded. In this process, a curved surface or an arc surface appears in the height direction, and the minimum height (layer thickness) of the 3DP powder is limited due to the comprehensive influence of the particle size of the powder particles and the powder spreading device of the 3DP printer. When the software is sliced, the software is sliced according to the minimum height to form two-dimensional data at a fixed height. In the comprehensive situation, the printed result is in the height direction, lines similar to steps are formed, the sand mould with the lines similar to the steps is used for casting, the surface roughness of the casting is affected, the overall quality of the casting is further affected, and even unqualified products are formed.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects of the prior art, the invention provides a 3D printing method, a printer and a storage medium, and one technical problem solved by one aspect of the invention is weakening or blurring step lines, so that a qualified product is obtained.
The invention solves the technical problems by adopting a technical scheme that:
A3D printing method uses slicing software to set a layer thickness cutting model of a granular material so as to obtain two-dimensional graphic data of a granular material slice; using slicing software to set an inkjet layer thickness cutting model to obtain two-dimensional graphic data of an inkjet slice; the set inkjet layer thickness is less than the set particulate material layer thickness, and the set particulate material layer thickness is an integer multiple of the set inkjet layer thickness; judging whether the difference of areas of the shapes surrounded by the two-dimensional patterns of the granular material slices of the adjacent layers is equal to a set difference value or not according to the two-dimensional pattern data of the granular material slices; if so, paving the granular materials on the adjacent layers according to the set granular material layer thickness, and then finishing the ink jet of the adjacent layers according to the two-dimensional graphic data of the corresponding ink jet slice and the ink jet quantity corresponding to the set ink jet cutting layer thickness.
When the material-increasing manufacturing prints, if the thickness of the layer of the real granular material is thinner, the printing precision is higher, especially the printing inclined plane or the circular arc and other structures, because the layer thickness leads to the printed product to have step-shaped grains, and the step-shaped grains in the sand core can influence the surface smoothness degree of the later casting, thereby not meeting the product requirement, or needing subsequent surface treatment, and wasting time and energy. The method comprises setting a minimum value of the layer thickness of the granular material, namely, when the technology is not further developed, setting the minimum value of the layer thickness of the granular material to be certain, and no way to lay thinner granular material, so when judging that the slope or arc surface of a model is to be printed, namely, when the difference of the areas of the shapes surrounded by two-dimensional patterns of the granular material slices of the adjacent layers is equal to the set difference value, the ink jet of the adjacent layers is completed according to the two-dimensional pattern data of the corresponding ink jet slices and the ink jet quantity corresponding to the set ink jet cutting layer thickness, because the ink jet quantity can be reduced, cutting the model in a thinner mode, namely, cutting the model in the set ink jet layer thickness, thus, the original set granular material layer thickness is divided into two or more set ink jet layer thicknesses, that is, the improved proposal edge protrudes a part of the prior proposal, namely, a plurality of small steps are added on the steps, and the ink jet quantity at the edge of the layer is reduced by one half or more, so that the layer of the set particle material layer reaches the condition that the ink jet quantity from the edge to the middle is gradually increased, that is, the adhesive force among the particles at the edge is weaker, the layers are advanced to the normal part in the middle, thus, when the later cleaning is carried out, the sand cleaning device with the same strength is used, the particles at the outer edge are easier to clean and remove, the layers are advanced, new steps with low layer height interval are formed, and the effect of the finally edge blurring the steps is more obvious because the steps are divided into thinner slices, so that the step layer originally caused by the particle material layer thickness is obviously blurring now, and is divided into a plurality of small steps, the printed inclined surface or cambered surface has good surface effect, is more smooth, and has no obvious step shape before.
Preferably, the method determines whether the difference between the areas of the shapes surrounded by the two-dimensional patterns of the granular material slices of the adjacent layers is equal to a set difference value according to the two-dimensional pattern data of the granular material slices; if so, paving the granular material on the adjacent layer according to the set granular material layer thickness, and then finishing the ink jet of the adjacent layer according to the two-dimensional graph data of the corresponding ink jet slice and the ink jet quantity corresponding to the set ink jet cutting layer thickness, wherein the step of finishing the ink jet of the adjacent layer is specifically that whether the difference of the areas of the shapes surrounded by the two-dimensional graphs of the granular material slice of the adjacent layer is equal to the set difference value is judged according to the two-dimensional graph data of the granular material slice; if so, judging whether the included angle between the outline of the model and the horizontal plane of the adjacent granular material slice two-dimensional graph is smaller than or equal to 70 degrees or not according to the positions of the granular material slice two-dimensional graph of the model and the adjacent layer in the model, if so, paving granular materials on the adjacent layer according to the set granular material layer thickness, and then finishing the ink jet of the adjacent layer according to the corresponding two-dimensional graph data of the ink jet slice and the ink jet quantity corresponding to the set ink jet cutting layer thickness
The printing method has more remarkable effect of printing the inclined plane or the cambered surface with the inclination angle smaller than or equal to 70 degrees, and the inclined plane or the cambered surface is close to the vertical plane under the condition of larger inclination angle because the smaller the inclination angle is, the shorter the distance between the steps is, so that the steps are not remarkable, and the effect of printing the inclined plane or the cambered surface with the inclination angle smaller than 70 degrees is more remarkable.
Preferably, when the part of the outer contour between the two-dimensional patterns of the adjacent granular material slices, which has an included angle of less than or equal to 70 degrees with the horizontal plane, is continuous and the extension length along the outer contour is greater than the set length, the part of the model, which has an included angle of less than or equal to 70 degrees with the horizontal plane, is judged.
The efficiency and the effect are more remarkable only when the cambered surface or the inclined surface exceeds a certain area, so that the scheme is preferentially selected under the condition.
Preferably, the method includes the steps of judging whether the difference of areas of the two-dimensional patterns of the granular material slices of the adjacent layers is equal to a set difference; if so, paving the granular material on the adjacent layer according to the set granular material layer thickness, then paving the granular material according to the corresponding two-dimensional graph data of the ink jet slice and the ink jet quantity corresponding to the set ink jet cutting layer thickness, and finishing the ink jet of the granular material layer thickness according to the two-dimensional graph data of the corresponding ink jet slice, namely obtaining the ink jet cutting layer number N in the set granular material layer thickness and the ink jet quantity of the corresponding spraying of each layer according to the set ink jet cutting layer thickness, finally obtaining a superposition graph of N two-dimensional graphs needing ink jet in one granular material layer thickness and the ink jet quantity of each part in the superposition graph, firstly paving the granular material according to the set granular material layer thickness, and then finishing the ink jet of the granular material layer thickness by one ink jet, thus repeatedly finishing the ink jet of the adjacent layer.
Firstly, laying the granular material according to the set granular material, and then, changing the ink jet quantity to make the quantity of the ink permeated into different places of the layer different, so as to achieve the purpose of blurring the layer grain.
Preferably, the method includes the steps of judging whether the difference of areas of the two-dimensional patterns of the granular material slices of the adjacent layers is equal to a set difference; if so, paving the granular material on the adjacent layer according to the set granular material layer thickness, then finishing the ink jet of the adjacent layer according to the two-dimensional graph data of the corresponding ink jet slice and the ink jet quantity corresponding to the set ink jet cutting layer thickness, namely obtaining the two-dimensional graph sprayed on each layer according to the two-dimensional graph data of the corresponding ink jet slice, obtaining the number N of the ink jet cutting layers and the ink jet quantity required to be sprayed on each layer according to the set ink jet cutting layer thickness, firstly paving the granular material on the adjacent layer according to the set granular material layer thickness, then sequentially spraying the ink on the two-dimensional graph of each layer for N times according to the height sequence, and spraying the ink jet quantity corresponding to the layer each time, namely finishing the ink jet of the granular material layer thickness by spraying the ink for N times for one time, and repeating the ink jet of the adjacent layer.
For the common printing head and the ink-jet software, the expected effect can be achieved through a mode of multiple ink-jet, the efficiency is slow, but the ink-jet printing head is easy to realize, the amount of the ink permeated into different places of the layer is different, the effect of blurring steps is achieved when sand-cleaning treatment is carried out, and the final effect is good.
Preferably, the ink jet amount per unit area of the set particulate material layer thickness is L, and the number of ink jet cut layers in the set particulate material layer thickness is N, and the ink jet amount per unit area of the set particulate material layer thickness is L/N.
Since the ink jet amount determines the adhesion between the particulate materials, it is preferable to estimate the ink jet amount required for the ink jet cut layer thickness from the ink jet amount for the set layer thickness of the particulate material per unit area which has been determined before, and this is a good result by the test.
Preferably, according to the two-dimensional graph data of the granular material slices, whether the difference of the areas of the shapes surrounded by the two-dimensional graphs of the granular material slices of the adjacent layers is equal to a set difference value is judged; if not, paving the granular materials on the adjacent layers according to the set granular material layer thickness, and then finishing the ink jet of the adjacent layers according to the two-dimensional graphic data of the corresponding granular material slices and the ink jet quantity corresponding to the set granular material layer thickness.
When the difference of the areas of the shapes surrounded by the two-dimensional patterns of the granular material slices of the adjacent layers is not equal to the set difference, namely the printing part does not involve the step-shaped lines, and the blurring processing is not needed, the conventional printing mode is used for printing, so that the efficiency is improved, and the printing speed is increased.
A printer comprising a memory, a processor and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, the processor implementing the steps of the method described above when the computer program is executed.
A computer readable storage medium storing a computer program which, when executed by a processor, performs the steps of the method described above.
A printed product obtainable using the above method or a printer or a storage medium.
According to the technical scheme, the method has the advantages that the set particle material layer thickness with a certain thickness is divided into the set ink-jet layer thicknesses with smaller layer thicknesses, so that different ink amounts are sprayed, the ink-jet amount at the edge is reduced, the ink-jet amount is added to the middle layer by layer, the viscosity among the particle materials is different, the strength at the edge is lower than that of the middle part, and then the sand cleaning strength is equal in the later sand cleaning treatment, the gradient sand cleaning effect can be generated, the blurring step-shaped grain effect is achieved, and the surface quality is improved.
