Description

Three-dimensional Printing and Forming Method for Fiber Reinforced Resin-based Composite Material
Technical Field The present invention relates to a field of 3D printing (additive manufacturing), and in particular to a three-dimensional printing and forming method that may achieve a resin-based composite material with reinforced composite effects of continuous fibers and short fibers.
Background Compared with a traditional cutting processing technology, a 3D printing (additive manufacturing) technology is a technology for additive-manufacturing solid parts in layers "from bottom to top" by using materials. The 3D printing technology is combined with existing industrial automation and computer aided design and the like, has the advantages of a high automation degree, a rapid forming speed and a high raw material utilization rate, and may achieve the digitization of designing and manufacturing processes. At present, the investment of the 3D printing technology is increased in countries around the world, and a variety of 3D printing methods is developed, and widely applied in the fields of electronic products, automobiles, aerospace, medical treatment, military industries, artistic designing and the like. A continuous fiber reinforced composite material has high specific strength and fatigue strength, excellent abrasive resistance and corrosion resistance, and high dimensional stability, and is widely applied in the fields of aerospace and automobile manufacturing and the like. Therefore, it becomes a research direction of multiple scientific research institutions that the 3D printing methods are used to achieve the formation of the continuous fiber reinforced composite material. At present, a method similar to Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is mainly used to melt and mix continuous fibers and resin filaments, and deposit layer by layer on a printing platform. A formed part manufactured by this method has excellent mechanical properties in a fiber spreading direction, and surpasses traditional three-dimensional weaving and knitting formed continuous fiber composite parts. However, it has a poorer performance in a Z direction (a normal direction of a printing layer), and has a poorer interlayer shearing strength and the poorer interface performance. In a working process of the formed part,
1 PN134251JXKX an external force often causes the cases of interlayer falling or breaking.
Summary A purpose of the present invention is to solve the above defects in a related art, and provide a composite material forming method that may achieve reinforced composite effects of continuous fiber and short fiber in a Z-direction, improving the interlayer shearing strength and the interface performance of a formed part, and having the characteristics of high printing precision and high fiber content of the formed part. In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solution. Long fibers are cut into short fibers in preset length by using a fiber cutter 1, the short fibers are added to a pre-mixer 2 with a resin in preset model together, and it is pulled into a pre-mixed short fiber resin wire material 5 for subsequent printing by a wire producing machine 3. Multiple wire feeding mechanisms 4 may respectively pre mix the pre-mixed short fiber resin wire materials 5 in different short fiber dimensions and contents with continuous fibers 6 in a soaking chamber 7, adequately contacting and soaking, each fiber is wrapped by the resin as much as possible. A heating mechanism 8 is outside the soaking chamber 7, it controls a temperature field of an entire continuous fiber printing system, especially a length of a heating section, and may achieve rapid melting of the pre-mixed short fiber resin wire materials 5. A printing nozzle 9 with a special shape is connected under the soaking chamber 7, and may extrude a mixture of the continuous fibers and the resin in the case without damaging the fibers. The above soaking chamber 7, heating mechanism 8 and nozzle 9 are placed on a three-dimensional moving platform 10 after being combined, and may achieve three-dimensional precise movement. A signal acquisition and control portion 11 includes a control card 12, multiple temperature sensors 13, an image sensor 14, and a computer 15. The computer 15 is used to draw a three-dimensional model and generates a G code after slicing. The control card 12 controls statuses of different mechanisms in each printing link, such as, a wire feeding speed, a heating temperature, and a nozzle moving speed. The multiple temperature sensors 13 collect temperatures of the printing platform, the heating mechanism 8 and the nozzle 9 and upload to the computer 15 in real time. The image sensor 14 may monitor the printing effect in real time, and upload to the computer for modifying printing parameters, and it is used to form a closed-loop 2 PN134251JXKX system. The short fibers into which the continuous fibers are cut by using the fiber cutter 1 are 2 mm to 50 mm in dimension, and may be carbon fibers or glass fibers or organic fibers. The continuous fiber printing system may be provided with multiple wire feeding mechanisms 4 which respectively achieve fixed-speed wire feeding of multiple pre mixed short fiber resin wire materials 5 and the continuous fibers, herein, the multiple resins mainly refer to a polylactic acid (PLA), an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS), a polyimide (PI), and a polyether ether ketone (PEEK), the continuous fibers may be the carbon fibers or the glass fibers or the organic fibers in multiple specifications such as 1K, 3K, 6K and 11K. The beneficial effect of the present invention is as follows: the present invention creatively introduces the short fibers into a continuous fiber printing technology, there are randomly-oriented short fibers in two printing layers 16, and the short fibers are tightly combined with the upper and lower two layers through the resin, and they have multiple position forms between the layers. While the short fibers are overlapped in upper and lower two continuous fiber reinforced resin layers, they are Z-direction reinforced short fibers 17, and have a pinning effect. While an external force is applied to a Z-direction of the formed part, the short fibers may resist falling between the layers. While the short fibers are overlapped between a plurality of adjacent forming single paths 18, they are inter-single-path bonding reinforced short fibers 20, and the bonding strength in vertical direction between the single path and the single path is greatly increased. Furthermore, in the present invention, because the pre-mixed short fiber resin wire material 5 contains fibers in higher volume fraction, the continuous fibers added in a deposition process are combined, the fiber content in the formed part may be greatly improved, and more excellent mechanical properties may be acquired.
