First embodiment:
As shown in figure 3, the three-dimensional printer with backing material printhead provided for the present embodiment, the three-dimensional printer includes Print head assembly and print platform 20.
Print head assembly can be independently moved relative to print platform 20 along three-dimensional.Controller 30 respectively with printhead Component and print platform 20 are directly or indirectly electrically connected, controller can be a single-chip microcomputer or chip processor or computer or PLC(Programmable logic controller (PLC))Program.Print head assembly includes the first printhead 41, the second printhead 42 and the 3rd printhead 43.First printhead 41 is mounted with type body material, and the first printhead 41 can be with respect to print platform 20 along three-dimensional independence Ground is mobile.Second printhead 42 is mounted with printing backing material, and the second printhead 42 can be with respect to print platform 20 along three-dimensional Independently move.
First printhead 41 and the second printhead 42 can take the mode of wire silk fusion sediment to be printed, thread The transmission of material, the process of melting extrusion shaping use the printhead of existing three-dimensional printer.For example, the He of the first printhead 41 Second printhead 42 can be beaten using U.S. MakerBot companies with the silks such as PLA, ABS transmission, melting, printing function Print head.Type body material and printing backing material can select the existing filamentary material for 3 D-printing, such as PLA (PLA), ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer), PVC(Polyvinyl chloride), PC(Makrolon).
Binding agent is mounted with 3rd printhead 43, the 3rd printhead 43 can be a spray gun, and spray gun sprays binding agent It is coated in supporting plate 50.3rd printhead 43 can also be an application device, and application device can be in the control of controller 30 Under smear certain thickness binding agent in supporting plate 50, the effect of binding agent is that the bottom surface adhesion of supporting part is firmly existed In supporting plate 50, can so avoid the position of supporting part from moving, the inclined of printing objects can be then caused in the event of position movement Difference.Binding agent can for example select following material:Cyanoacrylates, thixotropy (pseudoplastic behavior) cyanoacrylate glue Knot agent, the thixotropy a- cyanoacrylates of stable storing, the agent of fast solidification cyanoacrylate ester knot, alpha-cyanoacrylate It is the priming paint of ester binding agent, anaerobic curable adhesive, the anaerobic adhesive of high intensity stable storing, industrial glue, medical Glue etc..
Supporting plate component has the travel mechanism and supporting plate 50 for linking together, and travel mechanism drives supporting plate 50 relative Moved on three-dimensional in print platform 20.The edge part of supporting plate 50 is flexible edge part, and flexible edge part is, for example, silicon Glue, when supporting plate 50 moves close to main part 10, flexible edge part can play certain cushioning effect, it is to avoid hard Property striking after main part 10 cause its surface and damage, or hardness is clashed into and causes the position of main part 10 to be moved, and The deviation that this position movement is caused can cause the precise decreasing of three-dimensional body.Flexible edge part is also provided with Distance-sensing Device, range sensor for example can be infrared sensor or the range sensor based on other principles, when sensor sensing to away from From main part 10 distance less than with a certain distance from after, controller 30 is controlled and reduces the rate travel of mobile supporting plate 50, distance Sensor can be a touching switch.Range sensor, the first printhead 41, the second printhead 42, the 3rd printhead 43, beat Print platform 20, supporting plate 50 are directly or indirectly electrically connected with controller 30, and thus controller 30 controls their work. For example in a kind of mode, the rotation of the controlled motor of controller 30, motor is realized to the first printhead 41, the by drive disk assembly Two printheads 42, the 3rd printhead 43, print platform 20, the mobile control of supporting plate 50.
