Since the advent of the technology, the technology has gradually been widely used in manufacturing industries of countries around the world, and thus a new technical field has come to emerge. The 3D printing technology, as an emerging rapid prototyping technology, is mainly applied to the fields of product prototyping, mold manufacturing, artistic creation, jewelry making, and the like, and is used to replace some conventional finishing processes in these fields. In addition, the 3D printing technology is gradually applied to the fields of medicine, bioengineering, construction, clothing and the like, and a wide space is opened for innovation. At present, the 3D printing and forming method mainly includes Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Stereolithography (SLA), and Layered Object Manufacturing (LOM), wherein FDM is the fastest developing technology.
FDM means that the filiform thermoplastic material is fed into a spray head by a wire feeder, heated to a molten state in the spray head and extruded through a nozzle. And extruding the molten filamentous material, solidifying and molding at a specified position according to a path controlled by layered data of three-dimensional software, depositing and solidifying layer by layer, and finally forming the whole three-dimensional product. The FDM has clean and safe operating environment, simple process and easy operation, and generates no garbage, thereby greatly widening the operating occasions. The raw material used is provided in the form of a reel wire, which is easy to handle and quick to change. However, the FDM forming method at present has some essential defects, so that the application range of FDM is greatly limited, and the FDM forming method mainly focuses on industries such as handicraft articles and offices.
