Description

Solidification-stack shaping method and device thereof based on solution
The present invention relates to a kind of solidification-stack shaping method and device thereof, belong to materials processing RP technique field based on solution.
Method of the present invention is based on fusion sediment forming technology (Fused Deposition Modeling is called for short FDM).This technology is at first by U.S. Stratasys, Inc.of Eden Prairic, and Minnesota company succeeds in developing, and sees U.S. Pat, 5,121,329, the material of FDM generally is a thermoplastic, as macromolecular material macromolecules such as wax, ABS, resin, nylon, with the filamentary material feed.Material is heated fusing in shower nozzle.Shower nozzle is along the part section profile and fill orbiting motion, simultaneously the material of fusing is extruded; Material solidifies rapidly, and with the material adhesive that reaches last layer on every side together, progressively pile up prototype.
Material shape during according to formation of parts generally can be divided into melted extrusion forming and fusion reaction-injection moulding.In the melt extruded quick shaping, behind the moulding material heating and melting under the constant pressure effect with lower speed extrusion nozzle continuously, part is to gather stack shaping progressively by filamentary material controlled, shown in Fig. 1 (a).Tsing-Hua University has proposed the technology based on this forming mode, is called MEM (Melted ExtrusionManufacturing), sees Chinese patent ZL98219118.9; In quick shaping was sprayed in fusion, the material of molten state was that part is shaped by controlled the gathering of droplets of material, shown in Fig. 1 (b) with higher speed injection nozzle discretely.
The prototype that FDM technology is made can be directly used in lost-wax casting, and what also have can directly use as structural member.But, the prototype that is shaped with thermoplastic is when being used for lost foam casting and turning over the system ceramic mould, prototype volumetric expansion when fusing produces pressure to ceramic shell easily, causes the shell distortion, leave residual stress, serious even make the shell cracking, influence the quality of foundry goods; And wax or ABS prototype easily stay residue when fusing disappears, and is difficult to clean out, simultaneously also contaminated environment; In addition, FDM prototype material expensive (the ABS Si $4000/Kg that is used for the FDM shaping that U.S. Stratasys produces), Rapid Casting technology based on the FDM prototype has favorable economic benefit in single-piece, small lot when making, but when making quantity greater than 10, then average molding cost is higher than traditional molding mode on the contrary.
The objective of the invention is to propose a kind of solidification-stack shaping method and device thereof, overcome the shortcoming of prior art, reduce the moulding expense, improve formed precision, and adapt to the requirement of modern society personalization of product, small lot based on solution.
The solidification-stack shaping method based on solution that the present invention proposes comprises the steps:
(1) form temperature environment that is shaped uniformly, the temperature of this shaping environment than moulding material freezing point temperature low 10 ℃~70 ℃;
(2) the liquid molding material is under the pressure of about 0.1~0.4 crust, spray from shower nozzle with continuous or discrete way track along the physical prototype of required shaping, in being lower than the shaping environment of its freezing point temperature, solidify rapidly, and with the bonding of shaped portion, successively pile up in order, obtain the physical prototype of solidification-stack shaping of the present invention.
In the manufacturing process of the present invention, used liquid moulding material is any in water, liquid metal, Glucose Liquid, saline solution or the alcohol.
The present invention is based on the device of the solidification-stack shaping of solution, form by sweep mechanism, shaping environment, liquid-supplying system and workbench.Sweep mechanism is made of X, Y, Z moving cell, be positioned at shaping environment top, workbench places the shaping environment, liquid-supplying system comprises liquid feed device, feed pipe and shower nozzle, shower nozzle links to each other with liquid feed device by feed pipe, feed pipe is fixed on the sweep mechanism, and shower nozzle and physical prototype forming face keep the distance of 1~2mm.
Method of the present invention for the complicated shape moulding, adopts two shower nozzles, and one is used to spray the freezing point foreign material lower than moulding material and supports to make, and another shower nozzle spray formed material is on supporting.The back that has been shaped is being higher than the backing material freezing point temperature, is being lower than a temperature atmosphere of moulding material freezing point temperature, backing material is melted remove.Obtain solidification-stack prototype of the present invention.
The manufacturing process that the present invention proposes, solved the shortcoming that never overcomes in the precision-investment casting, that is: with wax, ABS or photosensitive resin prototype volumetric expansion when fusing disappears of material, usually ceramic shell is produced pressure, cause the shell distortion, leave residual stress, serious even make the shell cracking, influence the quality of foundry goods; And wax or ABS prototype easily stay residue when fusing disappears, and is difficult to clean out, simultaneously also contaminated environment.Solid (being referred to as the ice type) after employing water or other solution solidifies turns over ceramic mould as the master mold of precision-investment casting, because the ice type is volume contraction when heating up thawing, can not produce compression to ceramic shell, can not damage ceramic shell, water and solution can be removed by the mode of evaporation, so can obtain precision height, die cavity that surface smoothness is high, thereby produce high-precision part or mould, enhance productivity, present technique also is a kind of innovation to the low temperature precision-investment casting and expands to have broad prospect of application.
Secondly, reduce the cost of manufacture of RP prototype, as moulding material, because water cheapness, wide material sources are available anywhere, the restriction of not supplied need not any freight with water and solution, and this makes the whole service expense of low temperature ice type RP technique reduce.
In addition, provide some kinds of new rapid die-manufacturing methods.Except the precision-investment casting technology for quickly manufacturing models based on the ice type, also available ice type turns over the system silica gel type, combines mfg. moulding die or part with casting then.
The 4th, prototype is shaped and has maximum flexibility.Because the making of ice type directly drives the physics manufacture process in conjunction with RP technique (RapidProrotyping) by cad model, the combination degree height of CAD and CAM greatly shortens the time of making from the conceptual design to parts.Shaping theory based on discrete/accumulation principle is converted into the manufacture process of complex object the manufacturing and the cohesive process of the simple cell cube of orderly low-dimensional (line unit or dot element), its far reaching significance also is to have cancelled all specific purpose tools, prototype is shaped has maximum flexibility, when shape, when size need change, do not need with conventional fabrication processes like redesign, make frock and specific purpose tool, only need to change its
Technological parameter is adjusted and be provided with to cad model, can make the prototype parts that makes new advances.Adapt to the demand of modern society, saved the cost of making frock and specific purpose tool again in a large number personalization of product, small lot.
The 5th, this manufacturing process not only information process is digitized, the transfer process of material also is to be based upon the material of making on the basis with zero dimension dot element system to add up, and is the space digital forming on the complete meaning, has the be shaped forming accuracy of better adaptability and Geng Gao of complicated shape.
At last, the art of this patent operating cost is low, and suitable product turns to desk tops equipment, is used for 3 D-printing, the output physical model.For designer and subscriber checking configuration design.
