Description

Device and method for continuous 3D printing by ultrasonic atomization coating
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of 3D printing, and particularly relates to a device and a method for continuous 3D printing by using an ultrasonic atomization coating.
Background
The existing photo-curing 3D printers can be divided into: doctor blade type and release type.
1. Scraper type: a photosensitive resin thin layer with controllable thickness is formed above a printing platform or a device being printed by adopting a scraper, a patterned light path is obtained by adopting DLP, LCOS, LCD and the like, the patterned light path is directly irradiated on the photosensitive resin thin layer for curing, the platform descends by one layer after the photosensitive resin thin layer is cured, the scraper scrapes the photosensitive resin to form a new layer thickness, and the 3D model is finally obtained after the layer-by-layer curing.
2. Release type: a light-transmitting release device (fluorine-containing film, fluorine-containing film stuck on glass and the like) with good release effect is adopted, a photosensitive resin thin layer with controllable thickness is formed in the middle of a printing platform or a device being printed, then a patterned light path is obtained by adopting DLP, LCOS, LCD and the like, the photosensitive resin thin layer is irradiated to be cured through the release device, after one layer is cured, the platform descends for one layer thickness, the printing platform ascends, the photosensitive resin forms a new layer thickness, and the photosensitive resin is cured layer by layer, so that the 3D model is finally obtained.
The current drawbacks are the following 3 points:
1. the efficiency is low: currently, existing photocuring 3D printing devices, whether in a doctor blade type or a release type, need to coat a layer of liquid and then expose the liquid, wherein the coating layer and the exposure are performed at intervals, and the coating layer is long in time, so that the printing efficiency is low.
2. The layering is obvious: since release and exposure curing are needed, each layer is not continuous in curing, so that the printed sample piece has obvious layering.
3. The microstructure cannot be printed: when printing microstructures, such as arrays of bars of pixel-level diameter, the release force or doctor blade movement can damage the microstructure, resulting in failure of the printed microstructure.
