Description

Ink-jet 3D printing modeling and compensating method and closed-loop printing system
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of inkjet printing micro-manufacturing, and particularly relates to an inkjet 3D printing modeling and compensating method and a closed-loop printing system.
Background
Inkjet 3D printing ejects a photocurable material in the form of tiny droplets through a nozzle and builds a three-dimensional object by layer-by-layer curing. Inkjet 3D printing enables the formation of complex patterns and enables high precision, high resolution deposition of multiple materials. At present, the technology is applied to the fields of printed electronics and the like. In this field, it is generally used for producing sensors, antennas, circuit boards and the like. Many electronic devices, such as microstrip patch antennas, have a significant impact on their electrical performance due to surface topography. However, during printing, the deposition surface characteristics cause the drop spreading topography to change. After the layers are stacked layer by layer, the effect is amplified continuously, the problem that the surface of a printed part is uneven is particularly obvious, and the electrical property of an electronic device is influenced finally. However, conventional inkjet 3D printing typically operates in an open-loop manner, i.e., the drop pattern printed per layer is predetermined and not adjusted according to the results of feedback measurements ([ 1 ]) y.guo, j.pets, t.oomen, and s.mishra, "Control-oriented models for ink-jet 3D printing," mechanics, vol.56, pp.211-219, may 2018.). This printing method can subject the printing process to some uncertainty: such as uncertainty of position, shape and size of the liquid drops, and flowing and fusion of the liquid drops in the printing process, the printed parts may have defects, such as uneven printed surface, which further affects the performance of the printing device, so that the quality and stability of the printed sample are not high, and the improvement of the performance of the three-dimensional printing functional part is severely restricted. Therefore, a proper model needs to be established for the inkjet 3D printing process, feedback measurement results are incorporated into a control algorithm, and closed-loop control is performed on the existing printing process to further improve the printing quality and the stability of the printing system. Conventional finite element models ([ 2] radial Comminal, marcin P.Serdczny, david B.Pedersen, and Jon spangenberg.Numerical modeling of the strand and deposition flow in excess of the strand and deposition flow in addition to the additive Manufacturing, 20; the existing other process models assume that the shape of each layer of deposited liquid drop is fixed and unchanged, the difference of spreading contact angles of the liquid drop caused by different shapes of the deposited surfaces is ignored, and the model precision is to be further improved.
In summary, the problems of the prior art are as follows: traditional inkjet 3D prints and runs with the mode of ring-opening, prints the figure and does not carry out dynamic adjustment according to the measuring result, influences the surface quality who prints the device greatly, and then influences electronic device's electrical property.

step five, transmitting the printing pattern determined in the step four to an ink-jet 3D printer, and printing the next layer according to the pattern;

The invention has the advantages and positive effects that:
1. a new highly-evolved model is provided for modeling in the existing ink-jet 3D printing process, and the accuracy of the model for predicting the deposition morphology is effectively improved. Because the existing models all adopt the ideal assumption of droplet consistency, the shape difference of droplets caused by different deposition surface morphologies is not considered, and the model precision is to be further improved. The invention obtains the quantitative relation between the roughness of the deposition surface and the spreading contact angle of the liquid drop through the liquid drop deposition experiment, and effectively improves the precision of the model by dynamically changing the shape of the deposition liquid drop along with the difference of the number of printing layers in the height evolution model.
2. A closed-loop printing method is provided aiming at an open-loop printing mode of traditional ink-jet 3D printing. Because the open-loop printing mode is characterized in that the drop patterns printed on each layer are predetermined, the adjustment is not carried out according to the feedback measurement result. This printing method can cause the printing process to be influenced by some uncertain factors: such as uncertainty of position, shape and size of the droplets, and flow, fusion and the like of the droplets during printing, which may result in defects of the printed part, such as unevenness of the printed surface, and the like, and further affect the performance of the printing device. The surface appearance measuring device is introduced into the traditional printing system, and the subsequent printing graph is dynamically adjusted according to the measuring result and the model prediction result to form a closed loop of the printing process, so that the surface quality of the printing sample piece is effectively improved.
3. The invention obviously improves the surface quality and the electrical property of the formed ink-jet 3D printing electronic device. The conventional open-loop printing mode formed sample piece has poor surface quality, high surface roughness and large peak-to-peak value of a measured profile, and the defects can reduce the conductivity of a conductive pattern and further influence the electrical property of a functional device. The model established by the invention can predict the defects and further compensate, thereby effectively improving the surface quality of the molded sample piece and improving the quality of the printed sample piece.
