Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a molding apparatus and a method using a three-dimensional printer,

(X, Y, Z) data of a target object (molding object) calculated in advance in order to keep the size of a laser beam irradiated to a target object the same, (X, Y, Z) data of a target object (a modeling object) measured in real time through a laser beam module for controlling the size of the laser beam irradiated from the laser beam module for different positions according to position, (Z axis) direction, and controlling at least one of them to be performed first during the photocuring operation of the outer body (or inside) of the object, thereby improving the photo-curing speed and the photo-curing print quality.

Three-dimensional printers were developed to produce prototypes before delivering products. To see if there are any problems with the actual products, 3D printers were used to produce the same prototypes as actual products, instead of actual products, saving cost and time. Since we can identify the problem of the actual product, we started to use it in large companies and factories.

Such a three-dimensional printer converts a three-dimensional shape modeled through software such as a three-dimensional CAD system into slice data divided into a plurality of thin cross-sectional (two-dimensional plane) layers, forms a two- Thereby completing the molding.

The rapid prototyping method has been developed as a method of molding a sheet in the form of a plate.

Rapid prototyping methods include rapid prototyping using powder such as gypsum, nylon and metal, rapid prototyping using plastic liquid using photopolymer resin (resin), and molding using plastic have.

Among them, the rapid prototyping system using a plastic liquid irradiates light to a water tank containing a photo-hardening resin which hardens when irradiated with light, and the photo-curing resin, which is irradiated with light, hardens to form a thin plate- As a method of stacking, it can be broadly classified into a SLA (Stereo Lithography Apparatus) method and a DLP (Digital Light Processing) method according to a method of irradiating light.

The SLA system is irradiated with light on the surface of the photo-curable resin in a point-like manner, so that the molding speed is slow and it takes a relatively long time to complete the molding.

The DLP method irradiates the surface of the photocurable resin with light in a cross-sectional shape, so that the speed of shaping is fast. However, the larger the size of the molding, the lower the resolution and precision.

Conventionally, since the laser is scanned or irradiated with the same laser beam size regardless of the position of the object, the scanning time is determined according to the laser beam size

On the other hand, when the laser beam size is made small in order to improve the precision of the printing output, there is a problem that the output time is long.

Also, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, since the laser beam is irradiated on the plane (two-dimensional) through the lens, there occurs a problem that the deviation becomes as large as ΔZ toward the edge (outer side) .

Further, the present invention controls the laser part or the bed part in the up / down direction (Z-axis direction) based on the positional information so that the focal point size of the laser beam is constantly irradiated to the object so that the light- can do.

Also, the object in the present invention includes a sculpture formed by a three-dimensional printer.

Hereinafter, the concept of the present invention will be described with reference to the conventional drawings and the drawings of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a view showing that, when a laser beam is irradiated onto the outline position information among the position information of a target object, a deviation (? Z) 26 is generated based on the focal length of the laser beam, , FIG. 2 is a view showing that the focus is not constant but spreads outwardly based on the deviation (? Z) 26 generated in FIG. 1 because the actual photocured area is the plane 27. FIG.

Therefore, in the related art, the photocuring quality is poor due to the problems shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.

In order to solve the problems of FIGS. 1 and 2, FIGS. 3A and 3B illustrate a method of reducing the deviation (.DELTA.Z) 26 by increasing the focal distance at the outer periphery by using the dynamic focus lens and the moving lens, ≪ / RTI >

Hereinafter, the operation of the present invention will be described generally.

In adjusting the laser beam size according to the position information, it is preferable that each position information (X, Y, Z) slice the object in advance to obtain the position information value and store it in the memory unit.

In other words, it is a method of slicing a three-dimensional shape of a target object in two dimensions (a surface) and irradiating a laser beam only on a desired area as if the laser is focused on a two-dimensional surface of a sliced layer. The G-code is a file that transforms the laser beam into a coloring path on a two-dimensional plane. As a result, the three-dimensional shape is sliced in two dimensions, and the sliced image is converted into a file (G-code: a moving speed between respective position information and positions, etc.) in which a sequential moving path is moved by the laser. The converted file may be stored in the memory unit and operated. Alternatively, the computer may sequentially transmit the position information and the moving speed.

According to the present invention, the laser beam size is adjusted by the variable slit 55 for each position information, so that the outer circumference is photocured to a smaller laser beam size, and the inside including the center is adjusted to the size of the laser beam 50a to realize a high- Do.

Therefore, when curing the outer surface and the inside by laser, when the size of the laser beam inside is increased, the time for curing the whole is shortened and the time for producing the transparent correction device can be shortened.

In order to improve the quality of the surface of the molding, the laser beam size of the outer surface of the pattern is made smaller by laser scanning, and the inner photocuring is increased by increasing the laser beam size to increase the 3D printing speed by controlling the relative hardening speed. At this time, it is preferable to set the sizes of the laser beams to be different from each other in correspondence with the respective position information.

There are two methods for adjusting the size of the laser beam.

1. It is also possible to make a desired size by using a circular variable slit or a rectangular variable slit 55. In this case, since the thickness of the slit becomes large, light scattering occurs many times, so that scattered light can be blocked by using a double slit.

2. Pre-processed slits can be arranged in a circular shape or slit shape can be coated on a plate that transmits ultraviolet rays and visible rays, and the size of the module can be adjusted while rotating.

When adjusting the laser beam size (when irradiating the inside and the outside), first adjust the slit according to the desired size and scan the laser beam with the galvanometer 60.

The galvanometer 60 is a module for irradiating a desired region while rotating two mirrors in the X and Y directions. A typical laser beam path is a laser -> (laser beam expansion optic: optional) variable slit (55) -> galvanometer (60) -> F-theta lens (optional available) -> bed (20).

It is desirable to adjust the inner light curing and outer light curing order and speed by increasing the outermost quality. In addition, the photocuring of the interior will be large in terms of the bone interval (the hardening line and the hardening line spacing) from the viewpoint of the surface when the laser beam size is broadly investigated. Therefore, the laser beam is irradiated while moving while reducing the moving distance at a small interval by reducing the size of the laser beam. Therefore, the outermost surface can be smoothed.

In order to solve the above problem, it is possible to make an algorithm to generate G-code and to make different outer and inner light paths. Later on the outer surface may make the surface smoother.

Generally, when the irradiation area is large, the deviation (? Z) 26 is generated in the image plane of the focal plane as shown in FIG. 1, and the dimensional accuracy of the manufactured shape is lowered. The deviation (? Z) 26 can be eliminated by causing the bundle of laser beams focused by the telecentric f-theta lens to converge perpendicularly to the irradiation area, but the larger the diameter of the lens is, the larger the diameter becomes Price increases.

In addition, instead of adjusting the position of the focus by moving the lens linearly in the optical path of the laser by adopting the dynamic focus lens, the height value of the head calculated in advance so as to be located on the 3-axis autofocus surface, You can also adjust the focal plane automatically by moving up and down.

Meanwhile, the present invention is a method for realizing a high-speed three-dimensional printer by controlling the laser beam size by a variable slit according to position information, photo-curing the outer portion to a small laser beam size, and adjusting the laser beam size inside, When the inside is laser cured, the size of the laser beam inside is increased, and the curing time is shortened.

In order to improve the quality of the outer surface, the outer surface of the pattern can be increased by increasing the laser beam size, laser scanning and photocuring, and photo curing by increasing the laser beam size, thereby controlling the relative curing speed. The method of enhancing the outermost quality is to increase the surface quality of the printout by adjusting the internal photocuring and external photocuring sequence and speed.

It is possible to control the focal plane by moving the head height automatically calculated so as to be positioned on the 3-axis auto-focus plane, automatically when the laser is scanned. In addition, when the laser is fixed and the mirror is rotated in the X-axis direction, the laser beam focal length difference occurs between the inside and the outside of the molding. In order to adjust the distance of the optical focal length, it is necessary to move the Z axis by the optical focal length difference to compensate the distance.

Therefore, when the outer surface and inside of the sculpture are photolyzed by laser, when the size of the laser beam inside is increased by curing with the same laser beam size, the time for curing the whole is shortened and the time for producing the sculpture is shortened.

In order to improve the surface quality of the sculpture, the outer surface of the pattern can be cured by setting the size of the laser beam to be small so that the laser beam is cured by laser scanning. That is, it is possible to shorten the laser scanning time and / or improve and adjust the surface quality.
