Description

3D Printer {3D Printer}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a 3D printer, and more particularly, to an FDM-type 3D printer for producing a three-dimensional shape by laminating molten filaments.

3D printers have evolved in a variety of ways since the early 1980s, when 3D Systems, Inc., first introduced a way to make three-dimensional shapes by solidifying plastic liquids. Nylon and metal materials have also been used as output materials for 3D printers at the initial stage, which is limited to plastic materials, and they are used as equipment for producing customized medical equipment with higher precision.

3D printers are largely divided into FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling), SLA (Stereolithography Apparatus), SLS (Selective Laser Simultaneous) and DLP (Direct Light Processing) according to the method of producing stereoscopic output.

Among the various 3D printing methods, the SLA scheme developed in 1986 by 3DSystems Inc. and the FDM scheme developed in 1989 by Stratasys Co. are most commonly used, Its structure is simple and low in price, and it is widely used for education and personal use.

The FDM method is a method in which plastic filaments such as PLA (Poly Lactacid) or ABS (Acryontrie Butadiene Styrene) are melted and laminated in a printer head. More specifically, the molten plastic filaments are stacked in layers of 0.01 to 0.08 mm thinner than paper to form a three-dimensional shape.

Generally, an FDM-type 3D printer includes a printer head for melting and discharging an output material, a bed on which discharged output materials are accumulated, and a driving unit for moving the printer head and the bed.

In a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, printing the output material by moving the printhead and bed along the x and y axes produces a two-dimensional output. Moving the printer head or bed in the z-axis in this state to print a new layer on top of the existing output produces a three-dimensional output with a height in the z-axis. It is the principle of printing of the above-mentioned FDM-type 3D printer that repeats the above-described operation to produce a desired three-dimensional shape.

The above-mentioned FDM-type 3D printer is a well-known technology in the past, and disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2009-0119904 entitled " Method of Generating 3D Objects Using Modified ABS Material "and Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2015-0089240 And "3D printer".

Typical FDM 3D printers connect the timing belt by pulling it tightly after the printer head, bed, and motor are installed. Therefore, the process of installing the timing belt is not easy. Further, there is a problem that the tension of the timing belt can not be precisely controlled.

Considering the fact that the FDM type printer is widely used for education and personal use in general, it is desirable to design the printer so that it can be easily assembled by the general public. Further, if the tension of the timing belt can be adjusted without disassembling the timing belt after the 3D printer is assembled, it is possible to correct the movement of the printer head by adjusting the tension of the timing belt, thereby improving the print quality.

Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2009-0119904 entitled " Method of Generating 3D Objects Using Modified ABS Material " Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2015-0089240 "3D Printer"

However, in the 3D printer of the present embodiment, the first and second tensioners 115 and 480 capable of adjusting the tension are provided, and as shown in FIGS. 8 to 11, the first and second tensioners 115, and 480 can be moved. Accordingly, it is not necessary to pull the x- and y-axis timing belts 520 and 620 by tension, and appropriate tension can be applied to the x- and y-axis timing belts 520 and 620. In addition, since the positions of the first and second tensioners 115 and 480 can be finely moved to adjust the strength of the tension, the print quality due to the difference in tension between the x- and y-axis timing belts 520 and 620 can be corrected.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing description of the present invention is for illustrative purposes only and that those of ordinary skill in the art can readily understand that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. will be.

It is therefore to be understood that the embodiments described above are intended to be illustrative, but not limiting, in all respects. For example, each component described as a single entity may be distributed and implemented, and components described as being distributed may also be implemented in a combined form.

The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description and all changes or modifications derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and the equivalents thereof are included in the scope of the present invention Should be interpreted.
