TWI279193B - A manufacturing method for 3D food by rapid prototyping technology - Google Patents

Abstract

This innovation proposes a new manufacturing method for three-dimensional food in a very short time without mold. The key technology is to establish the figure or word character in a computer-aided design (CAD) software, e.g., CATIA, Pro/E, I-Deals, Solidwork, AutoCAD etc., or using the built-in figure and word in the window system. Then, the figure or word character is built into a three-dimensional model, and it is transformed into an *.stl format file. Finally, a RP machine is used to build the 3D food, and the final food product is finished. This technique promotes the food manufacturing method from 2D base to 3D base, which is an important and significant progress in the usage of the rapid prototyping technology.

Description

1279193 IX. Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention pertains] The present invention is a rapid prototyping (Rapid PlOt() typing main, combined with a three-dimensional model design with edible powder and edible glue = using three-dimensional printing technology ( 3D Printing), a three-dimensional shape food σ 浐 浐 production technology, for a combination of a variety of field technology for rapid production and use, phantom shape and shape, while also has an artistic or interesting three-dimensional joint ^ production technology. The development of the femoral sputum of the present invention utilizes a kind of integrated computer touch speed original display, which causes the virtual material of the memory area to be used for viewing and eating three-dimensional = —........·, 'Printing and forming Programs. " and hardware, through the spray technology to print the edible glue on the = edible powder ί material, will be stored in the computer to remember the virtual object image 2 printing process control: body • Complex = two-dimensional image after software operation, and then the glue „: layer is cemented, and then constructed into a single color or a color three-dimensional shape. [Prior Art] Knife cake, mostly in the shape of a woodcut dish The reprinting mold is disaccharide ^ It is made of plastic, however, because the food material is caught and pinched in the following aspects: Bu, size... In fact, it can be = straight j: two t ί is only a half-dimensional three-dimensional relief shape, if you want: The second speed and mass production are not enough, not only the 1279193 in the shortcomings of the second change. However, in view of the rapid progress of the times, human beings, and this basic expansion and renovation, therefore, "food must be color = and demand and continue The ground slowly transforms into the basic requirements of the food itself. The products have been replaced, and the satisfaction has become a traditional diet. The text has become a traditional food, and it has to be used in combination with versatility. Educate and care for each other, and pursue the goals pursued in the future. After the fine-grained coloring method, by ρίΐί;;;!:: The beautiful presentation of the wonderful, you need to help the professional and cost more At the same time, it is not economical and mass-produced, and clothing: (4) and the reduction is not allowed to be controlled and cannot be unified. Therefore, 22 kinds of foods, goods must be in line with the customer's taste and product i, the second two Outside of production, even in the appearance of food , Cha-H, innovation, must meet the requirements of customization, so it must be all conditions to attract consumers to buy f. In addition, more need for private production technology and strict control of production quality, Further reduce the cost and obtain higher profits from it. Therefore, how to use traditional food manufacturing technology: 'The new road and spring with the new technology to find the traditional food industry, has become a necessary condition for improving the competitiveness of the food industry in the future. In the past decade, due to the advancement of computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM), the '4 industry has developed a rapid separation method (Rapid Prototyping,

Rp), the report quickly created the original idea of the design. Rapid Prototyping (Rp) technology can not be limited by any shape, and the more complex object shape, the more the technical excellence can be expressed, while saving manpower and saving processing time, the object graphic on CAD will be presented at the time. In front of you, let you touch the 'feeling' of its geometric curve. There are many types of rapid release methods, such as 3-D printing, Stereolithography (SLA), Selectee Laser Sintering (SLS), and Stereo Plateau (SoIider Pr〇cess). , certificate) FuSed Dep〇sition Modeling (FDM), Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM), and so-called Office rP - Rapid Concept Molding Method (Rapid C〇nc Mo曰deler, RCM). Among them, Rapid Concept Molding (RCM) is the latest and most economical method. It can quickly improve the shortcomings of the designer's conception from the design and directly produce new models. This not only accelerates the development of the phased fish products, but also saves considerable development. ― If it is distinguished by the material of RP, it can be divided into solid (such as l〇m), liquid (such as SLS) and so on. However, various rapid prototyping methods, with the use of materials, are the fastest in the production of the adhesive powder method, and any three-dimensional shape can be formed without the external support. Therefore, our inventors have conceived that the appropriate food powder can be combined with edible water or edible oily liquid, and then RP printing technology can be used to directly and quickly produce any shape, various sizes and any shape-dimensional food. . And further see thousands of kinds of [Pui Lian and edible fine powder, as long as the appropriate conditions and ratio combination, as long as the Rp printing technology can quickly become a variety of three-dimensional foods in line with the shape requirements of the Chinese people, such a Come, = culture can add a lot of fun. In the case of the original appeal of the RP, the rapid prototyping, 1279193 concept, if it is more economical and safer and faster, the right food powder and glue can be used not only in the office or In every family, if you can use Rp machines for the production of food, and with the help of the future world in the design innovation and innovation, everyone can produce their favorite three-dimensional products, which has become a future trend. The popularization of design innovation will certainly promote food culture into science and art or higher fields. In view of this, in order to effectively solve the lack of three-dimensional sense of traditional food modeling and slow growth, and to promote the development of food culture and industry, we have combined food and RP rapid prototyping technology and research and development, and then there are At the same time, in the process of research and development, there have been a number of finished products that have been implemented and have industrial applicability. It is not [invention] Weiwei provides - rapid prototyping technology to produce three-dimensional housing ^ can quickly produce a variety of complex shapes of three-dimensional sigma ^ / ϋ eye μ吝; enhance * aesthetic and artistic value, and promote food mouth The function of the progressive nature of culture and related industries. In order to achieve the above objectives, we have invented the manufacturing method for producing three-dimensional foods, including the following % speed county technical students (1) to confirm the customer's demand for stereo and text content; (2) to turn the customer's demand into the computer (3) The colorization of the wall (4) will be the final _, the end and the view as the format of the cut; 'the blade layer is sent to the rapid prototype to prepare to start production; · The speed prototype is sent according to the layered software Information, drive spray 1279193 to quickly spray back and forth and make three-dimensional shape food; (7) Take the three-dimensional shape of the food product away from the rapid prototype and can be post-processed. According to the above, the manufacture of three-dimensional foods by rapid prototyping technology is: ί-t: The instant prototype is filled with edible food powder i, and the edible material is filled with edible glue. According to the above, the manufacturer of three-dimensional foods by rapid prototyping technology is produced.
