Definitions

  • Another method of additive manufacturing includes preimpregnated (prepreg) composite construction where a part is made by cutting sheets of fabric impregnated with a resin binder into two-dimensional patterns. One or more of the individual sheets are then layered into a mold and heated to liquefy the binding resin and cure the final part.
  • Yet another method of (non-three-dimensional printing) composite construction is filament winding which uses strands of composite (containing hundreds to thousands of individual carbon strands for example) that are wound around a custom mandrel to form a part. Filament winding is typically limited to concave shapes due to the filaments “bridging” any convex shape due to the fibers being under tension and the surrounding higher geometry supporting the fibers so that they do not fall into the underlying space.
  • a method for manufacturing a part includes: feeding a void free core reinforced filament into an extrusion nozzle, wherein the core reinforced filament comprises a core and a matrix material surrounding the core; heating the core reinforced filament to a temperature greater than a melting temperature of the matrix material and less than a melting temperature of the core; and extruding the core reinforced filament to form the part.
  • a filament for use with a three dimensional printer includes a multifilament core and a matrix material surrounding the multifilament core.
  • the matrix material is substantially impregnated into the entire cross-section of the multifilament core, and the filament is substantially void free.
  • a method for manufacturing a part includes: feeding a filament into a heated extrusion nozzle; and cutting the filament at a location at or upstream from an outlet of the heated nozzle.
  • a three dimensional printer in another embodiment, includes a heated extrusion nozzle including a nozzle outlet and a feeding mechanism constructed and arranged to feed a filament into the heated extrusion nozzle.
  • the three dimensional printer also includes a cutting mechanism constructed and arranged to cut the filament at a location at, or upstream from, the heated nozzle outlet.
  • a heated extrusion nozzle in yet another embodiment, includes a nozzle inlet constructed and arranged to accept a filament and a nozzle outlet in fluid communication with the nozzle inlet.
  • a cross-sectional area of the nozzle outlet transverse to a path of the filament is larger than a cross-sectional area of the nozzle inlet transverse to the path of the filament.
  • a filament for use with a three dimensional printer includes a core including a plurality of separate segments extending in an axial direction of the filament and a matrix material surrounding the plurality of segments.

  • the inventors have recognized that one of the fundamental limitations associated with typical additive manufacturing methods is the strength and durability of the resulting part. For example, Fused Filament Fabrication results in a part exhibiting a lower strength than a comparable injection molded part. Without wishing to be bound by theory, this reduction in strength is due to weaker bonding between the adjoining strips of deposited material (as well as air pockets and voids) as compared to the continuous and substantially void free material formed, for example, during injection molding. The inventors have also recognized that the prepreg composite construction methods using a sheet-based approach to form a three dimensional part are both time consuming and difficult to handle resulting in higher expenses.
  • the inventors have noted that the prior art deposited materials are often difficult to load in the machine, and further difficult to feed through the print head, due to their extremely flexible, and usually high-friction (sticky) initial state. Further, these green materials tend to entrap air and include air voids. Thus, without a subsequent vacuum and heating step, the resultant part also contains voids, and is substantially weaker than a traditional composite part constructed under a vacuum. Therefore, the additional steps associated with preparing a towpreg slow down the printing process and result in the entrapment of ambient air.
  • the inventors Due to the limitations associated with typical three dimensional printing systems noted above, the inventors have recognized a need to improve the strength of three dimensional printed composites.

  • the filament will start to distort down-stream of the coextrusion die as occurs with typical filament manufacturing processes.
  • the inventors have recognized that this distortion is an artifact of cooling the extrusion without support which is somewhat akin to ejecting an injection molded part too soon which then warps when outside of the mold. Consequently, in some embodiments, a cooling tube 2312 and operatively coupled cooling element 2310 , such as a cooling jacket, are aligned with and support the extruded material.
  • Lubricating agents may advantageously be applied to the filament upon entry to the tube, or at points along a length of the tube.
  • the lubricating agents may either evaporate, or be washed off at the later time.
  • the lubricants may function to reduce the dragging friction of the core reinforced filament within the tube to substantially prevent, or at least reduce, “skipping” or surface roughness from dragging the filament through the cooling tube during cooling.
  • the cooling tube may be built with a series of different inner diameter “dies” to achieve a desired shape and size.
  • An output core reinforced material 2314 may exhibit cross sections similar to those depicted in FIGS. 49E-49F .

  • This outer coating 2326 is disposed on the internal portion 2324 .
  • the outer coating 2326 may be made from the same material, or a different material, as the matrix material 2306 in the internal portion. Therefore, the outer coating 2326 may be selected to provide a desired performance characteristics such as bonding to previously deposited layers, wear resistance, or any other number of desired properties. Additionally, in some embodiments, the outer coating 2326 provides a smooth, fiber-free outer diameter as shown in the cross-section is presented in FIGS. 49G-49I .

  • the inner and outer matrix materials may be any appropriate binder used in composites, including, but not limited to, thermoplastics, thermosets, resins, epoxies, ceramics, metals, waxes, and the like.
  • dispersing the individual fibers of the continuous core into a flattened shape may help to facilitate wetting/impregnation of the matrix material 2306 when it is introduced to the flattened continuous core element 2332 at the mixing point 2304 .
  • the continuous core element and matrix material may be subjected to a circuitous path and/or varying pressures to further facilitate impregnation of the matrix material.
  • the system may optionally include a set of rollers 2334 located downstream from the mixing point 2304 . The rollers 2334 may apply a force to the composite filament to further force the matrix material 2306 into the continuous core element 2300 .
  • FIG. 50E A cross-section of the resulting composite flattened tape 2336 is illustrated in FIG. 50E .
  • the resultant flattened composite tape 2336 is subsequently fed into a forming die 2338 .
  • This step can either be achieved with a heated forming die, that is heated to a sufficient temperature in order to reflow the material, or the forming die 2338 is located sufficiently close to the exit of the rollers 2334 such that the composite flattened tape is at a sufficient temperature to be formed when entering the die.
  • an optional cooling tube 2312 and an associated cooling element 2310 may be associated with the forming die 2338 in order to support a cross-section of the core reinforced filament 2314 as it cools, see FIGS. 50E-50G .
  • An outer coating may then be applied to the court reinforced filament to forming a coated core reinforced filament 2322 as described above.
  • composition of the aforementioned two polymer matrix binders used in the internal portion and outer coating of a composite filament may differ by one or more of the following factors: polymer molecular weight, polymer weight distribution, degree of branching, chemical structure of the polymer chain and polymer processing additives, such as plasticizers, melt viscosity modifiers, UV stabilizers, thermal stabilizers, optical brighteners, colorants, pigments or fillers.
  • Manufacturing of core reinforced filaments with two different binder compositions may be practiced in several different ways depending on which particular processing characteristic or the property of the finished part one desires to modify or control.
  • the polymer matrix of the interior portion may exhibit a higher melting point than the melting point of the polymer matrix in the outer coating. Consequently, the interior portion of the filament remains in a solid, or at least a semi-solid highly viscous state, when the external coating is applied.
  • the fibers contained within the continuous core will stay in place and the filament will retain its circular cross-sectional shape during application of the outer coating polymer matrix by co-extrusion while avoiding migration of the continuous fibers through the molten matrix of the interior portion of the filament to the outer coating of the filament during the co-extrusion step.
  • the polymer matrix material used for the interior portion of the filament should have not only low viscosity, but also exhibit improved interfacial wetting of the fiber surface. Without wishing to be bound by theory, this may be obtained by matching the surface energy of the imbibing polymer melt with the surface energy of the continuous fiber material.
  • the polymer matrix material used for the external coating may comprise a polymer with a higher melt viscosity than the interior matrix polymer.
  • the exterior polymer matrix material may also exhibit a lower melting point than the interior polymer.
  • the wetting properties of the outer coating matrix towards the continuous core is of lesser importance as the two should not in principle be in direct contact.
  • the surface energy can be controlled by a number of methods, including, but not limited to, varying the content and the type of the polar groups in the polymer backbone, the addition of surface active components to the melt, for example, surfactants, oils, inorganic fillers etc., exposing the fibers to electric gas discharge plasmas, chemical vapor deposition, ozone, or reactions with, or coating of, surface modifying compounds from solutions.
  • surface energy modifiers may also be used to strengthen the interlayer bonding of the filament as it is deposited by a three dimensional printer.
  • ozone may be deposited by the print head to promote adhesion of a new layer to an existing layer.
  • the build chamber may be filled with a sufficient proportion of ozone to activate the exposed surfaces.
  • the bond strength between the freshly extruded fiber-rich filament and the underlying layer may be improved by selectively directing a stream of air or another gas consisting of a sufficient concentration of ozone toward a small area adjacent to, and just ahead of, the deposition point of the freshly deposited filament surface.
  • Ozone readily reacts with the atomically thick surface layers of organic polymers to create a multitude of polar reactive surface groups, such as hydroxyl, ozonide, peroxide, hydroperoxide, aldehyde and carboxylic groups, which by their very reactive chemical and/or polar nature facilitate bonding of the surface layer to another material, such as ink, adhesive or another polymer binder.
  • a surface energy modifier is applied to the build platform to facilitate the adhesion of the extruded filament to said platform.
  • the noted adhesion modification is used to increase the adhesion of the first bonding layer to the build platform in a few key areas, such as the corners of a box, thereby causing greater adhesion where the part is most likely to peel up from the platform.
  • the center of the box may be substantially free of surface energy modifiers to facilitate easy removal.
  • timing and/or quantity of deposited ozone, vapor, or other surface energy modifier may be varied to obtain a desired level of adhesion.
  • a magnetic filler is loaded into the matrix material.
  • the magnetic filler may either be magnetically active, like iron or steel, or it may be magnetized as the disclosure is not so limited.
  • the magnetic filler could be used to form a three dimensionally printed actuation members.
  • the magnetic matrix particles could be used to magnetically stick a part to a printing table during printing, and then release at the conclusion of printing.
  • the magnetic material may either be integrated into a final part, or it may advantageously be integrated into a removable support material with similar matrix exhibiting properties similar to the remainder of the material.
  • the magnetically active filler particles enable measurement and detection of the material, or support structure, using x-rays or metallic sensors. For example, using a material including metallic powder in the support material, and not the model material, would enable easy detection of the removal of all the support material.
  • the magnetic material is added to a part, or all, of a part, to enable the detection of intricate features in x-ray detection, that would otherwise be invisible.
  • a continuous core such as continuous carbon fibers
  • semi-aromatic polyamides include blends of semi-aromatic and linear polyamides from EMS-Grivory, Domat/Ems, Switzerland, such as Grivory HT1, Grivory HT2, Grivory HT3 and other similar blends.
  • pre-treatments noted above are intended to facilitate full wetting of the core material, and wicking of the matrix material into the centers thereof.
  • Various types of pretreatments can include categories such as mechanical, rheology, and fiber-wetting pretreaments. The particular method(s) employed will depend on the matrix material chosen, and the core selected.
  • Appropriate mechanical pretreatments include, spreading the individual fibers of the core into a flattened ribbon-shaped towpreg by mechanical or pneumatic means before contacting with the resin or melt (i.e. dip coating).
  • a towpreg may pass through a melt in a chamber that is periodically evacuated to expand and remove air bubbles trapped between the fibers and to force the resin or melt into the interstitial space between the fibers when the vacuum is released.
  • periodic cycles of higher air pressure may improve the effectiveness of the process by changing the size of entrapped air bubbles and forcing the renewal of the air-fiber interface, thus, facilitating bubble migration.
  • a resin or polymer milk may be injected from one side of a continuous core such that it is injected through the continuous core as compared to simply surrounding it during a traditional coextrusion process. Should be understood that other mechanical pretreatments are also possible.
  • Appropriate rheological pretreatments of a continuous core include the use of a low viscosity or high melt flow index resins or polymer melts. Additionally, polymers exhibiting low molecular weights and/or linear chains may be used. Polymers exhibiting a sharp melting point transition with a large change in viscosity might also be used. Such a transition is a typical property exhibited by polyamides. Various features such as multiple port melt injection, angled channels, as well as fluted or spiral-groove extrusion channel surface “morphologies” may be used to induce higher melt turbulence and non-laminar melt flow which may result in enhanced impregnation of the matrix material. Melt viscosity modifiers and lubricants used to lower the effective melt viscosity and improve slip at the fiber surface might also be used.
  • Appropriate fiber wetting pretreatments may include precluding the fiber surfaces with a very thin layer of the same or similar polymer from a dilute polymer solution followed by solvent evaporation to obtain a like-to-like interaction between the melt and the fiber surface.
  • Polymer or resin solutions in neutral and compatible solvents can have concentrations from about 0.1 wt.-% to 1 wt.-% or higher.
  • one or more surface activation methods may be used to introduce or change the polarity of the fiber surface and/or to introduce chemically reactive surface groups that would affect wetting/impregnation (contact angle) and adhesion (matrix-fiber interfacial shear strength) by physically or chemically bonding the polymer matrix with the fiber surface.
  • suitable surface activation methods include, but are not limited to: atmospheric pressure surface oxidation in air; air enriched in oxygen, nitrogen oxides, or other reactive gases, such as halogenated, sulfur, silicon or other volatile compounds; as well as a high-voltage corona discharges (a method widely used in activating polyolefin film surfaces for printing).
  • Low-pressure plasma activation techniques in air, oxygen, or the other gases enumerated above may also be used to introduce reactive chemical surface groups with a chemical character defined by the process conditions (time, pressure, discharge energy (electrode bias voltage), residence time and the composition of the reactive gas.
  • the fiber surface may also be chemically activated using: activation methods in gas and liquid phase, such as silanization in the presence of hexamethyldisilizane (HMDS) vapors, especially at elevated temperatures; and solvent-phase surface modification using organosilicon or organotitanium adhesion promoters, such as tris(ethoxy)-3-aminopropylsilane, tris(ethoxy)glycidyl silane, tetraalkoxytitanates and the like.
  • activation methods in gas and liquid phase such as silanization in the presence of hexamethyldisilizane (HMDS) vapors, especially at elevated temperatures
  • organosilicon or organotitanium adhesion promoters such as tris(ethoxy)-3-aminopropylsilane, tris(ethoxy)glycidyl silane, tetraalkoxytitanates and the like.
