Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of additive manufacturing, in particular to a 3D printing head and a printing method for a continuous fiber reinforced resin composite material.
Background
The composite material is formed by compounding fibers and a resin matrix, and the fibers have the characteristics of high strength and high modulus, so that the composite material is widely applied to the fields of aviation, aerospace, vehicles, ships and the like. If the excellent mechanical properties of the fibers are introduced into the additive manufacturing technology of the resin matrix composite material, the continuous fiber reinforced resin matrix composite material printing workpiece is prepared, the mechanical properties of the printing workpiece are expected to be further improved, and the application field of the 3D printing workpiece is expanded.
In the existing printing process of the fiber reinforced resin matrix composite material, chopped fiber reinforced resin printing filaments are prepared by compounding chopped fibers and a resin matrix (such as PLA, ABS, PLGA and the like) through a screw extruder, then a composite material printing part is prepared by adopting a fuse deposition printing process, the mechanical property of the workpiece is improved to a certain extent by adopting the workpiece printed by the chopped fiber reinforced resin, but the melt viscosity of a blend of the fibers and the resin matrix is increased sharply along with the increase of the fiber content and the fiber length, so that the spinning blockage of a printer is easily caused, and the printing of the workpiece fails. There are some documents reporting additive manufacturing processes using long fiber reinforced PLA, nylon, ABS, etc. resins, but none of them cut the fibers during printing. The printing process without cutting fibers is only suitable for the printing workpiece with a single contour, and for the printing workpiece with multiple contours, redundant fibers are connected among the contours due to the fact that the fibers cannot be cut off, and the quality of the printing workpiece is poor. Recently, a method is disclosed in which a thermoplastic printing filament and a fiber bundle are fed into a heating head of an extruder together, thermoplastic resin is melted at a high temperature to infiltrate the fibers, and then a cutting knife is used to cut the continuous fibers, so as to realize printing of a continuous fiber reinforced composite workpiece. The thermoplastic resin has high melt viscosity and poor wetting ability to fibers, so that the fiber content in the fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite material is low, the interface bonding performance is poor, and the mechanical property is low. In addition, because the tow is comparatively soft, if directly adopt the tow to print, traditional thread feeding mechanism is easy to be buckled at the tow in-process of fibre transport, is difficult to carry the fibre to the region of formulating.
Therefore, the development of a simple, convenient and feasible continuous fiber reinforced composite printing process capable of cutting fibers is a key for expanding the application of the composite in various industrial fields.
