Definitions
- the invention relates to a device and a method for producing 3-D molded parts with at least one process unit, also suitable for large-scale production of 3-D molded parts such as foundry cores and molds and other articles that are required in large numbers.
- the European patent EP 0 431 924 B1 describes a method for producing three-dimensional objects from computer data.
- a thin layer of particulate material is applied to a platform by means of a recoater and this is selectively printed with a binder material by means of a print head.
- the particle area printed with the binder connects and solidifies under the influence of the binder and, if necessary, an additional hardener.
- the building platform is lowered by a layer thickness or the application / print head unit is raised and a new layer of particulate material is applied, which is also selectively printed as described above. These steps are repeated until the desired height of the object is reached.
- a three-dimensional object (molded part) is created from the printed and solidified areas.
- This object made of solidified particulate material is embedded in loose particulate material after its completion and is then freed from it. This is done, for example, by means of a suction device. Left over then the desired objects, which are then further cleaned of the residual powder, e.g. by brushing off.
- powder-based rapid prototyping processes such as e.g. selective laser sintering or electron beam sintering in which a loose particulate material is applied in layers and selectively solidified with the help of a controlled physical radiation source.
- the particulate material required for the entire layer is presented to a thin blade. This is then moved over the construction area and spreads out the material presented and smooths it in the process.
- Another type of layer application is the continuous application of a small volume of particulate material during the movement of the blade.
- the blade is usually attached to the underside of a movable silo.
- An adjustable gap is provided directly above or next to the blade, through which the particulate material can flow out of the silo. The outflow is stimulated by introducing vibrations into the silo blade system.
- the components are usually in a build container after printing. This building container usually represents a cuboid volume. This volume is loaded with the most varied of geometries in order to fully utilize the machine.
- State-of-the-art printers sometimes have construction containers that can be removed from the system and are also referred to as job boxes or construction containers. These serve as a limit for the powder and thus stabilize the building process. By changing the construction container, process steps can be parallelized and the system can thus be fully utilized.
- known 3D printers still have the disadvantage that considerable machine downtimes mean a suboptimal degree of utilization.
- 3D printing on the basis of powdery materials and the introduction of liquid binders is the fastest process among the layered construction techniques.
- This process can be used to process various particle materials, including - but not exhaustively - natural biological raw materials, polymer plastics, metals, ceramics and sands.
- the various parts of the system show different levels of wear.
- all conveying devices, blades, seals and lines in contact with the powder are subject to specific abrasion.
- This can mean that process-relevant devices such as a coater blade, the geometric shape of which is of great importance for the layer application result, have to be replaced at regular intervals so that one does not to anticipate a tolerable decrease in quality or even failure of the system part.
- the print heads usually have a large number of nozzles.
- the nozzles are usually located next to each other in a so-called nozzle plate.
- nozzle plate For 3D printing, it is usually tolerable if individual nozzles of a print head have failed. However, if the failure affects a large number of nozzles or if a plurality of nozzles that are directly next to each other are affected, it is necessary to replace the print head.
- the nozzles are the same distance from the construction field when printing the binder. If this is not the case, undesired deviations of the print image from the calculated layer image can occur. In order for the distance to remain the same, the print head must be moved parallel to the construction field level while the printing is being carried out and the nozzle plate must be parallel to the construction field level.
- the construction site level is determined by the coating blade in contact with the powder and its axis of travel.
- the spare parts and their receptacles must either be manufactured so precisely that the required parallelism is given again, or there must be devices on one of the two elements that allow adjustment to one another enable.
- the manufacturing accuracy of the parts is usually not sufficient to meet the specified accuracy requirements. For this reason, the replacement of one of the components requires the system to be switched off for the duration of the replacement and readjustment. Depending on the type of system, this can require several hours of system downtime. In addition, the work must be carried out on site by an experienced technician.
- the European patent application EP 2 214 889 A1 describes a device for a 3D printer which has a mounting platform on which all the traversing devices including the Z-axis are mounted.
- the advantage of such a procedure is the achievement of a high process accuracy through manufacturing accuracy combined with less adjustment effort.
- the required accuracy is obtained from device parts that are more difficult to machine, e.g. removed from the frame.
- this approach has no advantages, since replacing the mounting platform with all connections and assemblies is extremely complex.
- the presently described invention in accordance with the disclosure herein is not only new, but also inventive with respect to this prior art document.
- 3D printing machines cannot be integrated into series production because they require too long downtimes for maintenance work. It is therefore an object of the application to provide a device with which functional parts of a 3D printing machine, such as a coater, print head or radiation source, can be exchanged on the 3D printer in a short time.
- a 3D printing machine such as a coater, print head or radiation source
- Another object of the application is to provide a device with the aid of which an adjustment of the functional parts in the 3D printing machine can be avoided.
- Another task underlying the application is to provide a 3D printing machine that can be integrated into system lines and that is characterized by reduced downtimes for maintenance work or generally only requires short downtimes.
- the disclosure relates to an exchangeable functional unit suitable for a 3D printing process, comprising or consisting of at least two functional units, comprising at least one material application means for applying a particulate material and / or fluid and at least one means for selectively solidifying the applied material, and the optionally has further layer treatment agents, the functional units each being present single, double, triple or multiple, and the functional units being mechanically connected to one another directly or by means of a connecting means.
- the disclosure relates to a method for changing a functional unit in a 3D printing machine by extending and retracting a replaceable functional unit as described above.
- the disclosure relates to a 3D printing machine suitable for exchangeable functional units as described above.
- Figure 1a and 1b Representation of different types of exemplary interchangeable functional units according to the disclosure.
- FIG. 1 Schematic representation of the fastening
- Figure 3 Schematic representation of an operationally replaceable functional unit in its target position according to the disclosure.
- FIG. 4 A schematic representation of an insertion opening with closure means according to the disclosure.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 Schematic representation of the layer building process by means of various exchangeable functional units according to the disclosure.
- FIGS. 7-9 show the characteristics of the arrangement of the exchangeable functional unit on an axle bridge (gantry), already described above, by means of 4 combined receiving and securing means.
- FIGS. 10 to 12 show a further embodiment of the amount and arrangement of the receiving and securing means.
- FIGS. 13 and 14 show an embodiment of the invention in which the receiving means and securing means of the exchangeable functional unit are designed separately from one another. Detailed description of the disclosure
