Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a 3D printer, and more particularly, to a photo-curing 3D printer that smoothes resin and bubble flow and drop-out during the printing of a molding.
Three-dimensional printers were developed to produce prototypes before delivering products. To see if there are any problems with the actual products, 3D printers were used to produce the same prototypes as actual products, instead of actual products, saving cost and time. Since we can identify the problem of the actual product, we started to use it in large companies and factories.
In such a three-dimensional printer, a three-dimensional shape modeled through software such as a CAD system is converted into slice data divided into a plurality of thin cross-sectional layers, and then a plate-like sheet is formed by using the sliced data. The rapid prototyping method has been developed as a method of molding a sheet in the form of a plate.
Such rapid prototyping methods include a rapid prototyping method using powder using gypsum or nylon powder, a rapid prototyping method using a plastic liquid using a liquid (resin) dissolving a photo-curable plastic, a method of using a solid It can be divided into a rapid prototyping method using a plastic thread.
Among them, the rapid prototyping method using a plastic liquid is a method in which light is irradiated to a water tank containing a photo-curing resin, and a photo-curable resin to which light is irradiated is hardened according to the shape of the light to produce a thin plate- There is a liquid surface method and a free liquid surface method.
In the regulating liquid surface method, light is irradiated from the bottom of the water tank having a bottom surface formed of a transparent plate, and the bed is placed in the water tank to cure the resin in the water tank. Then, a resin-coated cured product is laminated by transferring upwardly the cured resin-coated bed. In the case of the regulating liquid surface method, when the size of the molding is large or the shape is not monotonous, the bed is squeezed as the bed is conveyed upward, so that a supporting stand capable of supporting the molding should be formed. And there is a problem that much care is required when removing the support.
2 is a view showing a structure of a hinge and a tilting driving apparatus for tilting in the 3D printer of FIG. 1, and FIG. 2 is a view showing the structure of a hinge and tilting driving apparatus for tilting in the 3D printer of FIG. 1, 3 is a view showing a structure of a planar output plate used for attaching an output in the 3D printer of Fig.
As shown in Fig. 1, a conventional regulated liquid surface type light-curing 3D printer has a structure in which light is irradiated from a lower portion of a water tank having a bottom surface formed of a transparent plate, the bed is placed in a water tank, And a laminate is formed by forming a resin cured product while transferring the bed with the cured resin cured product upward. Then, in order to release the molding from the bed, the transparent plate is tilted to release the molding.
As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, in order to tilt the plate to easily release the molding after the completion of printing, either side of the plate connects the hinge to the fixed support, In order to tilt the other side of the plate, the shaft of the linear motor is fixed in the vertical direction, and the linear motor is driven to vertically up and down to tilt the plate.
However, the conventional tilting structure of the regulated liquid surface type photocurable 3D printer uses a screw-type shaft-integrated linear DC motor. However, there is a problem that the DC motor needs to be replaced with a DC motor when the component is worn. There is a problem that control is limited.
In addition, in a state where the motor body is fixed, the screw shaft is moved vertically up and down to tilt the plate fixed to the shaft. It is difficult for the linear DC motor shaft to accurately convey and control the distance in the form of a spiral triangular thread, There is a problem that this is expensive.
2 (a), the plate-fixed hinge portion is often used as a general hinge, so that a general hinge has to be simple in structure and low in price, And it is vulnerable to wear when it is not used for a long time.
In addition, a planar output plate is used for attaching an output in a photo-curable 3D printer. As shown in Fig. 3, there is a problem that a sculpture, which is an output of a photo-curable 3D printer, frequently drops in the output plate. This is disadvantageous in that the flow of resin (solution) between the output plate and the release tanks is not smooth during the tilting operation, so that the bubbles formed in the tiles are not removed, adversely affecting the output molding.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a photo-curing 3D printer which smoothes out resin and bubble flow and ejection during printing of a sculpture through an output plate processed in an inverted 'E' .
