What Are The Materials Of The 3D Printer? Summary Of The Materials Of The 3D Printer

3D printing is usually realized by digital technology material printer. It is often used in mold manufacturing, industrial design and other fields to manufacture models, and then gradually used in the direct manufacturing of some products. There are already parts printed with this technology. The technology has been applied in jewelry, footwear, industrial design, architecture, engineering and construction (AEC), automotive, aerospace, dental and medical industries, education, geographic information systems, civil engineering, firearms and other fields. Next, we will introduce the materials of the 3D printer

1, Principle and technology of 3d printing

Ordinary printers used in daily life can print plane objects designed by computers. The so-called 3D printers work in the same way as ordinary printers, but the printing materials are somewhat different. The printing materials of ordinary printers are ink and paper, while the 3D printers contain different "printing materials" such as metal, ceramics, plastic, sand, which are real raw materials. After the printers are connected with computers, Through computer control, "printing materials" can be stacked layer by layer, and finally the blueprint on the computer can be turned into real objects. Generally speaking, a 3D printer is a device that can "print" real 3D objects, such as a robot, a toy car, various models, even food, etc. The reason why it is popularly called "printer" refers to the technical principles of ordinary printers, because the layered processing process is very similar to inkjet printing. This printing technology is called 3D stereo printing technology.

2, What are the materials of the 3D printer

3D printing was born in the United States in the 1980s. Its scientific name is "additive manufacturing". It is a manufacturing method of one-time melting and forming of materials, contrary to the traditional "material reduction manufacturing" method of cutting raw materials.

"Like the building process, 3D printing starts from the foundation, and finally forms a complete three-dimensional object through the superposition of printing materials." Shi Yusheng, a professor at the School of Materials Science and Engineering of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, said that, in theory, plastic, metal, ceramics, sand and other materials can be used as "ink" for printing after being made into powder.

3D printing was also praised by The Economist as "promoting the third industrial revolution together with other digital production models".

So, why has this technology existed for many years, and only recently has it gained wide attention? One of the important factors is the innovation of material technology.

It is understood that China began to research and develop additive manufacturing technology in the 1990s. At present, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Beijing Longyuan Company and other universities, research institutions and enterprises have made outstanding research achievements. They have developed additive manufacturing equipment and materials of light curing, metal deposition, ceramic forming, laser sintering, metal sintering, biological manufacturing and other types.
