The irregular surface rapid prototyping machine is a device used for manufacturing complex geometric parts, which constructs three-dimensional objects by adding materials layer by layer. This type of machine is applied in fields such as aerospace, automotive manufacturing, medical equipment, consumer electronics, etc., and can quickly and accurately manufacture irregular curved structures that are difficult to achieve with traditional processing methods.
1. Core technical principles
Additive Manufacturing Technology: The irregular surface rapid prototyping machine is based on the principle of additive manufacturing (AM), which constructs three-dimensional objects by depositing materials layer by layer. Common additive manufacturing technologies include:
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM): Forming an object by heating and extruding thermoplastic material layer by layer.
Stereoscopic Lithography (SLA): Using ultraviolet laser to cure liquid photosensitive resin layer by layer to form an object.
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS): Using laser sintering of powder materials (such as nylon, metal) to form a solid layer by layer.
Multi jet melting (MJF): Combining powder materials and adhesives to construct objects layer by layer through heating and bonding.
2. Computer aided design (CAD): Users first use CAD software to design a 3D model, and then import the model file into the control system of the rapid prototyping machine.
3. Slice processing: The control system divides the 3D model into multiple 2D slice layers, generating machine recognizable processing paths.
4. Material deposition and solidification: Based on the selected technology, the machine deposits or solidifies the material layer by layer to form a complete three-dimensional object.
