EPS is usually formed by a two-step method, namely EPS particles are prepared for pre-foaming, and then the pre-foamed particles are pumped into a forming die for heating and forming, so that a packaging liner is formed; the EPE is formed by extruding and foaming low-density polyethylene (LDPE) together with auxiliary materials of talcum powder, monoglyceride and liquefied butane gas, generally, a sheet with the thickness of about 10mm is obtained through extrusion foaming, then multilayer compounding, die cutting and bonding are carried out, finally, a packaging liner is formed, and a die cutting plate is required to be manufactured during the process of die cutting of the sheet. Both of these materials are conventional molding processes, each having advantages and disadvantages, but both are difficult to directly form into cushioning packaging structures without molds or die-cut plates.
3D Printing (3 DP) is currently the most popular rapid prototyping technology, which builds objects by layer-by-layer Printing using bondable materials such as powdered metals or plastics based on digital model files. In the 3D printing process, FDM (fused deposition modeling) is the most common three-dimensional printing and molding process with the lowest price, a prefabricated continuous filamentous material is heated and melted in a spray head, the spray head moves according to a set track, and the melted and extruded material is bonded and solidified with surrounding materials to form a 3D printing model. Common FDM printing materials are ABS and PLA, the printing materials are solid structures, and no report that 3D printing is directly carried out by adopting a foam porous material is found.

This patent name is 3D prints, actually need carry on spacingly to printing the boundary through the packing box printing in-process, still need again through machining after the completion just can form the packing and fill the structure, and non-real 3D prints.
The invention patent (CN 103692653B, 201310719206.5, melt differential three-dimensional printer 2015.08.26) discloses a device for directly melting and printing plastic granules, and realizes quantitative and intermittent melt droplet injection precise accumulation by combining a micro-injection molding machine plasticizing device and a needle valve type hot runner device. The device has avoided FDM printing technology to need the step of prefabricated filiform material in advance, can directly carry out printing material's formula adjustment in the micro-injection molding machine plasticator, has improved printing material formula and has improved the efficiency that reliability was verified, has reduced the heating and melting silk making process of printing material simultaneously, has avoided the material ageing and the degradation that silk making heating and melting leads to. But the device cannot realize 3D printing on the plastic foam material.
In conclusion, the application and rapid molding of the plastic foam material cannot be directly performed by the existing 3D printing technology, and the application and rapid molding can be completed by adopting processes such as carving, pasting and the like when the foam material model is manufactured, so that the rapid verification of the packaging model is limited.

The cleaning process is as follows: the system controls a servo motor device (59) arranged at the end part of an extrusion sleeve (52) to work, a motor C (72) drives a cam A (73) and a cam B (74) to work, the main shaft of the motor C (72) rotates, the cam A (73) with a groove-shaped structure drives a cam ejector rod (79) arranged on a fixed plate (78) to move up and down once, and when the cam ejector rod (79) moves down, a supporting rod (82) and a cutting device (83) move down under the driving of a connecting rod (80), so that the cutting operation can be carried out; meanwhile, when the cutting device (83) moves to the bottommost part, the cam B (74) tensions the pull wire (84) to close the scissors structure of the cutting device (83), so that the cutting of the EPE yarns is completed; the motor C (72) continues to rotate, the cutting device (83) is reset under the action of the spring B (85), and the supporting rod (82) is reset under the action of the spring A (81). The entire severing process is completed before a new printing point begins.
In order to ensure that the EPE and the printing table top (40) have good adhesive property when the first layer is printed, a POE film is attached to the printing table top (40) before printing each time.
The above embodiments are only embodiments of the 3D printing method and apparatus for a double-layer co-extrusion foaming material in the present invention, and not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and all changes in equivalent structures or equivalent processes performed by using the contents of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are included in the scope of the present invention.
