Description
The present invention relates to a three-dimensional laser sintering printer apparatus, and more particularly, to a three-dimensional laser sintering printer apparatus capable of easily collecting powder dispersed in a region deviating from a work surface, thereby improving the ease of collection and reducing the waste of the powder. And a printer device.
In the field of three-dimensional molding, a method of completing the molding of a three-dimensional molding while layering a material by using three-dimensional sectional shape data of the three-dimensional molding is widely used. Examples of the three-dimensional molding system to which such a three-dimensional molding method is applied are 3DP (Three Dimensional Printing) system, SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) system and SLA (Stereo Lithography Apparatus) system.
First, in a 3DP (Three Dimensional Printing) system, the powder material contained in the material accommodating chamber is supplied stepwise by the material thickness of the three-dimensional molding to the molding table of the molding chamber by the material supply roller (or braid). Then, the printing head, which is a material hardening device, moves in correspondence with the coordinates of the three-dimensional cross-sectional data, and injects an adhesive material onto the powder material in the area corresponding to each cross-section to laminate the cross-sectional shapes. However, in the 3D molding system of the 3DP method, since the curing apparatus for curing the powder material uses the adhesive material injection method by the printing head, it is difficult to precisely control the injection region of the adhesive material, It has a disadvantage that it is difficult to mold the molding.
Next, as in the 3DP system, the SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) system supplies the powder material stored in the material accommodating chamber to the shaping table of the shaping chamber step by step as much as the thickness of the section forming the three-dimensional molding. However, unlike the 3DP system, Is provided in a laser system. In this laser type curing apparatus, after a laser beam generated from a laser generator is amplified by a beam amplifier through a reflection mirror, the irradiation direction and the focus position are controlled in a galvanometer controlled by itself, The powder material in the region corresponding to each cross section of the three-dimensional molding is cured and sectioned.
Meanwhile, in a SLA (Stereo Lithography Apparatus) system, a laser is irradiated to a liquid surface of a photo-curable resin distributed on a top surface of a molding table accommodated in a molding chamber to cure a region corresponding to three- It forms. Here, the configuration of the laser curing apparatus of the SLA system may have a configuration such as a laser generator, a reflection mirror, a beam amplifier, and a galvanometer, in the same manner as the curing apparatus of the SLS system.
However, the above-described SLS system and SLA system have a disadvantage in that it is very difficult to form fine precise three-dimensional molding, especially, nanoscale three-dimensional molding. However, in order to minimize the focus change of the laser beam and to cure the material at a relatively high speed, the irradiation region of the laser beam is divided in the three-dimensional cross-sectional data, and then the multi-laser curing However, this requires expensive laser devices, which leads to a problem of significantly increasing the production cost of a three-dimensional molding system.
Further, in the conventional SLS system, when the powder material accommodated in the material accommodating chamber is supplied to the shaping table of the shaping chamber by the blade or roller, most of the powder material moves to the shaping table, but some of the powder material moves to the shaping table There is a problem that it is considerably cumbersome and difficult to collect after the modeling of the molding is completed after being pushed to the edge.
