Description

熔融沉積成型裝置 Fused deposition molding device

本案係關於一種熔融沉積成型裝置,尤指一種具有電腦系統,且適用於熔融沉積成型機之熔融沉積成型裝置。 The present invention relates to a fused deposition molding apparatus, and more particularly to a fused deposition molding apparatus having a computer system and suitable for a fused deposition molding machine.

三維成型技術,亦稱為快速成型(Rapid Prototyping,RP)技術,因快速成型技術具有自動、直接及快速,可精確地將設計思想轉變為具有一定功能的原型或可製造直接使用的零件或成品,從而可對產品設計進行快速的評估,修改及功能試驗,大大縮短產品的開發週期,因而使得三維列印成型技術廣受青睞。 3D forming technology, also known as Rapid Prototyping (RP) technology, is fast, straightforward and fast, and can be used to accurately convert design ideas into functional prototypes or to make ready-to-use parts or finished products. Therefore, the product design can be quickly evaluated, modified and functionally tested, which greatly shortens the product development cycle, thus making 3D printing and molding technology widely favored.

然快速成型技術中,有一種熔融沉積成型(Fused Deposition Modeling,FDM)技術,其乃輸送成型材料透過加熱器對成型材料加熱成熔融液態,再由一擠出口擠出熔融液態成型材料而冷卻堆疊出三維成型物。此熔融沉積成型技術可以精確地構成非常複雜的產品,而且成型的過程中無需模具的輔助,更可以完成傳統工藝無法完成的一些特殊形狀產品,因此熔融沉積成型技術已被廣泛地運用在市面上的三維成型機構。 However, in the rapid prototyping technology, there is a Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technique in which a conveying molding material is heated by a heater to form a molten liquid through a heater, and then a molten liquid molding material is extruded from an extrusion port to cool the stack. A three-dimensional molded product. This fused deposition molding technology can accurately form very complicated products, and it does not require the assistance of molds in the molding process, and can also complete some special shape products that cannot be completed by conventional processes. Therefore, fused deposition molding technology has been widely used in the market. 3D molding mechanism.

一般來說,傳統的熔融沉積成型機須透過與外部電腦系統之連結,方可將所欲成型的三維成型物進行切層列印格式影像分析作業,再將該等分析後之影像資料輸入熔融沉積成型機中,以進行對應之三維列印成型作業,然此等作業需透過使用者於外部電腦系統端進行相關操作,且該外部電腦系統亦需設定熔融沉積成型機的相關驅動及運算程式,操作起來並不便利。 In general, a conventional fused deposition molding machine must be connected to an external computer system to perform a layered printing format image analysis operation on the three-dimensional shaped object to be formed, and then input the analyzed image data into the molten image. In the deposition molding machine, the corresponding three-dimensional printing operation is performed, and the operations are performed by the user on the external computer system end, and the external computer system also needs to set the relevant driving and calculation program of the fused deposition molding machine. It is not convenient to operate.

此外,在以熔融沉積成型技術進行三維列印成型作業時,當對輸入的成型材料進行加熱時,為了使成型材料形成熔融狀態,加熱器的溫度通常相當高,如此一來, 過高的溫度及熱能會使得加熱器周邊的組件亦隨之受影響而易產生損壞,故若無法有效對加熱器所產生的熱能進行散熱,則其周邊的組件及熔融沉積成型機的整體使用壽命均可能受限。 Further, in the three-dimensional printing operation by the fused deposition molding technique, when the input molding material is heated, the temperature of the heater is usually relatively high in order to form a molten state of the molding material, and thus, Excessive temperature and heat will cause the components around the heater to be affected and easily damaged. Therefore, if the heat generated by the heater cannot be effectively dissipated, the surrounding components and the fused deposition molding machine are used as a whole. Life expectancy may be limited.

有鑑於此,本發明提供一種熔融沉積成型裝置,其內具電腦系統可進行待列印之立體物件的相關切層運算,且更具有可耐受高溫的容器,且於容器中更具有複數個導熱、散熱結構,藉以輔助將加熱器所產生之熱能向外傳遞,以有效散熱,並可延長熔融沉積成型機之使用壽命。 In view of this, the present invention provides a fused deposition molding apparatus having a computer system capable of performing a relevant layering operation of a three-dimensional object to be printed, and having a container that can withstand high temperatures, and having a plurality of containers in the container. The heat conduction and heat dissipation structure assists in transferring the heat generated by the heater to the outside to effectively dissipate heat and prolong the service life of the fused deposition molding machine.
