一般的3D打印机均采用打印头逐层打印,首先通过计算机建模,生成三维模型切片和逐层的截面信息,打印机读取上述信息并用液体状、粉末状或片状的材料将这些截面信息逐层打印出来,各层截面间以各种方式粘合起来形成打印物品。然而,每层打印层之间的粘连度和粉末粒子之间的间隙会影响成型后打印物品表面的粗糙度和强度,粉末粒子之间的空隙过大会造成收缩变形甚至开裂等严重后果。General 3D printers use printhead layer-by-layer printing. First, computer modeling is used to generate 3D model slices and layer-by-layer cross-section information. The printer reads the above information and uses the liquid, powder or sheet material to make the cross-section information. The layers are printed and the layers are bonded together in various ways to form a printed article. However, the degree of adhesion between each printed layer and the gap between the powder particles may affect the roughness and strength of the surface of the printed article after molding, and the excessive voids between the powder particles may cause serious consequences such as shrinkage deformation or even cracking.
