呈如背景技术中所述,传统的织物都是纤维经过一定的编织工艺制备而成。例如,通过纤维纺成纱线,再由织机编织制形成面料的织物结构。这种传统织物结构的密度均匀,且受到工艺限制无法对外观和结构进行自由设计。As described in the background art, traditional fabrics are prepared from fibers through a certain weaving process. For example, fibers are spun into yarns, which are then woven by looms to form fabric structures. The density of this traditional fabric structure is uniform, and the appearance and structure cannot be freely designed due to technological limitations.
在一些应用场景中,相关业者利用3D打印技术在现有织物上打印图案以实现一些个性化需求,但其仍因受到设计工具、打印方法等各种因素的限制,无法对织物的本体结构进行打印,故仍然无法满足织物设计上的多元化需求。In some application scenarios, the relevant industry uses 3D printing technology to print patterns on existing fabrics to achieve some personalized needs, but it is still limited by various factors such as design tools and printing methods, and it is impossible to carry out the main structure of the fabric. Printing, so it is still unable to meet the diversified needs of fabric design.
在另一些应用场景中,已有相关业者利用3D打印技术,例如熔融堆积成型(Fused Deposition Modeling,简称FDM)打印技术,打印形成某种类织物,但因打印材料及打印方式等因素的限制,形成的类织物存在重量较大、表面粗糙等问题。为了解决基于FDM技术打印的构件表面印物件的表面粗糙问题,例如层纹。一般的后处理方法有机械打磨抛光和化学药剂蒸汽抛光的方法。机械打磨抛光对打印构件的基体树脂没有要求,但需要人工操作,劳动强度大,耗费时间长,而且有时会破坏打印构件的完整性,成功率低。而化学试剂一般对人体有一定毒性,对环境会造成污染并且试剂不易购买。In other application scenarios, some relevant manufacturers have used 3D printing technology, such as Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) printing technology, to print a certain type of fabric, but due to the limitations of printing materials and printing methods, the formation of Such fabrics have problems such as heavy weight and rough surface. In order to solve the surface roughness problem of the printed parts on the surface of components printed by FDM technology, such as layering. The general post-processing methods include mechanical polishing and chemical vapor polishing. Mechanical grinding and polishing does not require the matrix resin of the printed component, but requires manual operation, which is labor-intensive, takes a long time, and sometimes destroys the integrity of the printed component, resulting in a low success rate. The chemical reagents are generally toxic to the human body, cause pollution to the environment, and the reagents are not easy to buy.
FDM打印技术有时也会被称为熔丝制造(Fused Filament Fabrication,简称FFF)是热塑 性聚合物最常用的3D打印技术之一。虽然存在一些不同的形式,但该技术一般使用连续的热塑性聚合物线材或线粒,通过将其送入加热喷嘴,使其熔融形成粘性熔体并通过喷嘴持续挤出。同时,喷嘴或挤出机组件在步进电机和计算机辅助制造软件(Computer Aided Manufacturing,简称CAM)的精确控制下进行三维运动来构建物件。物件的第一层通常直接打印在某一打印基板上,后续的打印层不断叠加,并通过降温凝固融合(或部分融合)到前一层。该过程一直持续到打印构件完全构造好为止。FDM printing technology, also sometimes referred to as Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), is one of the most commonly used 3D printing technologies for thermoplastic polymers. Although a few different forms exist, this technology generally uses a continuous strand or strand of thermoplastic polymer by feeding it into a heated nozzle where it is melted to form a viscous melt and continuously extruded through the nozzle. At the same time, the nozzle or extruder assembly moves in three dimensions under the precise control of stepper motors and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software to build the object. The first layer of the object is usually printed directly on a certain printing substrate, and the subsequent printing layers are continuously superimposed and fused (or partially fused) to the previous layer by cooling and solidification. This process continues until the print component is fully constructed.
FDM打印技术在建筑、艺术、工业设计、玩具等模型制作领域得到广泛应用,同时,随着技术发展,FDM也开始涉足一些新领域,例如制鞋领域。在某些应用场景中,可利用FDM打印技术打印鞋面部分,鞋面部分常用的打印材料为弹性体材料(例如热塑性聚氨酯弹性体,Thermoplastic Urethane,简称TPU),以TPU材料为例,TPU材料打印的鞋面具有较强的塑料感:鞋面整体反光、手感上偏硬、手感上有粘油性,另外,因为TPU材料本身的密度较大,打印的鞋面往往重量较大,而为减轻重量,鞋面设计上只能设计成镂空状。因此,开发新的打印材料对于3D打印领域的快速发展具有十分重大的意义。FDM printing technology has been widely used in model making fields such as architecture, art, industrial design, toys, etc. At the same time, with the development of technology, FDM has also begun to get involved in some new fields, such as shoemaking. In some application scenarios, FDM printing technology can be used to print the upper part. The commonly used printing material for the upper part is an elastomer material (such as thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, Thermoplastic Urethane, referred to as TPU). Take TPU material as an example, TPU material The printed vamp has a strong plastic feel: the vamp is reflective as a whole, hard to the touch, and sticky and oily to the hand. In addition, because of the high density of the TPU material itself, the printed vamp tends to be heavier. Weight, the vamp design can only be designed into a hollow shape. Therefore, the development of new printing materials is of great significance for the rapid development of the 3D printing field.

在将高分子弹性体树脂和发泡剂置入螺杆挤出机时,要注意控制两者的配比,以使得制备得到的发泡线材符合要求。When putting the polymer elastomer resin and foaming agent into the screw extruder, attention should be paid to controlling the ratio of the two, so that the prepared foamed wire meets the requirements.
一般地,以单螺杆挤出机为例,单螺杆挤出机中的螺杆可包括但不限于:喂料段、压缩段、均化段(计量段)、以及圆柱形口模。Generally, taking a single-screw extruder as an example, the screw in the single-screw extruder may include, but is not limited to, a feeding section, a compression section, a homogenization section (metering section), and a cylindrical die.
以高分子弹性体树脂粒子与发泡母粒充分混合形成预制混合物料为例,所述线条是通过将预制混合物料通过单螺杆挤出机熔融挤出而形成的。Taking the polymer elastomer resin particles and the foamed masterbatch fully mixed to form a prefabricated mixture as an example, the lines are formed by melt-extruding the prefabricated mixture through a single-screw extruder.
其中,所述喂料段是用于对预制混合物料进行预热,使其受压后挤实,但要求不能将预制混合物料加热塑化,同时也要控制发泡剂的膨胀状况以避免其过度膨胀,因此,在所述喂料段的设定温度应充分考虑高分子弹性体树脂的塑化温度以及发泡剂的膨胀状况,例如,在某些实施例中,可将所述喂料段的加热温度控制在小于等于一设定温度,以确保所述预制混合物料中高分子弹性体树脂和发泡剂在喂料过程中的稳定性。其中,所述设定温度是根据高分子弹性体树脂的塑化温度以及发泡剂的膨胀温度相关。Wherein, the feeding section is used to preheat the prefabricated mixed material to make it compact after being pressed, but it is required that the prefabricated mixed material cannot be heated and plasticized, and the expansion of the blowing agent should also be controlled to avoid its Excessive expansion, therefore, the set temperature in the feeding section should fully consider the plasticizing temperature of the polymer elastomer resin and the expansion of the foaming agent. For example, in some embodiments, the feeding can be The heating temperature of the section is controlled to be less than or equal to a set temperature to ensure the stability of the polymer elastomer resin and the blowing agent in the pre-mixed material during the feeding process. The set temperature is related to the plasticization temperature of the polymer elastomer resin and the expansion temperature of the foaming agent.
在所述螺杆的压缩段和均化段,温度设置要比在所述喂料段更高些。例如,可将压缩段的加热温度设置在预制混合物料的塑化温度之上,以确保由所述喂料段输送过来的预制混合 物料在所述压缩段充分塑化。另外,可将均化段的加热温度设置地比在压缩段更高,从而可起到进一步均匀塑化预制混合物料和进一步混炼的作用,在均化段,可将熔融的物料进行准确、定量地输送。In the compression section and homogenization section of the screw, the temperature setting is higher than in the feeding section. For example, the heating temperature of the compression section can be set above the plasticization temperature of the premixed material to ensure that the preformed mixed material conveyed from the feeding section is sufficiently plasticized in the compression section. In addition, the heating temperature in the homogenization section can be set higher than that in the compression section, so as to further uniformly plasticize the prefabricated mixture and further mix it. In the homogenization section, the molten material can be accurately, Quantitative delivery.
上述各个区段的温度设置仅为示例性说明,在实际应用中,仍可根据预制混合物料中高分子弹性体树脂和发泡剂的特性等作适应性调整。The temperature settings of the above-mentioned sections are only exemplary, and in practical applications, they can still be adjusted according to the properties of the polymer elastomer resin and the foaming agent in the prefabricated mixture.
此外,对于所述单螺杆挤出机的螺杆压缩比也作了相应的设置。单螺杆挤出机的螺杆压缩比指的是喂料段中第一个螺槽的容积与均化段中最后一个螺槽容积的比值。一般地,可将所述单螺杆挤出机的螺杆压缩比要控制在1.5至5。当然,所述螺杆压缩比设置的大一些,所述预制混合物料的塑化效果也会更均匀。在某些实施例中,在某些实施例中,可将所述单螺杆挤出机的螺杆压缩比要控制在大于等于2.8,例如,所述螺杆压缩比要控制在2.8至4。In addition, the screw compression ratio of the single-screw extruder is also set accordingly. The screw compression ratio of a single-screw extruder refers to the ratio of the volume of the first screw groove in the feeding section to the volume of the last screw groove in the homogenization section. Generally, the screw compression ratio of the single-screw extruder can be controlled at 1.5 to 5. Of course, if the screw compression ratio is set larger, the plasticizing effect of the prefabricated mixture will be more uniform. In some embodiments, the screw compression ratio of the single-screw extruder can be controlled to be greater than or equal to 2.8, for example, the screw compression ratio can be controlled to be 2.8 to 4.
所述口模是安装在单螺杆挤出机末端的有孔部件,它使挤出物形成规定的横截面形状。例如,所述口模可以是圆柱形口模,利用所述圆柱形口模,可将所述均化段输送过来的熔融的物料挤成截面呈圆形的线条。以圆柱形口模为例,所述圆柱形口模的挤出口的直径尺寸是要与制备的发泡线材的目标尺寸相适配,例如,在某些实施例中,采用小尺寸的圆柱形口模,其挤出口的直径为1.65mm~1.85mm,在某些实施例中,采用大尺寸的圆柱形口模,其挤出口的直径为2.75mm~3.15mm。The die is an orifice member mounted at the end of a single screw extruder that forms the extrudate into a defined cross-sectional shape. For example, the die can be a cylindrical die, and by using the cylindrical die, the molten material conveyed from the homogenization section can be extruded into a line with a circular cross-section. Taking a cylindrical die as an example, the diameter of the extrusion opening of the cylindrical die is to be adapted to the target size of the prepared foamed wire, for example, in some embodiments, a small-sized cylindrical For the die, the diameter of the extrusion opening is 1.65 mm to 1.85 mm. In some embodiments, a large-sized cylindrical die is used, and the diameter of the extrusion opening is 2.75 mm to 3.15 mm.
由上可知,在步骤S110中,可将高分子弹性体树脂和发泡剂在单螺杆挤出机挤出过程中经一次发泡流程后挤出成型。It can be seen from the above that in step S110, the polymer elastomer resin and the foaming agent can be extruded and formed after a single foaming process during the extrusion process of the single-screw extruder.

在本申请第二方面公开所述发泡线材的制备方法中,是将高分子弹性体树脂和发泡剂置入单螺杆挤出机并在单螺杆挤出机挤出过程中经一次发泡流程后挤出成型的。而所述发泡线材在步骤S320中,因所述发泡线材会在喷头装置加热并形成熔融状态时将再次发泡,即,所述发泡线材在打印过程中可二次发泡。因此,在本实施例所采用发泡材料进行FDM打印时,需要对FDM打印设备上的某些工艺参数作调整或新的设置,所述工艺参数包括但不限于:挤出率。In the preparation method of the foamed wire disclosed in the second aspect of the present application, the polymer elastomer resin and the foaming agent are put into a single-screw extruder and foamed once during the extrusion process of the single-screw extruder. Extruded after the process. In step S320, the foamed wire will be foamed again when the nozzle device is heated and formed into a molten state, that is, the foamed wire can be foamed twice during the printing process. Therefore, when the foamed material used in this embodiment is used for FDM printing, some process parameters on the FDM printing device need to be adjusted or newly set, and the process parameters include but are not limited to: extrusion rate.
普通的线材在FDM打印设备上使用过程中,由于打印设备的挤出机齿轮公差或在挤出过程中齿轮和线材传动过程中存在打滑等现象,挤出线材的实际长度往往会偏短,一般需要对其挤出率进行校准。During the use of ordinary filaments on FDM printing equipment, the actual length of the extruded filaments tends to be short due to the tolerance of the extruder gear of the printing equipment or the slippage during the transmission of the gear and the filament during the extrusion process. Its extrusion rate needs to be calibrated.
例如,当FDM打印设备工作时,会挤出设定长度的线材,当实际被挤出的线材长度偏短时,通常在FDM打印设备的切片软件中调整挤出倍率参数(Extrusion Multiplier),通常该挤出倍率参数被默认为100%或1。通过调整这个挤出倍率参数,FDM打印设备挤出的线材将会增加至设定长度。以100mm线材为例,在未校准情况下(即,挤出倍率参数为100%或1),实际打印过程中可能挤出为98mm,因此,在校准时,可以98mm为基数,将挤出倍率参数调整至102%(在这里,可将挤出倍率参数调整至102%后的挤出倍率参数称为校准挤出倍率参数),那么后续挤出的线材实际长度会增加至100mm,符合设定长度。For example, when the FDM printing device is working, it will extrude the wire of the set length. When the actual length of the extruded wire is too short, the extrusion multiplier parameter (Extrusion Multiplier) is usually adjusted in the slicing software of the FDM printing device, usually The extrusion magnification parameter is defaulted to 100% or 1. By adjusting this extrusion magnification parameter, the filament extruded by the FDM printing equipment will increase to the set length. Taking 100mm wire as an example, in the case of uncalibrated (that is, the extrusion magnification parameter is 100% or 1), the extrusion may be 98mm during the actual printing process. Therefore, during calibration, 98mm can be used as the base, and the extrusion magnification The parameter is adjusted to 102% (here, the extrusion magnification parameter after the extrusion magnification parameter can be adjusted to 102% is called the calibration extrusion magnification parameter), then the actual length of the subsequently extruded wire will increase to 100mm, which is in line with the setting length.
如前所述,在本申请的实施例中,FDM打印设备所使用的打印材料即为本申请第一方面公开的发泡线材,所述发泡线材包括高分子弹性体树脂和发泡剂,所述发泡线材与普通的线材不同,所述发泡线材会在喷头装置加热并形成熔融状态时将再次发泡,即,所述发泡线材 在打印过程中可二次发泡,使得其体积进一步膨胀。假设,所述发泡线材的膨胀系数为1.2,当直径为1.75mm的发泡线材被喷头装置处的挤出机构卷入100mm,其线材体积为240mm 3,那么经喷嘴装置的加热之后二次发泡,实际在喷嘴装置的喷头处挤出的材料体积为288.48mm 3As mentioned above, in the embodiments of the present application, the printing material used by the FDM printing device is the foamed wire rod disclosed in the first aspect of the present application, and the foamed wire rod includes a polymer elastomer resin and a foaming agent, The foamed wire is different from the ordinary wire. The foamed wire will be foamed again when the nozzle device is heated and formed into a molten state, that is, the foamed wire can be re-foamed during the printing process, so that it is The volume expands further. Assuming that the expansion coefficient of the foamed wire is 1.2, when the foamed wire with a diameter of 1.75mm is rolled into 100mm by the extrusion mechanism at the nozzle device, and the wire volume is 240mm 3 , then the second time after heating by the nozzle device For foaming, the actual volume of material extruded at the spray head of the nozzle device was 288.48 mm 3 .
因此,基于所述发泡线材的膨胀***,需要在前述校准挤出倍率***的基础上作二次调整,所述二次调整的挤出倍率应为所述校准挤出倍率参数与所述发泡线材的膨胀系数的商,即,二次调整的挤出倍率为102%除以1.2的商,即,85%。如此,在该二次调整的挤出倍率下,被挤出线材的体积将与从喷嘴装置中挤出的材料体积相等,从而获得较好的打印构件的质量和打印成功率。Therefore, based on the expansion system of the foamed wire, it is necessary to make a secondary adjustment on the basis of the aforementioned calibrated extrusion magnification system, and the extrusion magnification of the secondary adjustment should be the calibration extrusion magnification parameter and the expansion ratio. The quotient of the expansion coefficient of the foam wire, that is, the extrusion magnification of the secondary adjustment is the quotient of dividing 102% by 1.2, that is, 85%. In this way, under the extrusion magnification of the second adjustment, the volume of the extruded wire will be equal to the volume of the material extruded from the nozzle device, so as to obtain better quality of the printing member and printing success rate.
请继续参阅图3,执行步骤S330,根据横截层图案的数量重复执行控制FDM打印设备的喷头装置依据横截层图案沿打印路径向打印面挤出打印材料以得到一打印固化层的步骤,以逐层累积打印固化层得到打印构件。Please continue to refer to FIG. 3 , step S330 is executed, and the step of controlling the nozzle device of the FDM printing device to extrude the printing material along the printing path to the printing surface according to the cross-sectional pattern according to the number of the cross-sectional layer patterns to obtain a printed solidified layer is repeatedly performed, The printed member is obtained by accumulating and printing the cured layer layer by layer.
在此,当所述横截层图案为一个时,则执行S310和S320后即可得到打印构件。当横截层图案为多个时,则根据横截层图案的具体数量重复步骤S320,以逐层在前一层的基础上累积打印固化层,从而得到对应于横截层图案数量的打印固化层,从而形成打印构件。Here, when the cross-sectional layer pattern is one, the printed member can be obtained after performing S310 and S320. When there are multiple cross-sectional layer patterns, step S320 is repeated according to the specific number of cross-sectional layer patterns, so as to accumulate the printed and cured layers on the basis of the previous layer layer by layer, so as to obtain the printed and cured layers corresponding to the number of cross-sectional layer patterns. layer to form a printed member.
在一个示例性的实施方式中,所述FDM打印方法中还包括后处理的步骤。所述后处理的步骤包括但不限于将所打印的打印构件予以修剪。例如,由于FDM打印设备所依据的打印数据是根据本申请第一方面的实施方式中的FDM打印数据生成方法所得到的。若FDM打印数据生成阶段存在投影轮廓外通过路径辅助线条将同一切片图案中的非封闭纹理线条之间连接以得到横截层图案时,在依据该横截层图案的打印数据所打印出的固化层中也包括了在轮廓外的线条结构。因此,在一些情况下,可将这些位于轮廓外的线条结构予以修剪,以得到期望的3D打印构件。In an exemplary embodiment, the FDM printing method further includes a post-processing step. The post-processing steps include, but are not limited to, trimming the printed print member. For example, since the print data on which the FDM printing apparatus is based is obtained according to the FDM print data generating method in the embodiment of the first aspect of the present application. If there is a projection outline in the generation stage of FDM printing data, when the non-closed texture lines in the same slice pattern are connected by path auxiliary lines to obtain a cross-section layer pattern, the solidification printed according to the print data of the cross-section layer pattern Layers also include line structures outside of outlines. Therefore, in some cases, these out-of-contour line structures can be trimmed to obtain the desired 3D printed component.
由于本申请所公开的发泡线材在打印时仍可二次发泡并得以膨胀,不仅可使得打印构件重量相比于使用普通线材打印得到的打印构件要更轻,发泡线材的膨胀系数越大,两者的重量差别也就越大,此外,在打印时材料膨胀,也会增加打印构件表面的磨砂质感且整体轻盈柔软,从而达到消除普通线材普遍存在的表面层纹的效果。Since the foamed wire disclosed in this application can still be foamed and expanded during printing, not only can the weight of the printed component be lighter than that of the printed component printed with ordinary wire, but the higher the expansion coefficient of the foamed wire The larger the weight, the greater the weight difference between the two. In addition, the material expansion during printing will also increase the matte texture of the surface of the printing component and make it light and soft as a whole, so as to achieve the effect of eliminating the common surface layers of ordinary wires.
