3、会面临两个重要的富有挑战性的任务:大幅度减少产品开发时间,提高多种产品,小批量大小产品的制造灵活性。计算机辅助设计与制造(CAD 和 CAM)有着显著改善了传统的产品设计及制造。然而,在新产品快速开发方面有一些障碍,这些障碍阻碍着计算机辅助设计与计算机辅助制造的真正集成。To substantially shorten the time for developing patterns, moulds, and prototypes, some manufacturing enterprise have started to use rapid prototyping(RP) methods f
4、or complex partterns making and component prototyping. Over the past few years, a variety of new rapid manufacturing technologies, generally called Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing(RP & M) have emerged; the technologies developed include stereo lithography(SL),selective laser sintering(SLS), fuse
5、d deposition modeling(FDM), laminated object manufacturing(LOM), and three dimensional printing(3D Printing). These technologies are capable of directly generating physical objects from CAD databases. They have a common important feature: the prototype part is produced by adding materials rather tha
6、n removing materials, that is , a part is first modeled by a geometric modeler such as a solid modeler, and then is mathematically sectioned(sliced) into a series of parallel cross-section pieces. For each piece, the curing or binding paths are generated. These curing or binding paths are directly u
7、sed to instruct the machine for producing the part by solidifying or binding a line of material. After a layer is built, a new layer is built on the previous one in the same way. Thus, the model is built layer by layer from the bottom to top.为了大大缩短母模,模具和样件的制作时间,一些制造厂开始利用快速原型制造技术(RP)来制作复杂的母模和零部件的原型。在
8、过去的几年,各种新型的快速制造技术,通常称为快速成型制造(RP&M)已经出现.已开发的技术包括立体光刻(SL), 选择性激光烧结(SLS),熔融沉积制造(FDM),分层实体制造(LOM)和三维打印(3D Printing)。这些技术都是直接从CAD数据库生成物体的能力。它们都有一些共同的重要特征:原型件都是通过增材制造,而不是材料去除工艺制作的,也就是说,零件首先通过几何建模软件,如一个零件建模模块来建模,然后用数学的方法进行切层处理,使其成为一连串平行的横截面片,每一平行的横截面片固化的或者具有约束力的路径便生成了。这些固化的或具有约束力的路径就直接用于指导机器通过固化的或者具有约束力的线性
9、层材料生产零部件。每建完一层材料实体,新一层材料实体就会以相同的形式建立在前一层材料实体上。因此,模型是从下到上一层一层建立起来的。RP Processes 快速成型过程As mentioned earlier, there are several technologies available for model production based on the principle of growing or additive manufacturing. The major differences among these technologies are in two aspects: (1)
10、 Materials used, and (2) Part building techniques. The following sections will explain in detail these rapid prototyping technologies with respect to the above two aspects.如前所述,有几种技术的模型制作上载于“成长“或“添加剂“的制造原则为基础。在这些技术的主要区别是在两个方面:(1)所用材料,以及(2)零件创建技术。下面几节将详细说明就上述这些快速原型技术的两个方面。1.Stereolithography 1.光固化成型机
11、Stereolithography apparatus (SLA) was invented by Charle Hull of 3D Systems Inc. It is the first commerically available rapid prototyper and is considered as the most widely used prototyping machine. The material used is liquid photo-curable resin. acrylate. Under the initialtion of photons, small m
12、olecules(monomers) are polymerized into large molecules. Based on this principle, the part is built in a vat of liquid resin as shown in Fig1.1.光固化成型机是由3D System公司的Charle Hull发明。 它是世界第一台使用最广的商业快速成型机。使用的材料为丙烯酸光敏树脂。 在光子的引发下,小分子(单体)聚合成大分子。 原型零件就是根据这一原理从树脂槽中制作出来的。如图1.1所示。The SLA machine creates the prot
13、otype by tracing layer cross-section on the surface of the liquid photopolymer pool with a laser beam. Unlike the contouring or zigzag cutter movement used in CNC machining, the beam traces in parallel lines. The laser beam is deflected horizontally in X and Y axes by galvanometer-driven mirrors so
14、that it move across the surface of the resin to produce a solid pattern. After a layer is built, the elevator drops a user-specified distance and a new coating of liquid resin covers the solidified layer. A wiper helps spread the viscous polymer over for building the next layer. The laser draw a new
15、 layer on the top of the previous one. In this way, the model is built layer from bottom to top.光固化成型机通过激光光束对液体感光树脂池面层的横截面进行跟踪的方式创建原型。同数控机床加工时刀具的轮廓走刀和循环走刀方式不一样,激光束是以平行方式扫描的。激光束通过振镜驱动水平在XY轴偏转,这样它跨越了树脂表面产生固体模型,创建好一层横截面片后,升降机下降一个用户指定的距离,新的液态树脂固化涂料就覆盖了上一个固化层,刮板用来将粘稠的树脂均匀涂覆在零件上表面以便于下一层的制作。 激光在前一层的顶部进行新一层
16、的扫描。这样原型就自下而上地逐层制作而成。There are several features worthy of mentioning of SLA.(1)Material.There are five commercially available photopolymers. All of them are a kind of acrylate.(2)Support.Because a model is created in liquid, the overhanging regions of the part (unsupported below) may sag or float aw
17、ay during the building process. The prototye thus needs some predesigned support until it is cured or solidified. These additional features are built on the model parts and have to be trimmed after the model building is completed.(3)Model accuracy and performance.The accuracy achieved is about 0.1%
18、of the overall dimension and deteriorates with larger sizes but no more than 0.5%. The layer thickness is between 0.004 and 0.03. Presently, the SLA machines made by 3D Systems Inc. are the most accurate machines among the RP& M systems.有很多值得一提的SLA几个特点。(1)材质。有五个商用光聚合物。他们都是一类的丙烯酸酯。(2)支持。由于模型是建立在液体之上的
19、,零件的悬垂区域在创建过程中可能下垂或者漂浮。因此快速成型在零件凝固化或者固结家有时需要一些预先设计的支持。这些额外的特征是建立在模型零件之上的,所以必须在模型创建完成后对其进行必要的修剪。(3)模型精度与性能。整体模型大小精度达到0.1%左右,当精度超过0.1%但不超过0.5%时就会恶化。每一截面层的厚度在0.004与0.03之间。目前,由3D System公司开发的SLA机械是RP&M系统中精度最高的机械。2.Selective laser sintering(SLS) 选择性激光烧结(SLS)SLS uses a carbon dioxide laser to sinter succes
20、sive layers of powder instead of liquid.In SLS processes, a thin layer of powder is applied by a rotating roller mechanism onto the work place. The powder material is preheated to a temperature slightly below its melting point. The laser beam traces the cross-section on the powder surface to heat up
