Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the process of 3D printing, the printing material is usually discharged from the outlet in a molten state, and the outlet moves with the print head under the control of the computer to achieve layer-by-layer printing. However, the existing feeding system currently uses Filamentous materials such as ABS plastic wire rely on gear clamping and pushing forward to achieve melting and solidification. For brittle materials (such as chocolate), the method of gear clamping and pushing forward cannot be used, and fragile materials such as chocolate cannot be realized. 3D printing

Abstract

The invention provides a feed system of a 3D printing apparatus. The feed system is especially suitable for chocolate feeding, and two feed modes comprising a pneumatic mode and a piston mode can be selected by the system. The feed system comprises: a material storage tank; a heater arranged on the material storage tank to heat a material (8) in the material storage tank to the molten state; a gas jet cooler arranged at the material outlet (15) of the material storage tank to cool a printing model; and a material discharge driving device connected with the material storage tank to drive the molten material to be discharged from the material storage tank. The feed system of the 3D printing apparatus widens the application field of 3D printing. The invention also provides the 3D printing apparatus.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to 3D printing technology, in particular to a 3D printing device and a feeding system thereof. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of printing technology, simple two-dimensional printing technology has been unable to meet people's needs. In order to meet people's needs, 3D printing technology has been developed rapidly. Because 3D printing technology is a three-dimensional printing technology, it can print out three-dimensional physical models. Therefore, it is more and more popular among manufacturers. [0003] Please refer to the attached figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the principle of 3D printing technology. As shown in the figure, during the printing process, the print head 01 is controlled by the computer. Driven by the pulley, it moves along the x-axis or y-axis according to the model information stored in the computer, and ejects a certain amount of printing materials, and then layer by l...
