Abstract

The invention discloses a natural flow and continuous supplement digital light processing (DLP) light curing device and method. The device comprises an oblique resin trough, a forming platform which is correspondingly arranged over the resin trough and can move up and down, a resin supplementing device arranged at the high end of the resin trough, a photosensitive resin storage device arranged at the lower end of the resin trough, and a DLP projector arranged below the resin trough. A parallel channel for photosensitive resin to flow is formed between a high end side plate of the resin trough and the bottom face of the resin trough in parallel, and a parallel channel for the photosensitive resin to flow is formed between a lower end side plate of the resin trough and the bottom face of the resin trough in parallel. The photosensitive resin in the resin supplementing device flows along the whole bottom face of the resin trough under the action of gravity, and a thickness uniform photosensitive resin layer is formed on the whole bottom face of the resin trough. The device is easy and convenient to operate, and constant supplementing and continuous forming of the resin material are achieved. Compared with an ordinary DLP printer, the device and method have the beneficial effects that the waiting time for resin back flowing is shortened, and the DLP light curing manufacturing speed is increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of rapid prototyping of DLP light-cured photosensitive resins, in particular to a device and method for continuously supplementing DLP light-cure with natural flow. Background technique [0002] Digital Light Processing (DLP) molding technology is a kind of additive manufacturing technology and the latest development technology of rapid prototyping technology. In this technology, the 3D model of the part needs to be sliced ​​and processed on the main control system to divide the 3D model into a series of 2D plane images, and then control the DLP projection system to realize the projection of the images. The cross-sectional graphics are generated by each lens corresponding to each pixel on the current material layer. This pattern is projected onto the surface of the UV-curable liquid photosensitive resin through a digital micromirror device (DMD), and is cured or hardened at the pixel position. At the same time, cont...
