Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of 3D printing, in particular to a wax-type 3D material and a preparation method and application thereof. Background technique [0002] Compared with traditional technology, 3D printing technology has the advantages of saving time and cost, fast customization, designing highly complex structural parts, no need to open molds, and repeated sample research. Therefore, 3D printing technology has gradually been widely used. In jewelry processing, dental denture processing, aerospace and other high-precision casting fields. [0003] At present, a variety of materials and 3D printing technologies have been applied in these fields, such as stereolithography (Stereo lithography Appearance, SLA), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Digital Light Processing (Digital Light Processing) , DLP) and multi-jet printing (MultiJet Printing, MJP) and other 3D printing technologies are used in plastic, metal, wax and other materia...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] At present, there are not many wax materials used in this kind of technology. In terms of molding materials, the purple wax launched by 3D systems in the United States is expensive, has a high volume shrinkage rate (up to 2.2%), and is relatively brittle, which brings a lot of inconvenience to transportation. , and there are a few domestic manufacturers researching and developing this wax molding material, but there are often unfavorable phenomena such as brittleness, nozzle blockage, molding soft collapse and casting lost wax with ash residue

In terms of supporting materials, the white wax launched by 3D systems in the United States is expensive, and the material has low rigidity, large penetration (up to 1.5dmm), and large shrinkage rate (up to 2%). There are also a few domestic manufacturers targeting this wax. Research and development of type support materials, but there are often phenomena such as plugging and not easy to remove

[0006] Chinese patent CN106118082A discloses a 3D printing machine prepared from paraffin wax, beeswax, epoxy resin, curing agent, viscosity modifier, toughening polymer, high hardness polymer, filling material, dye and phase transfer agent. Molding material, but the material has the following disadvantages: ①The material is added with epoxy resin, high hardness polymer, and the filling material has poor compatibility with wax, and contains a large amount of high molecular polymer, which is difficult to volatilize and decompose, and has poor wax loss performance. Poor; ②The crystallization of the material is rough, resulting in a rough surface of the printed workpiece

[0007] Chinese patent CN106366672A discloses a 3D printing structural material prepared from hydrocarbon wax, basic wax, wax, low molecular weight polyethylene or a combination thereof plus optimized additives as raw materials, but the workpiece printed by this material is relatively Brittle, easily brittle and damaged during transportation

[0008] Chinese patent CN107936582A discloses a 3D printing molding wax prepared from hard wax, soft wax, tackifier, nucleating agent, filler, surfactant, dispersant, antioxidant and toner. , but the material added with monodisperse polystyrene microspheres is only in a dispersed state in the material, and has a high softening point, which is easy to aggregate and clog in the printing nozzle at 65-85 °C

[0009] Chinese patent CN105504836A discloses a wax prepared from paraffin wax, viscosity modifier, stabilizer, tough polymer, plasticizer, high hardness polymer, low shrinkage resin, filler material, dye and phase transfer agent. Type support materials, although the penetration is reduced to a certain extent and the toughness of the material is improved, but the tough polymers and high hardness polymers added in it contain a large amount of high molecular polymers, which are insoluble in water and lower alcohol solutions. It brings great difficulty to the post-cleaning to remove the support material

[0010] Chinese patent CN107556675A discloses a water-soluble support material prepared from polyvinyl alcohol, plasticizer, stabilizer, heat stabilizer, flow modifier and melt bonding enhancer, which can effectively solve the problem of bonding The bad problem is that the support material can be dissolved and removed by immersion in normal temperature water, but this support material can only be used in FDM 3D printers. If it is used in MJP 3D printers, it is prone to plugging problems, and the support material has a relatively high melting point. High, it will cause some damage to the molding material
