The development of 3D printing technology is very mature, but it has always been a huge pain point - that is, the printing speed is very limited. As the structure of the items we want to print becomes more and more complex, this time-consuming will certainly become more and more. long. . . Interestingly, a company called Carbon 3D came up with a printer that uses a breakthrough technology called CLIP (Continuous Liquid Interface Forming), claiming to be 25-100 times faster than traditional 3D printers. . How fast is this, that is, printing an "Eiffel Tower" in 6.25 seconds! ! As the name is so tall, what is the "continuous liquid interface forming"? According to the data, CLIP, full name is: Continuous Liquid Interface Production technology. This is a new process discovered by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill last year that solved two of the most annoying problems with 3D printing: making a work that has to wait for hours and a rough surface. The existing 3D printing method uses a liquid resin to construct an object structure layer by layer, and the process is slow. Print a layer first, correct the shape, and then pour in the resin. Repeat the previous steps. In the CLIP system, a projection device continuously cuts the object profile invisible from below using ultraviolet rays. This light energy causes the bottom layer of liquid resin in a pool to harden, while at the same time there will be a platform to lift the molded object from the resin pool. Carbon 3D can print complex surfaces with flat surfaces. The technical advantage of CLIP is that their machines do not print layer by layer like the others. It is a continuous liquid interface forming process. The time required is only a small part of the existing equipment, and More extensive raw materials can be used for printing. Explained so much, it is estimated that you did not understand the little friends, watching the video yo ~ In addition, CLIP has an advantage. Can use materials that cannot be used with most 3D printers, such as synthetic rubber and other tissue-compatible biomaterials. The CLIP production process looks cool, and the creators even said that they were inspired by Terminator 2's liquid metal robot T-1000. Light curing Deadzone working principle demonstration Carbon 3D released a total of five types of materials, namely: hard polyurethane; flexible polyurethane; elastic polyurethane; cyanate ester; general resin. RPU: Rigid Polyurethanes, which perform exceptionally well under pressure and have strength, stiffness, and toughness, are suitable for use in consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial components that require excellent mechanical properties. FPU..Flexible Polyurethane, a semi-rigid material, with excellent impact, wear, and fatigue resistance. This versatile material can be used in places that require more toughness to withstand repeated stresses, such as hinge structures. EPU: Elastic polyurethane, which is a high-performance polymer elastomer. It exhibits excellent elasticity under cyclic tensile and compressive loads. EPUs can be used in areas such as bumpers, gaskets, and seals that require high elasticity, impact resistance, and tear resistance. CE.. is a cyanate ester resin, which is a high performance material with a heat deflection temperature of up to 219 degrees Celsius. Its outstanding features are its excellent strength, stiffness and long-term thermal stability. The CE can be used for under-the-hood applications as well as making electronic or industrial parts that often need to operate at higher temperatures. PR.. prototype resin, this resin print speed, has excellent resolution, good performance, enough to withstand moderate functional testing. It has six colors - cyan, magenta, yellow, black, white, and gray. These colors can also be mixed to create other custom colors. The material is so high-end, and the price is naturally high. It is reported that Carbon M1 will adopt a leasing method. If you want to use this equipment, you need to pay 40,000 US dollars (about 260,000 yuan) per year, including maintenance and other services. . From this it can be seen that the first users of Carbon 3D should be high-tech companies or some research institutions. Their demand for technology and quality will undoubtedly be higher. As for the general makers, they will quietly wait for its further popularity. It.
