Product, printed on the 3D printer Plan B

, 22-year-old engineer Ivo de Haas developed An open source Plan B 3D printer that's far from ordinary. It uses a technology that is fundamentally different from the method of layered deposition and stereolithography. This printer prints products from fine powder, which sticks together layer by layer under the influence of a special binder. nine0003

Plan B 3D printer

“3D printing differs from conventional inkjet printing only in its three-dimensionality,” explains Haas. – My 3D printer has several powder containers and a binder cartridge. First, he applies a thin layer of powder to the platform. The head sprays the binder, bonding the powder in the right places. When the layer is ready, the platform drops a little lower. This process is repeated until the product is finished.

Plan B 3D printed product

In general, this method is similar to selective laser sintering, but instead of a laser that sinters the powder, it uses a special adhesive that resembles glue. Haas claims that the Plan B prints much more accurately than fused deposition 3D printers. In addition, no support material is required when manufacturing products with a complex design, since the powder itself serves as a support. nine0003

Plan B may not be one of the world's fastest 3D printers, but it prints faster than Cartesian 3D printers because the nozzle doesn't have to move as much as the print head normally does. While stereolithography and fused deposition 3D printers are limited in materials (usually plastic-based substances), Plan B is capable of printing virtually any powder material, including ceramic, stainless steel, graphite, and etc. nine0003

Plan B in action

Sounds great, doesn't it. However, there is a fly in the ointment in every barrel of honey. First of all, it is worth remembering that a very fine powder is used for work, which means that it will contain both the platform and the product itself. Also, the 3D printer's containers must always be filled with powder for it to function properly. But, perhaps, the most unpleasant can be considered the post-processing of products. Printed products are quite fragile, so they should be handled very carefully. First you need to brush off the remnants of the powder from them, then cover them with cyanoacrylic or epoxy glue to give them strength. Another way to fasten the product is to burn it in the oven. Agree, not everyone has a personal kiln at hand. nine0003

The Plan B 3D printer cost Haas about 1,000 euros to build. Main features:

  • Working volume: 150 mm x 150 mm x 100 mm.
  • Layer thickness: 0.1-0.25 mm.

  • Power consumption: up to 160 W (about 90 W on average).
  • Printer dimensions: 550 mm x 350 mm x 450 mm.
  • Printer weight: 16 kg.
  • Frame material: aluminum and plastic.
  • Linear guides: LM8UU on steel rods 8 mm thick.

3DP stands for Three-Dimensional Printing , and translates as three-dimensional printing. This technology is one of the varieties of systems for the additive construction of a product according to its CAD model and differs from numerous similar schemes in that the process is carried out according to the principle of a conventional printer - through print head nozzles. Thus, 3D inkjet printing is a natural continuation of the development of conventional 2D printing technologies. To date, it has achieved fairly good results, such as color printing. nine0003


Products printed on the Z Corp's Spectrum Z510 color 3D printer

The history of the emergence and development of 3DP

The idea of ​​implementing equipment using this printing scheme was first proposed by two students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Tim Anderson and Jim Bredt in 1993. It is thanks to them that the term 3D printing has spread around the world. And this is quite fair, because the first model of the device was a modification of a conventional 2D printer. Instead of ink, he used a special adhesive composition, which applied layer by layer to the surface of the bonded substance, the boundaries of the future three-dimensional product. nine0003

In 1995, Tim and Jim formed the Z Corporation, which brought this technology to market, improving it to such an extent that in 2012 3D systems Corporation wished to acquire it along with the company. Under her brand, former Z Corporation models are now sold worldwide.

One of the directions of the ExOne company (USA) is the production of 3D printers that use the same technology. This firm was founded in 2005 as a subsidiary of the Extrude Hone Corporation. Using the patents obtained by Anderson and Bedt, they launched a line of printers that even print metal products today. nine0003

3D inkjet printing technology

Today there are more than thirty 3D printing technologies, which in one way or another duplicate each other, although each has its own characteristics. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM International) has divided 3D inkjet printing technologies into two categories:

  • Material jetting - material splattering.
  • Binder jetting Binder jetting. nine0040

In the first case, the building material itself is fed directly through the nozzles, which hardens after application. In the second, an adhesive is sprayed onto a thin layer of gypsum, polymer or metal powder. 3DP technology in its original form represented exactly the second method.

If we consider it in more detail, then printing occurs in the following way:0003

  • To begin with, a CAD model is loaded into a computer connected via an Ethernet cable to the printer, which is “cut” into layers, about 0.1 mm thick.
  • Next, a thin layer of powdered material (gypsum, polymers, sand, metal) is applied with a roller on a special platform.
  • Using the print head, a binder (glue, water, special mixture) is sprayed along the coordinates of the boundaries of the first layer received from the computer.
  • nine0039 After that, the platform with the model is lowered by the thickness of the layer down, and the chamber with the building material is lowered by the same distance.
  • Next, the roller unrolls the next layer and the process repeats.
  • After the end of 3D printing, the product is removed from the powder layer and thoroughly cleaned of its residues.

When making models from metal powder, a firing process in a special furnace is added. Let's take a closer look at this process.

The figure above shows 4 stages of his stage:

  • First, according to the above scheme, the so-called "green model" is formed from the matrix powder and binder (1,2).
  • Next, the product is placed in an oven filled with a protective gas, usually nitrogen.
  • When the temperature rises to 1000-1100 degrees, the binder is removed, and the free space around the powder particles is impregnated with bronze (or other metal) previously placed next to the "green" model. This process is called infiltration.
  • nine0067

    Materials used for 3DP printing and their cost

    Gypsum has traditionally been used in 3D printing, and water played the role of a binder in this case. However, technology has stepped forward and, as is clear from the previous section, metals (bronze, copper), sand and polymer mixtures are now also used. Dyes are mixed into the binder, which makes it possible to carry out color printing on such a 3D printer.

    The cost of the simplest powders is on average 600-700 euros for a 10 kg bucket (8200 cm3), the price of the binder is about 660 euros for 3.8 liters. nine0003

    Characteristics of finished products and their application

    Models made of gypsum and polymers are not too strong to be used in the production cycle as a mold, however, they are quite suitable for rapid visualization of prototypes of various parts and products . It can also be used in various architectural and design works or in the manufacture of souvenirs.

    Products using metals have better properties, however, their strength is still at an average level: tensile strength 610 MPa, hardness HRC = 10-20. nine0093 Such characteristics are quite suitable for the manufacture of plastic injection molds, which can withstand from 200 to 500 thousand production cycles. They are also used to make parts that work under friction conditions - shafts, bushings, gears, etc.
