Abrégé

In the case of a method for producing a three-dimensional shaped object by means of layer-by-layer material application, a base surface for holding the three-dimensional shaped object, a liquid, flowable or powder-form first material that can solidify, a powder-form second material including thermoplastic powder particles, and a solvent are made available. From the first material, a negative mold layer having a cavity for a shaped-object layer to be produced is produced and solidified. The bottom of the cavity is charged to an electric potential having a first polarity, and the powder particles are charged to a potential having a second polarity. The powder particles are applied to a support surface that is positioned relative to the cavity in such a manner that the powder particles are transferred from the support surface into the cavity and form a shaped-object layer having a positive shape that matches the negative mold in this cavity. The shaped-object layer is sintered by means of the effect of heat. A planar surface is produced by means of material removal, which surface extends over the negative mold layer and the shaped-object layer. The above steps are repeated at least once. Afterward the negative mold layers are dissolved in the solvent.

Abrégé

The invention relates to an apparatus and to a method for producing a three-dimensional shaped object by means of material application in layers Sn (n=1 to N), which has at least a material dispensing device, a drive device, a print substrate, a control device having a data memory, and a material removal device. In order to be able to recognize and eliminate defects in a layer Sn, which can still occur later, i.e., after completion of this layer Sn, it is proposed, according to the invention, to provide a monitoring device. Furthermore, a downstream evaluation device determines a layer Sx in which the at least one defect was detected. Thereupon an error signal is generated and passed on to the control device. The material removal device completely removes the material of a partial region of the shaped object, from the layer SN that was last printed, down to the first of the defective layers Sx. Building up the three-dimensional shaped object begins anew at the layer Sx−1.

k in question. Dispensing of the material portions takes place in print cycles in which the emitter array is triggered to dispense material once, in each instance, at a trigger point assigned to the print cycle in question, in each instance, and the support as well as the emitter array are offset relative to one another, from print cycle to print cycle, in each instance, by an angular distance with reference to the axis of rotation. Printing of all the print dots of a row takes place in a number of print cycles that is greater than the number of emitter columns. The print cycle is selected, for each print dot to be printed, in each instance, in such a manner that the angular difference between the rotational position of the trigger point of the print cycle and the rotational position in which the print dot to be printed is arranged with reference to the axis of rotation when the support is positioned at the trigger point relative to the emitter array is not greater, in terms of amount, than half the angular distance between the trigger points.

Abrégé

In a method for producing a solid-body layer, an emitter array is provided. A support is rotationally positioned relative to the emitter array, about an axis of rotation, and material portions of a material that passes through the nozzles are applied to the support and solidified. The center point of the emitter farthest away from the axis of rotation has a first radial distance, and the emitter arranged closest to the axis of rotation has a second radial distance from the axis of rotation. A trigger signal is generated, which defines trigger points. A material dispensing signal is generated and temporarily stored, in each instance, for the individual emitters, as a function of geometry data and/or as a function of the position in which the emitter in question is arranged relative to the support, when the emitter is positioned at the corresponding trigger point. The emitters are controlled at the trigger points in such a manner that only those emitters in which the material dispensing signal is set dispense material. The angle between trigger points that are adjacent to one another corresponds to the angle that a first and a second radial line enclose between them. The first radial line runs from the axis of rotation to the intersection point between a first emitter column and a reference circle line that is concentric to the axis of rotation. The second radial line runs from the axis of rotation to the intersection point between a second emitter column and the reference circle line. The radius of the reference circle line is less than the sum of 90% of the first and 10% of the second distance. The radius is greater than the sum of 10% of the first and 90% of the second distance.

Abrégé

In a method for producing a three-dimensional mold and a three-dimensional shaped object by means of layer-by-layer material application, geometry data for the shaped object, a support part having a base surface for holding the three-dimensional shaped object, and a first and a second material that can be solidified are made available. In the solidified state, the second material includes at least one main component that can be cross-linked by means of treatment with energy, and a latent hardener that can be thermally activated, by means of which chemical cross-linking of the main component can be triggered by means of the effect of heat. To form a negative-shape layer, the first material is applied to the base surface and/or to a solidified material layer of the three-dimensional shaped object situated on this surface, in accordance with the geometry data, in such a manner that the negative-shape layer has at least one cavity that has a negative shape of a material layer of the shaped object to be produced. The negative-shape layer is solidified. To form a shaped-object layer, the cavity is filled with the second material, and afterward its main component is partially cross-linked by means of treatment with energy, and solidified. Regions of the solidified negative-shape layer and/or shaped-object layer that project beyond a plane arranged at a distance from the base surface are removed by means of material removal. The steps mentioned above are repeated at least once. The main component is further cross-linked by means of a heat treatment, and solidified in such a manner that the second material has a greater strength than the solidified first material and the second material after partial cross-linking. The negative-shape layers are removed from the shaped object.

Abrégé

The invention relates to a method for producing at least one solid body layer on a substrate (1), which is rotatable about an axis of rotation (2), according to specified geometric data, in which method an emitter assembly (11) is provided, which has a plurality of emitters which are designed as material dispensing nozzles and are arranged in emitter columns and emitter lines. Emitter columns adjacent to one another in the circumferential direction of an axis of rotation (2) are each offset relative to one another in the extension direction of the emitter columns in such a way that the emitters are arranged at different radial distances DA(i) from the axis of rotation (2), wherein the following applies: DA(i) DA(i+1). Printing points are assigned to the geometric data and are offset relative to one another in a matrix with a plurality of rows running alongside one another in such a way that the following applies: PA(j) > PA(j+1), where PA(j) is the radial distance of the j-th printing point Pj of the relevant row from the axis of rotation (2). For printing points Pk, for which material is to be dispensed onto the substrate (2), in each case at least one material portion is dispensed from the emitter Dk of the emitter assembly assigned to the relevant printing point Pk. The material portions are dispensed in printing cycles, in each of which the emitter assembly for dispensing material is triggered once at a trigger point assigned to the relevant printing cycle, and from printing cycle to printing cycle the substrate (1) as well as the emitter assembly are each offset relative to one another by an angular distance from the axis of rotation (2). All printing points in a row are printed in a number of printing cycles which is greater than the number of emitter columns. For each printing point to be printed, the printing cycle is selected in such a way that the angular difference between the rotational position of the trigger point of the printing cycle and the rotational position at which a printing point to be printed is arranged with respect to the axis of rotation, when the substrate (1) is positioned relative to the emitter assembly at the trigger point, is not greater in terms of amount than half of the angular distance between the trigger points.

Abrégé

An emitter arrangement (11) is provided within the scope of a method for producing a solid layer. A base (1) is rotationally positioned relative to the emitter arrangement about an axis of rotation (2) and material portions of a material that passes through a nozzle are applied to the base and solidified. The center of the emitter (12) situated furthest away from the axis of rotation and the center of the emitter (12) arranged closest to the axis of rotation have a first and second radial distance, respectively, from the axis of rotation. A trigger signal which defines trigger points is generated. A respective material emission signal is generated and buffer stored for each of the individual emitters on the basis of geometry data and/or on the basis of the position at which the relevant emitter is arranged relative to the base when said emitter is positioned at the respective trigger point. At the trigger points, the emitters are controlled in such a way that material is only emitted by those emitters where the material emission signal has been set. The angle between adjacent trigger points corresponds to the angle included between a first and a second radial line. The first radial line extends from the axis of rotation to the point of intersection between a first emitter column and a reference circle (25) that is concentric with the axis of rotation. The second radial line extends from the axis of rotation to the point of intersection between a second emitter column and the reference circle. The radius of the reference circle is less than the sum of 90% of the first distance and 10% of the second distance. The radius is greater than the sum of 10% of the first distance and 90% of the second distance.

Abrégé

In a method for producing a three-dimensional mould and a three-dimensional shaped article (1) by means of layer-by-layer material application, geometric data for the shaped article (1), a carrier part (2) having a base surface (3) for accommodating the three-dimensional shaped article (1) and a consolidatable first and second material (4, 5) are provided. The second material (5) comprises at least one main component cross-linkable by treatment with energy and a thermally activatable, latent curing agent, by means of which a chemical cross-linking of the main component can be triggered by the action of heat. For forming a negative mould layer (12), the first material (4) is applied in accordance with geometric data to the base surface (3) and/or a consolidated material layer of the three-dimensional shaped article (1) present thereon in such a way that the negative mould layer (12) has at least one cavity (13) that has a negative mould of a material layer of the shaped article (1) to be produced. The negative mould layer (12) is consolidated. For formation of a shaped article layer (16), the cavity (13) is filled with the second material (5) and then the main component of the second material is partially cross-linked and is consolidated by treatment with energy. By means of a plane disposed at a distance from the base surface (3), protruding regions of the consolidated negative mould layer (12) and/or shaped article layer (16) are removed by material removal. The aforementioned steps are repeated at least once. The main component is further cross-linked by a heat treatment and is consolidated in such a way that the second material (5) has a higher strength than the consolidated first material (4) and the second material after the partial cross-linking. The negative mould layers (12) are removed from the shaped article (1).

Abrégé

The invention relates to a method for producing a three-dimensional shaped object without height limitation by means of layer-by-layer material application, wherein geometric data for the shaped object, a substrate part having a base surface for holding the shaped object, flowable first and second material, and a transfer body are provided. Material portions of the flowable first material are applied to the base surface and/or to a solidified material layer of the three-dimensional shaped object located on the base surface in accordance with the geometric data in order to produce a material layer of the three-dimensional shaped object. The material layer consisting of the first material is solidified. A surface region of the transfer body is coated with a layer of the second material, and said layer is brought into contact with the surface of the topmost solidified material layer of the three-dimensional shaped object facing away from the base surface in such a way that the flowable second material is transferred from the transfer body to the surface of the topmost solidified material layer of the three-dimensional shaped object and forms the further material layer on the surface of the topmost solidified material layer of the three-dimensional shaped object, the structure of which further layer corresponds to the structure of the topmost solidified material layer of the three-dimensional shaped object. The further material layer is likewise solidified.
