A Seminar Ultra Violet Curing Based 3D Printer: Sri J. Bhaskar

The document discusses ultraviolet (UV) curing based 3D printing. It provides a brief history of additive manufacturing, including the invention of stereolithography in 1984. It then describes the working principle and process of UV curing 3D printers, which use a UV laser to solidify liquid resin into layers to build a 3D object. Some advantages of UV curing 3D printing are high speed, versatility in shapes and materials, and strong prototypes. Applications include engineering, dental, healthcare and more. Challenges include reducing costs and improving surface finish and tolerances.

Introduction

• 3D printing or the additive manufacturing (AM) is


the process for making a three-dimensional object of
almost any shape from a 3D model designed in CAD
software or its replica.
• Additive Manufacturing refers to a process in which
material is added in the form of layers to get the
required product.
• Instead of milling a work-piece from solid block,
Additive Manufacturing builds up components layer
by layer using materials which are available in fine
powder form.
History

• Early AM equipment and materials were developed in 1980s.


• In 1984,Chuck Hull of 3D Systems Corp, invented a process
known as stereo lithography employing lasers to cure
photopolymers.

Technology
Year
1970 Modern photolithographic AM systems.
Radiation produce a phase change in material to
1971 build 3D objects.
1980 Automatic method for fabricating 3D models .
Design two sets of apparatus for producing
1984 replicas of solid objects, in a layer-by-layer way,
using a photosensitive polymer.
Classification of Additive Manufacturing
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) classified
AM into three categories:
Additive
Manufacturing

Solid Based Powder Based Liquid Based


System System System

Fused Electron Beam Stereo-


Direct Light
Deposition Fabrication lithography

Stereolithography(SLA)

 Stereolithography is an
additive manufacturing
process which employs a vat
of liquid ultraviolet curable
photopolymer "resin" and
an ultraviolet laser to build
parts' layers one at a time.
 In this process
polymerisation technique is
used to create a solid model
from liquid resin.

Stereolithography(SLA)

• CAD (Computer Aided Design)


Programs help users create STL
Files for the 3D Printers to read.
• STL (Standard Triangle
Language) file format – a file
format which uses many little
triangles to make a 3
dimensional plot of the objects
intended surface.

UV Light

Fig:- Design of UV 3D Printer

The liquid resin is solidified through a process called photopolymerization


during solidification, the monomer carbon chains that compose the liquid
resin are activated by the light of the UV laser and become solid.

IDEA 3D MODELLING SLICING UPLOAD


New idea for Use a modelling(CAD) Using a slicer Transfer 3D model
product which and create design software (repetier) to file to 3D printer(in
going to print slice and creating G- .STL format)
codes

PRINT UV LIGHT SETUP RESINS


Start printing Wavelength of 250 to 450 Turn ON printer Vat

REMOVE POST PROCESSING


When printer stops, Remove supports,
remove model from Smoothen And paint it

Materials used for UV Printing

 VeroWhitePlus (RGD835)
• Curing wavelength: 405 nm
• Curing time: 6-10 s
• Curing between 355-420nm
 TangoBlackPlus (FLX980) and
• Curing wavelength: 417 nm
• Curing time: 5-15 s
• Curing between: 380-425
 VeroClear (RGD810)
• Curing wavelength: 422nm
• Curing time: 8-10 s
• Curing between: 320-435
Advantages

 SLA is having a high speed processing and fabrication.


 Stereolithography can produce a wide variety of shapes.
 UV light effectively grows a component in the bath so that as it
is withdrawn, each successive layer is light cured that makes
SLA many times faster than other 3D printing technologies.
 Prototypes made by stereolithography are strong enough to be
machined.
 Multi-part assemblies are possible.
 UV light curing makes safer use as compare to laser curing.
 No chance of cavity formation in UV light curing due to its
dense focus.

Challenges

Reducing cost may have a significant effect on the


adoption of AM technologies in terms of quality,
performance validation, and expanding size
capabilities .
Certain product design can be restricted due to
material limitations, validation and certification.
Surface finish and dimensional tolerances are still
important issues that need further innovation in AM
machines.
