Definitions
- the invention relates to a substrate plate and an interchangeable container for a device for the layered application and selective solidification of a powdered construction material for the production of a three-dimensional object. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method and a device for unpacking a substrate plate and a three-dimensional object produced in an interchangeable container by applying layers by selective solidification of a powdered construction material.
- DE 10 2017 108 080 A1 discloses a method and a device for unpacking an object produced by applying it in layers. In a turning device, a swap body is positioned in an upright position. The swap body is then turned by the turning device into an emptying position for removing the unsolidified building material. The three-dimensional object is then unpacked, in that the construction material is removed from the interchangeable container by the force of its weight. The turning device is then returned to the starting position so that the swap body is in an upright position in order to remove it from the device for unpacking.
- DE 10 2013 223 407 A1 discloses a device for unpacking a three-dimensional object produced in an interchangeable container by applying it in layers and selectively solidifying it from a powdered construction material.
- the swap body is pushed into a rotating device.
- the turning device is then turned into an emptying position, so that the opening of the swap body points downwards.
- a vibration is applied to the interchangeable container from the outside.
- the invention is based on the object of providing a substrate plate and an interchangeable container for a device for applying in layers and selectively solidifying a powdered construction material for the production of a three-dimensional object, as well as a method and a device for unpacking on a substrate plate and in an interchangeable container by applying in layers and selectively Propose solidification of a powdered construction material produced three-dimensional object, whereby an increased degree of purification is achieved.
- a substrate plate in which an actuator that can be excited by a generator with vibrations is non-positively and/or positively connected to a substrate plate or to one with the Substrate plate related transmission element is connected.
- This non-positive and/or positive connection between the actuator and the substrate plate or the transmission element makes it possible for the vibrations excited by the actuator to be coupled directly into the substrate plate or the transmission element.
- This enables undamped transmission of the vibrations generated by the actuator to the substrate plate or the transmission element, resulting in improved depowdering of the building material still adhering to a rough surface of the three-dimensional object or in spaces between sections of the three-dimensional object.
- the three-dimensional object does not have to be blown off via nozzles or the introduction of a fluidized bed.
- the depowdering can reduce contamination of the environment during further handling of the three-dimensional object with non-solidified construction material.
- the actuator is mechanically firmly connected to the substrate plate or the transmission element.
- This mechanical connection is designed in such a way that the vibrations can be introduced directly into the substrate plate or into the transmission element.
- a play-free fastening of a sound conductor of the actuator to the substrate plate or to the transmission element is preferably provided.
- the actuator in particular a sound conductor of the actuator
- the actuator is connected to the substrate plate or the transmission element by screwing, clamping or bracing.
- a threaded hole can be provided in the substrate plate or the transmission element, into which the sound conductor of the actuator, which is preferably designed as a pin or plunger, can be screwed.
- Tensioning by means of a clamping claw or clamping via wedge surfaces can also be possible.
- the generator and the actuator are connected to one another with a high-frequency cable. As a result, the high-frequency vibrations generated by the generator, in particular ultrasonic vibrations, can be transmitted to the actuator, which couples these high-frequency vibrations to a sound conductor of the actuator, which is mechanically connected to the substrate plate or the transmission element.
- the actuator can be excited with a high frequency in a range from 30 to 40 kHz. This high-frequency excitation enables a particularly good depowdering of the three-dimensional object.
- an interchangeable container for a device for the layered application and selective solidification of a powdered construction material for the production of a three-dimensional object which comprises a construction cylinder in which a substrate plate on which the three-dimensional object is constructed can be moved up and down or in which the substrate plate, which is connected to a transmission element that points to the outside of the building cylinder, can be moved up and down together in the building cylinder, with at least one actuator on the substrate plate or on the actuator attached to the substrate plate, which can be excited by a generator with vibrations Transmission element non-positively and / or positively connected, in particular is connected.
- the object on which the invention is based is also achieved by a method for unpacking a three-dimensional object produced on a substrate plate by layer-by-layer application and selective solidification of a powdered construction material from the unsolidified construction material surrounding the object, in which a substrate plate according to one of the previous embodiments is converted into a Turning device is used and is rotated from an upright working position into an emptying position for unpacking the three-dimensional object by the weight of the construction material and in which, after the three-dimensional object has been unpacked, the at least one actuator is excited to oscillate by the generator for depowdering the three-dimensional object and that after the three-dimensional object has been depowdered, the substrate plate is returned to an upright working position for removal from the interchangeable container.
- the substrate plate or the transmission element which is preferably detachably connected to the substrate plate, is excited with an oscillation of 30 to 40 kHz.
- This high-frequency vibration leads to particularly good depowdering of the three-dimensional component. Due to the direct coupling of the vibrations into the substrate plate or the transmission element connected to the substrate plate, on the one hand the excited vibration is introduced directly and on the other hand the at least one seal arranged on the substrate plate or on the transmission element to the structural cylinder of the swap body dampens or eliminated.
- the at least one actuator after the introduction of the substrate plate in the turning device and the transfer of the substrate plate into the emptying position with the substrate plate or the with the substrate plate connected transmission element is non-positively and / or positively connected.
- the object on which the invention is based is also achieved by a method for unpacking a three-dimensional object produced in a swap body by layer-by-layer application and selective solidification of a powdered building material from the unsolidified building material surrounding the object, in which a turning device is equipped with the swap body in which the turning device is rotated from an upright working position into an emptying position for unpacking the three-dimensional object by the weight of the construction material, with a substrate plate that can be moved up and down in a construction cylinder of the interchangeable container or a transmission element connected to the substrate plate, both of which can be moved up and down in the construction cylinder can be moved away, is connected to at least one actuator in a non-positive and/or positive manner, the at least one actuator for depowdering the three-dimensional object being caused to vibrate by the generator will rain.
- the object on which the invention is based is also achieved by a device for unpacking a three-dimensional object produced on a substrate plate by layer-by-layer application and selective solidification of a powdered construction material, which has a turning device that picks up the substrate plate in an upright position and into an emptying position for removal of the unsolidified building material is transferred by its weight, the substrate plate being lifted up by the turning device and the at least one actuator is connected in a non-positive and/or positive manner to the substrate plate or to a transmission element provided on the substrate plate before or after the positioning of the substrate plate in the turning device, in particular after the transfer of the interchangeable container into the emptying position of the turning device, and after the unpacking of the three-dimensional object, ie after the removal of the unsolidified construction material by weight, can be controlled by the generator with vibrations for depowdering of the three-dimensional object.
- the non-positive and/or positive connection of the at least one actuator to the substrate plate or to the transmission element connected to the substrate plate makes it possible for only a small mass to be excited for depowdering of the three-dimensional object.
- the substrate plate acts as a transmitter of the directly coupled vibrations to the three-dimensional object, which is built directly on the substrate plate. The same applies to the direct coupling of the vibrations into the transmission element, which is connected to the substrate plate mechanically, for example, in particular by screw connections.
- the object on which the invention is based is also achieved by a device for unpacking a three-dimensional object produced in a swap body by layer-by-layer application and selective solidification of a powdered building material from the unsolidified building material surrounding the object, in which a swap body inserted into a turning device is removed from an upright working position into an emptying position for unpacking the unsolidified building material by weight and in which a substrate plate that can be moved up and down in the construction cylinder of the interchangeable container or a transmission element connected to the substrate plate, which can be moved up and down in the construction cylinder together with the substrate plate, with at least one actuator can be connected in a non-positive and/or positive manner and the at least one actuator for depowdering of the three-dimensional object can be controlled by the generator with vibrations.
- the vibrations can be coupled in directly via the actuator in order to achieve additional detachment of the construction material adhering to the three-dimensional object.
