Object shoveling mechanism, 3D printer and 3D printing method

Abstract

The disclosure provides an object shoveling mechanism, a 3D printer and a 3D printing method, and relates to the technical field of printing. The object shoveling mechanism is applied to the 3D printer. The 3D printer includes a forming platform, provided with a forming surface. The object shoveling mechanism includes an object shoveling assembly and an object receiving assembly, wherein the object shoveling assembly includes a shoveling tool and an object shoveling driving assembly, the shoveling tool being configured to strip a printed object from the forming surface, and the object shoveling driving assembly being configured to drive at least one of the shoveling tool and the forming platform, so that the shoveling tool and the forming platform move relatively to strip the printed object from the forming surface through the shoveling tool; and the object receiving assembly includes a carrying element and an object receiving driving assembly, wherein the carrying element is provided with an object receiving position and configured to receive the printed object remove from the forming surface at the object receiving position, and the object receiving driving assembly is configured to drive the carrying element to move to the object receiving position. According to the object shoveling mechanism, the printer may operate unattended, the labor cost is reduced, and the printing efficiency is improved.
