Abstract
Disclosed is 3D printer that may precisely irradiate a laser to a spot where the laser is to be irradiated so that a precise three-dimensional product may be output, and prevent a temperature deviation from occurring inside a case including a product forming chamber to improve the quality of the output product, and increase the durability of the output product by enhancing the binding force between powder and powder applied to an output bed and maximizing the melting of the powder.
Claims20
A 3D printer having a binder jetting unit comprising:
- a powder supplying unit configured to accommodate a powder therein and supply the powder for forming a product;
- and
- a product forming unit located at one side of the powder supplying unit to irradiate a laser to the powder supplied from the powder supplying unit and sinter the powder so that a 3D product is formed,
- wherein the powder supplying unit for supplying the powder is disposed at an upper portion of one side of an output bed of the product forming unit, and a binder jetting unit is disposed at an upper portion of the other side of the output bed, which is opposite to the powder supplying unit, to discharge a binder only to a region to which laser is to be irradiated to melt the powder,
- wherein the powder supplying unit supplies the powder to the output bed while moving from one side to the other side of the output bed and then stops, the powder supplying unit and the binder jetting unit located at the other side of the output bed move together from the other side to one side of the output bed and stop after discharging the binder to a powder region in which the powder is to be melted in a state where the powder supplying unit stops the supply of powder, and a laser is irradiated to the powder region to which the binder is discharged so that the powder is melted and sintered, the above processes being repeated to output a final product.
