Virtual 3D Ink-Jet Printing System for Heterogeneous Object

Article Preview

Abstract:

3D ink-jet printing is regarded as the ideal manufacturing technology for Heterogeneous Object(HO) materials, but this technology is much restricted by the high requirement on idealized materials, high forming cost and imperfect modeling and layering technology for HO. To solve these problems, a virtual 3D ink-jet printing system for simulation of HO fabrication is developed in this paper. Since the physical model is replaced by the digital model, the potential risk will be avoided effectively and it will result in higher product quality and much lower manufacturing cost. Finally, examples of the virtual formed prototypes are given.
