Many users have become familiar with the possibilities of volumetric image transfer for a long time. The so-called "stereo cinemas" appeared at the end of the last century. Over time, the quality of these technologies has expanded to the level of creating not only visual volumetric images, but also quite tangible objects, parts or complex building (finishing) materials, for more information about the capabilities of 3D printers on the site https://3ddevice.com.ua 3DDevice company, specializing in 3D printing, scanning and supplying 3D printers and 3D scanners. And how and by what means this equipment works, we will analyze using the example of a printer for printing products from polymers (plastic).
Schematic diagram of work and consumables
The name "printer", this type of equipment received due to the use in its operation of the software installed on the computer, containing the volumetric parameters of the future part. It is through it that the movement of the print head is controlled, which:
- Docked to guides that allow it to move in any direction around the desktop.
- Powered by stepper motors.
- Passes through itself the consumables necessary in color and in the specified volumes for "growing" the part being manufactured.
A separate item should be noted (as in any other classic printer) consumables used to operate the device. In the variant of making plastic products, they are:
- A set of spools of a fixed size.
- Colored polymer threads wound on spools (each color on a separate spool).
- A special head through which the filament passes and is melted to a liquid state before being fed to the work table to form the part.
You can get more complete information about the types and technical capabilities of 3D printers, as well as consumables for it, using the official website of the supplier of this equipment to the domestic market. All models and components (parts, spare parts) presented in the online catalog of the resource have quality guarantees from well-known manufacturers.
