Abstract

In a process for producing a three-dimensional object in which individual layers of the object are secured to a curable material by the effect of electromagnetic radiation, the stability and the temperature resistance of the object are to be improved. This aim is attained by the invention in that a filler in the form of ceramic or metal powder is added to the material.

Description

Verfahren zum Herstellen eines dreidimensionalen Objekts Method of making a three-dimensional object

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Ob¬ jekts nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a method for producing an object according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein derartiges Verfahren ist beispielsweise aus der EP-A-0 171 069 bekannt. Hierbei wird über einem Träger in einem Bad aus flüssigem, polymerisierbaren Kunststoff eine flüssige Kunststoffschicht gebildet, die danach an dem Objekt entspre¬ chenden Stellen durch Bestrahlen mit einem Laserstrahl polymerisiert und damit verfestigt wird. Dieser Vorgang wird für jede Schicht wiederholt, wobei die Polymerisation jeder folgenden Schicht gleichzeitig eine Befestigung an der darun¬ terliegenden Schicht bewirkt. Nach der Verfestigung aller Schichten wird das Objekt gegebenfalls nachgehärtet.Such a method is known for example from EP-A-0 171 069. In this case, a liquid plastic layer is formed over a carrier in a bath made of liquid, polymerizable plastic, which is then polymerized at the corresponding points on the object by irradiation with a laser beam and thus solidified. This process is repeated for each layer, the polymerization of each subsequent layer simultaneously affixing it to the layer underneath. After all layers have solidified, the object is hardened if necessary.

Damit wird nach der bekannten Methode ein Objekt aus polymerisiertem Kunststoff erhalten. Dieses Material genügt jedoch oft aufgrund seiner geringen Festigkeit und Temperaturbeständigkeit nicht den Anforderungen der Praxis.An object made of polymerized plastic is thus obtained according to the known method. However, this material often does not meet practical requirements due to its low strength and temperature resistance.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, ein Verfahren zu schaf¬ fen, mit dem die Materialeigenschaften des Objekts, insbeson¬ dere dessen Festigkeit, Temperaturbeständigkeit und Oberflä- chenbeschaffenheit, verbessert werden können.The object of the invention is therefore to create a method by means of which the material properties of the object, in particular its strength, temperature resistance and surface quality, can be improved.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch das in Anspruch 1 gekennzeichnete Verfahren gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention by the method characterized in claim 1.

Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen ge¬ kennzeichnet. Die Erfindung wird im weiteren anhand eines Ausführungsbei- spiels im Zusammenhang mit der Figur beschrieben, die eine schematische Darstellung der für die Durchführung des Verfahrens geeigneten Arbeitsstationen zeigt.Developments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims. The invention is described below on the basis of an exemplary embodiment in connection with the figure, which shows a schematic representation of the workstations suitable for carrying out the method.

In einer ersten Arbeitsstation 1 wird ein polymerisierbarer Kunststoff 2 und ein Füllmaterial 3 beispielsweise durch Rüh¬ ren 4 zu einer homogenen Mischung 5 verarbeitet. Als Kunst¬ stoff kommt jedes flüssige oder pulverförmige Material in Frage, das durch Einwirkung elektromagnetischer Strahlung verfestigt werden kann. Beispiele hierzu finden sich in der obengenannten EP-A-0 171 069. Als Füllmaterial wird Keramik¬ oder Metallpulver verwendet, vorzugsweise Aluminiumoxid, tetragonales Zirkonoxid oder Siliciumnitrid als Keramikpulver und Carbonyleisen entweder rein oder mit einem Zusatz von 1-10%, vorzugsweise etwa 2 oder 8% Nickel oder ein Stahlpul¬ ver aus X2 Cr Ni Mo 17 13 2 oder X2 Cr 17 als Metallpulver.In a first work station 1, a polymerizable plastic 2 and a filling material 3 are processed into a homogeneous mixture 5, for example by stirring 4. Any liquid or powder material that can be solidified by the action of electromagnetic radiation can be considered as plastic. Examples of this can be found in the above-mentioned EP-A-0 171 069. Ceramic or metal powder is used as filler material, preferably aluminum oxide, tetragonal zirconium oxide or silicon nitride as ceramic powder and carbonyl iron either pure or with an addition of 1-10%, preferably about 2 or 8% nickel or a steel powder made of X2 Cr Ni Mo 17 13 2 or X2 Cr 17 as metal powder.

Das in der Station 1 erzeugte flüssige oder pastenförmige Mischmaterial 5 wird in der zweiten Arbeitsstation 6 in einen Behälter 7 eingefüllt, in dem ein Träger 8 angeordnet ist. Der Träger 8 ist so positionierbar, daß zwischen seiner Ober¬ fläche und der Oberfläche des eingefüllten Mischmaterials 5 eine Schicht des Mischmaterials 5 mit einer vorgegebenen Dicke vorliegt; diese Schicht wird mittels eines von einem Laser 9 erzeugten und über eine Umlenkeinrichtung 10 gesteu¬ erten Laserstrahls an vorgegebenen, dem Objekt entsprechenden Stellen bestrahlt, wodurch das Kunststoffmaterial um die darin eingeschlossenen Füllmaterialkörner polymerisiert bzw. sintert und so eine der Form des Objekts entsprechende feste Schicht bildet. Das gesamte Objekt 11 wird in gleicher Weise aus einer Mehrzahl solcher Schichten gebildet.The liquid or pasty mixing material 5 produced in the station 1 is filled in the second work station 6 into a container 7 in which a carrier 8 is arranged. The carrier 8 can be positioned in such a way that a layer of the mixed material 5 with a predetermined thickness is present between its surface and the surface of the mixed material 5 filled; this layer is irradiated by means of a laser beam generated by a laser 9 and controlled by a deflection device 10 at predetermined locations corresponding to the object, as a result of which the plastic material polymerizes or sinters around the filling material grains enclosed therein and thus a solid layer corresponding to the shape of the object forms. The entire object 11 is formed in the same way from a plurality of such layers.

Nach der Verfestigung der letzten Schicht in der Arbeitssta¬ tion 6 wird das Objekt 11 daraus entfernt und von Resten des noch flüssigen bzw. pulverförmigen Mischmaterials befreit. Danach wird das Objekt 11 in einer dritten Arbeitsstation 12 in einen mit einer Heizung 14 versehenen Ofen 13 gebracht und dort zum Entfernen des Kunststoffmaterials 2 erhitzt. Dieses Entfernen kann beispielsweise thermisch erfolgen, wobei das Objekt 11 soweit erhitzt wird, daß das Material 2 verdampft; vorzugsweise erfolgt dieses Entfernen jedoch katalytisch, wo¬ bei das Kunststoff aterial durch Erwärmen auf etwa 110-140°C unter dem Einfluß einer durch eine Gaszufuhr 15 zugeführten Gasmischung aus Stickstoff und wenigen Prozent gasförmiger Salpetersäure zersetzt wird. Die Zersetzung verläuft dabei von außen nach innen, sodaß sich kein Innendruck aufbauen und das Objekt 11 zerstören kann.After the last layer has solidified in the work station 6, the object 11 is removed therefrom and residues of the still liquid or powdery mixed material are removed. The object 11 is then in a third work station 12 brought into a heater 13 provided with a heater 14 and heated there to remove the plastic material 2. This removal can take place, for example, thermally, the object 11 being heated to such an extent that the material 2 evaporates; However, this removal is preferably carried out catalytically, the plastic being decomposed aterially by heating to about 110-140 ° C. under the influence of a gas mixture of nitrogen and a few percent gaseous nitric acid supplied by a gas supply 15. The decomposition runs from the outside in, so that no internal pressure builds up and can destroy the object 11.

Nach dem Entfernen des Kunststoffmaterials 2 in der Arbeit¬ station 12 verbleibt ein nur aus dem zusammenhaftenden pulverförmigen Füllmaterial bestehendes Objekt 11. Dieses Ob¬ jekt wird in einer vierten Arbeitsstation 16 in einen Sinterofen 17 eingebracht und dort bei einer dem Füllmaterial entsprechenden Temperatur gesintert, sodaß eine gewünschte Festigkeit und Oberflächengüte erreicht wird.After the removal of the plastic material 2 in the work station 12, there remains an object 11 consisting only of the powdery filling material adhering together. This object is introduced into a sintering furnace 17 in a fourth work station 16 and sintered there at a temperature corresponding to the filling material, so that a desired strength and surface quality is achieved.

Bei der Verfestigung des Objekts wird der Lichtstrahl an der Oberfläche des Füllmaterials 3 gestreut, sodaß sich keine scharfe Grenze von verfestigtem zu nicht verfestigtem Mate¬ rial einstellt. Der üblicherweise bei stereographischen Ver¬ fahren auftretende "Treppeneffekt" der Oberfläche aufgrund des schichtweisen Aufbaus wird daher vermieden bzw. ist stark verringert und die Oberflächengüte ist erheblich verbessert. Besonders deutlich ist diese Verbesserung bei keramischem Füllmaterial.When the object is solidified, the light beam is scattered on the surface of the filling material 3, so that there is no sharp boundary between solidified and non-solidified material. The "step effect" of the surface which usually occurs in stereographic processes due to the layered structure is therefore avoided or is greatly reduced and the surface quality is considerably improved. This improvement is particularly evident with ceramic filling material.

Erfindungsgemäß ist es auch möglich, anstelle einer Mischung von flüssigem Kunststoff und pulverförmigem Füllmaterial so¬ wohl pulverförmigen Kunststoff mit pulverförmigem Füllmate¬ rial als auch kunststoffummanteltes Füllmaterial in Pulver¬ form zu verwenden. Im letzteren Fall entfällt dann der Mischvorgang. According to the invention, it is also possible to use both powdered plastic with powdered filling material and plastic-coated filling material in powder form instead of a mixture of liquid plastic and powdered filling material. In the latter case, the mixing process is then omitted.
