Mr. Kiyoshi Yamaguchi

I will explain the basic technology of resin 3D printers. In addition, I will explain the relationship between each method of 3D printer and the materials that can be used. Why does simple FDM (MEX) printing fail with ABS even though success with PLA ? I answer these questions that we usually feel when using a 3D printer.

In stereolithographic additive manufacturing, 2-D cross sections were created through photo polymerization by UV laser drawing on spread resin paste including nanoparticles, and 3-D models were sterically printed by layer lamination. As the row material of the 3-D printing, nanometer sized metal and ceramic particles were dispersed into acrylic liquid resins. The resin paste was spread on a glass substrate by a mechanically moved knife edge. An ultraviolet laser beam scanned on the spread resin surface. The composite precursors including nanoparticles were dewaxed and sintered in the air atmosphere. Through computer-aided smart manufacturing, design, and evaluation (Smart MADE), practical material components were fabricated to modulate energy and material transfers in potential fields between human societies and natural environments as active contributions to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
