現今從工業到民生常見的三維列印機器(RepRap、3D printer),使用的增材製造方法多以熔融沈積成型(Fused deposition modeling, FDM)技術為主。此技術廣泛應用在設計領域,但卻因為機具和材料等列印限制,常只能當作原型打樣使用,而缺乏更多設計上的應用。 非沉積列印(線列印)是一種更好的印刷方法,它部分改善了FDM缺點,降低了材料和時間成本,對於材料和對應機具使用的多樣性增加,且在製造流程中有更多設計應用的切入點。本研究的目的是開發一種方法,可以在三維空間中有效地生成線段和路徑,以及如何透過簡單地使用參數化軟體,將數位模型轉換為三維列印機和機器人的數控編成語言(G-code),並以多種材料實驗和工具設計來製造。 研究主要分為三個部分: 第一是研究G-code和線性列印的關係與系統發展;第二是參數化和優化G-code生成的工法流程,再傳送到數位機具製造,如3D印表機等工具。第三是嘗試利用不同媒材和不同工具,紀錄參數化路徑製造的實驗及研究過程,並對於此技術的總結和未來應用探討。 研究過程中,利用常見的3D列印機和六軸機械手臂等數位工具,去做線列印實驗,藉由陶土材料、熱塑材料和複合材料等數個實驗,材料與製造技術相結合的絲綢成型方法,使建築師和設計師在未來的工程和施工方法上有更多的應用和開發。 此研究的重要性在於,利用簡單的參數化編輯軟體即可以任意操作3D印表機或是機械手臂列印擠出頭,來製造出自由定位且連續的路徑,取代過去傳統(熱融)沉積列印的產品工法的缺點。
Today's three-dimensional printing machines (RepRap, 3D printer), which are common in industry to people's livelihood, use FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology mainly. This technology is widely used in the design. However, because of the printing restrictions of equipment and materials, it can often only be used as a prototype proofing, and lacks more design applications. Wireprint is a better printing method which partially improves the shortcomings of FDM, reduces material and time costs, increases the variety of materials and corresponding implements, and has more opportunities for design applications in the manufacturing process. The purpose of this study is to develop a method for efficiently generating the line segments and paths in three-dimensional space, and to convert a digital model into a G-code for a 3D printer and robotic arms by using parametric software (Grasshopper) simply, manufactured with a variety of material experiments and tool designs. The research is mainly divided into three parts. The first is about the method of parameterizing the generated paths and the conversion of g-code to the wireprint.; the second is to parameterize and optimize the G-code generated process flow, and then transfer it to digital machine manufacturing, such as 3D printing. Tools such as a watch machine. The third is to try to use different media and different tools to record the experimental and research process of parametric path manufacturing, and to discuss the summary and future application of this technology. During the research, using the 3D printing machine and six-axis robotic arm to do Wireprint experiments, through several experiments such as clay materials, thermoplastic materials and composite materials. The combination of materials and manufacturing technology silk molding method, make architects and designer more capability research and develop on works and construction method in the future. The importance of this research is that with a simple parametric editing software, you can manipulate the 3D printer or the robotic arm to print the extrusion head to create a freely positioned and continuous path that replaces the traditional (hot melt) deposition. The shortcomings of the printed product method.
