3D模型創(chuàng)建

3D model creation

由于實(shí)現(xiàn)快速成型的系統(tǒng)只能接受計(jì)算機(jī)構(gòu)建的產(chǎn)品的三維模型（立體圖），然后才能進(jìn)行切片加工，所以要在計(jì)算機(jī)上實(shí)現(xiàn)設(shè)計(jì)思想的數(shù)字化，即即，將產(chǎn)品的形狀、特性等數(shù)據(jù)輸入計(jì)算機(jī)。目前，快速成型機(jī)的數(shù)據(jù)輸入主要有兩種方式：

Because the rapid prototyping system can only accept the three-dimensional model (stereogram) of the product built by the computer, and then can carry out slicing processing, it is first necessary to digitize the design idea on the computer, that is, input the shape, characteristics and other data of the product into the computer. At present, there are two main methods for data input of rapid prototyping machine:

一是設(shè)計(jì)人員利用計(jì)算機(jī)輔助設(shè)計(jì)軟件（如Pro/Engineering、SolidWorks、IDEAS、MDT、AutoCAD等）根據(jù)產(chǎn)品要求設(shè)計(jì)3D模型，或?qū)F(xiàn)有產(chǎn)品的2D和3D視圖轉(zhuǎn)換為3D模型；

First, designers use computer-aided design software (such as pro/engineering, Solidworks, ideas, MDT, AutoCAD, etc.) to design 3D models according to product requirements, or convert 2D and 3D views of existing products into 3D models;

另一種是將現(xiàn)有對(duì)象數(shù)字化，可以是手工模型、手工藝品，也可以是人體器官。這些物體的形狀信息可以通過(guò)3D數(shù)字化儀、CT和MRI等手段進(jìn)行采集和處理，然后通過(guò)相應(yīng)的軟件將獲得的形狀信息等數(shù)據(jù)轉(zhuǎn)化為快速成型機(jī)能夠接受的輸入數(shù)據(jù)。

The other is to digitize the existing objects, which can be manual models, handicrafts, or human organs. The shape information of these objects can be collected and processed by means of 3D digitizer, CT and MRI, and then the obtained shape information and other data can be transformed into input data that can be accepted by the rapid prototyping machine through corresponding software.

3D模型的近似處理

Approximate treatment of 3D model

由于產(chǎn)品上經(jīng)常有一些不規(guī)則的自由曲面，在加工前必須進(jìn)行近似。在目前的快速成型系統(tǒng)中，常用的逼近方法是用一系列小三角形平面來(lái)逼近自由曲面。其中，每個(gè)三角形由3個(gè)頂點(diǎn)的坐標(biāo)和一個(gè)法線(xiàn)相量來(lái)描述。

Because there are often some irregular free-form surfaces on the products, they must be approximated before machining. In the current rapid prototyping system, the common approximation method is to use a series of small triangular planes to approximate the free-form surface. Each triangle is described by the coordinates of three vertices and a normal phasor.

可以選擇三角形的大小以獲得不同的曲面逼近精度。經(jīng)過(guò)上述近似處理后的3D模型文件稱(chēng)為STL格式文件（很多CAD軟件都提供此功能，如Pro/Engineering、SolidWorks、IDEAS、AutoCAD、MDT等），由一系列相連的空間三角形組成。

You can select the size of the triangle to obtain different surface approximation accuracy. The 3D model file after the above approximate processing is called STL format file (many CAD software provide this function, such as pro/engineering, Solidworks, ideas, AutoCAD, MDT, etc.), which is composed of a series of connected spatial triangles.

典型的計(jì)算機(jī)輔助設(shè)計(jì)具有用于轉(zhuǎn)換和輸出STL格式文件的接口。但是，有時(shí)輸出的三角形會(huì)有少量誤差，需要在本地進(jìn)行修改。

A typical CAD has an interface for converting and outputting STL format files. However, sometimes the output triangles have a small amount of error and need to be modified locally.

切片3D模型

Slice 3D model

山東快速成型提醒您，由于快速成型是逐層斷面輪廓加工的，所以在加工前需要將三維模型沿成型高度方向每隔一定的間隔進(jìn)行切片，以便提取橫截面的輪廓。

Shandong rapid prototyping reminds you that since rapid prototyping is processed layer by layer, it is necessary to slice the 3D model at certain intervals along the molding height direction before processing, so as to extract the profile of the cross section.

間隔的大小根據(jù)成型零件的精度和生產(chǎn)率的要求來(lái)選擇。間隔越小，精度越高，成型時(shí)間越長(zhǎng)；相當(dāng)光滑的成型表面。切片間隔選定后，每層疊加的材料厚度應(yīng)與之相適應(yīng)。各種快速成型系統(tǒng)都配備了切片軟件，可以自動(dòng)提取模型的橫截面輪廓。

The size of the interval is selected according to the accuracy and productivity requirements of the formed parts. The smaller the interval, the higher the precision and the longer the forming time; Fairly smooth formed surface. After the slice interval is selected, the superimposed material thickness of each layer shall adapt to it. Various rapid prototyping systems are equipped with slicing software, which can automatically extract the cross-sectional profile of the model.
