Novel Structure and Expression of Printing Path for 3D Printing in Rapid Prototyping

摘要

Additive manufacturing (AM), commonly known as three-dimensional (3D) printing, refers to a method of rapid prototyping through material stacking. In the field of human-computer interaction, many researchers have used technology to realise rapid prototyping, such as printing parts, mechanical structures and product shells. Some researchers have explored interactive product manufacturing based on AM, such as flexible electronic fabric, four-dimensional self-forming structure and conductive ink. Most of these studies reformed the printing nozzle and printing materials on the basis of the traditional fused deposition modelling 3D printer, but the research on the printing path is still in the initial stage in the exploration of new interactive product manufacturing. Accordingly, this paper focuses on interactive manufacturing technology and the innovations of printing paths and parameters. The results are hoped to provide inspiration for future interactive manufacturing.
