後固化設定

樹脂材料列印品需以 UV 光進行後固化,將確保樹脂成份完全固化,使此材料展現應有的機械性質。此後處理製程對於功能性樹脂特別重要,尤其是脫臘鑄造用樹脂與工程用途樹脂。

使用 XYZprinting UV 固化機後固化 XYZprinting 原廠樹脂時,請參照以下固化設定:

脫蠟鑄造用樹脂 (F1)

適用機種:Nobel Superfine

脫蠟鑄造用樹脂性質似蠟,加熱後無灰燼殘留,可直接脫蠟鑄造,能節省傳統工藝的蠟雕程序。

圖檔設計建議

脫蠟鑄造用樹脂性質似蠟、結構較軟脆,在列印的過程中特別容易受到分層的拉扯而斷裂。為達最佳列印效果,建議考量以下設計原則:

» 壁厚 ≥ 0.4mm

» 開孔尺寸 ≥1.0mm

» 部件間隙 ≥0.4mm

» 其餘結構之設計建議請參考這篇文章

說明
» 請避免以尖銳物接觸樹脂槽底部,以免破壞表面塗層,進而影響列印品質。

列印設定建議

如同使用一般樹脂列印,圖檔具有懸空結構,或是與平臺接觸面積小時,需要增加支撐結構,確保物件能完整列印。列印軟體 XYZware_Nobel 具備「自動支撐」功能,能分析圖檔結構,自動生成支撐結構。有時候您可能會需要使用「手動」模式增加支撐,讓模型的所有結構都能完整成型。

支撐功能之使用說明請參考這篇文章

如果遇到列印失敗的情形,請移動擺放位置、調整角度與支撐結構的設定。

脫蠟過程溫度控制

使用本脫蠟鑄造用樹脂進行澆鑄時,可依照下圖的溫度控制建議操作,使樹脂確實脫蠟,確保翻模品表面光滑無瑕。

後處理建議

清洗

從平臺取下列印品後,請以濃度95%以上的酒精清潔。清洗過程中,建議以撈網撈住列印品,並在酒精中晃動撈網,有助於洗淨表面殘留的樹脂。

針對細節區域,建議以噴瓶噴灑酒精,可有效清除細節內的未固化樹脂。

清洗後取出列印品、靜待表面酒精揮發。

注意
» 由於本樹脂性質較軟,請避免以刷子刷洗列印品,以免破壞列印品表面的平整度。
» 避免將列印品浸泡在酒精中超過10分鐘,以免酒精侵蝕構而造成列印品損壞。

風乾物體表面的酒精

清洗後的列印品表面會有酒精殘留,請靜置清洗後的列印品,確認酒精完全揮發再進行後固化。酒精風乾後,請仔細檢視細小結構中是否殘留樹脂;請務必清除未固化的樹脂,以免堵塞原始圖檔的設計細節。

注意
» 在列印品表面仍有酒精殘留的狀態下就進行後固化,物件表面將呈白霧狀,可能會影響翻模結果。

清除支撐

請使用工具剪除支撐,直接拉扯將造成列印品表面破損。

後固化

脫蠟鑄造用樹脂列印品必須經過UV後固化程序增加硬度,才能完整翻模。

將列印物件泡水後固化 5 分鐘,即可使樹脂成份完全反應。

參考
» 使用 XYZprinting UV 固化機時,建議將列印物件泡水照光 5 分鐘。
» UV波長 375~405nm、輻射強度 14 mW/cm² 條件下,針對結構厚度超過 7mm 的物件,建議照射UV光 5 分鐘。

樹脂保存建議

樹脂槽中未固化的樹脂應避免光線照射,可使用濾網過濾後倒入不透光的容器內保存,下次列印前再倒回樹脂槽中使用。

說明
» 建議使用不透光之 PP 材質容器保存樹脂。

Best Practice

To ensure the printing quality, check the following items before printing.

Filter the resin in tank

Sift any residue or cured debris from the platform and tank with the scraper, high-density filter or other tools. Resin can be reused after filtering.

Note
Filter the resin after every prints may ensure the stability of printing. 
Resin resided in the black filling tube may drip on the printer case. Please cover the opening of the tube with paper towel before removing the tank.

Clean the tank bottom

Mop the fingerprint or resin under the tank or on the glass with with lint-free cloth dampened with alcohol.

Clean the level sensor

Brush the level sensor with alcohol if it gets stuck.
Level sensor should return to the original position after a soft push. When the tank is full or the resin gets sticky, the sensor’s movement may be hindered greatly. Normally, it may take 1 minute for sensor to return. If stuck, remove the remaining resin from tank before cleaning. If resin in tank is cured, please replace the tank.

Platform calibration

Re-calibrate the platform after changing the platform or the tank. Make sure that the platform is paralleled with the tank.
Please note that platform calibration should be done with an empty tank.

Avoid cloudy area

Check if the tank is cloudy at where you place the model. Move the model away from the cloudy area in the software with the “Move” function. Replace the tank if the overall surface is cloudy.

Note
The placement on the virtual platform in the software is opposite to the actual placement in the tank. For models placed at the right side of the virtual
platform, they will be built on the left side of the tank.
Printing at the left side of the tank (right side on the virtual platform) will be less affected by the peeling force during build process.

Check for optimized setup

Optimize the placement and the support structure of the model with the ”Rotate”, “Support” and “Brim”functions in the software.

Rotate

For models of top-heavy structure, with less contact with the platform, or with any larger solid layer, please rotate the model to reduce the effect of peeling force during build process.

Support

For models of top-heavy structure, with overhanging parts or with less contact with the platform after rotated, please add support structures.

Tips
For larger overhanging parts, please choose the support structure with higher density and larger contact point.

Brim

One of the keys to successful printing on the bottom up type SL printer is to ensure the adhesion of the model to the platform. If rotating the model doesn’t increase the contact between the models and the platform greatly, please check “Brim” while exporting or printing the file. Also add “support” if necessary.

Avoid non-manifold geometry

For models with non-manifold geometry (black-highlighted in the software), please repair the models before printing.

Post-Processing

Post processing to printouts may be required

Remove Support Structure

Use pliers or other tools to remove the support structure from the cleaned prints to ensure perfect finish.

Empty Uncured Resin Inside the Prints

Hollow prints with uncured resin inside may break as time passes. To ensure the durability of hollow prints, leave a weep hole at the bottom of your 3D design, so you can empty the uncured resin easily.

Post-cure Prints for Optimal Results

The post-curing process maximizes the mechanical properties of resin-printed objects. It ensures the stable performance of functional resins and successful burnout of castable material. It’s essential for professionals such as dentists or jewelers. Post-cure with XYZprinting UV Curing Chamber is easy. Refer to the curing profile here.

User Interface

XYZware_Nobel is not only for printing, it also enables basic edits and printer setups. Below is the descriptions of all functions.

(A) Import

Import objects in .stl/.3ws/.3wn format.

Open the file browser and select the files to print.

Note
Only one 3ws or 3wn file is allowed on the workspace.
Tip 
You may also drag the files from a folder into XYZware_Nobel. To load more than one file, press Shift key while selecting the files and drag them into XYZware_Nobel.

(B) Export

Export the objects on the workspace to sliced file in 3wn format. Click here to read the description on each options.

(C) Save

Save as .stl or .3ws file.

Save all objects on the platform to a single stl/3ws file. Any adjustment to the size or placement of the objects will apply to the file.

(D) Print

Setup printing preference and send the objects for printing.

The options are the same as for the Export function. Click here to read the description on each options.

(E) Setting

Setup interface language, display units, printer type, printout scaling, light strength tuning and sign in as XYZprinting member. Click here to read the description on each options.

(F) About

Software and firmware version are displayed here.

To update software or printer firmware, please click in the update/upgrade button in this window. In this section, you can also find the contact information of XYZprinting in different regions.

Tip 
Apply printer firmware and XYZware_Nobel updates when prompt by the software for stable printing performance.

(G) Zoom

Zoom in/out the view.

Zoom in or out the platform to view the details of objects.

Tip
You can also zoom with the scroll wheel on the mouse.

(H) View

Switch views.

Switch views with a click to view objects from different angle.

Tip
You can also drag the mouse to rotate the view.

(I) Support

Add supports to overhangs on the models.

Support structure is required under overhangs. It prevents the falling for gravity and the deforming due to the peeling force during printing, and increases adhesion of the model to the platform. Click here to read more.

(J) Move

Move the object along the x, y, or z axis.

You can move the object by dragging the slider or inputting a value in the field by the slider.

Keyboard shortcut
Press and hold ALT key and drag the mouse to move the object horizontally.

(K) Rotate

Adjust the angle of the object around the x, y, or z axis.

Orientation is one of the keys to a successful print. For models of top-heavy structure, with less contact with the platform, or with any larger solid layer, please rotate the model to reduce the effect of peeling force during build process.

To rotate the model, drag the mouse over the circular slider or input the desired angle in center of the circular slider.

(L) Scale

Scale the object as you desire. The adjustment to the object on the platform will not affect the size of your original file.

To scale up or down the model, input the desired size on X, Y or Z axis, drag on the slider bar, or input the scale ratio directly.

Tip
To resize the whole model, be sure to check "Uniform". Unselect "Uniform" if you wish to make non-uniform scaling.

Select an object and click the option to delete it from the platform.

Keyboard shortcut
You can also press Delete key to remove the selected object from the platform.

(O) Printer Monitor

View printer status, including printing progress and the resin level in the resin cartridge.

“My Printer” window shows the information on the connected printer(s). However, only one connection is allowed. To switch to another printer, click “Connect” button below the target printer.

Note
"Wireless Setting" is only compatible with printer model Nobel Superfine.
