Multi material photopolymerization 3D/4D printing system: microCube M150

In view of the core problems faced by traditional printing equipment, such as poor compatibility of multiple materials, insufficient molding accuracy, and difficult integration of multiple functions, M150 (optical accuracy: 25 μ m) supports the integrated molding of multi-functional materials such as hard resin, elastomer, hydrogel, shape memory polymer, and conductive elastomer. Its 4D printing solution meets the needs of complex precision scenarios such as biomedicine, soft robotics, aerospace, etc., successfully achieving a leapfrog upgrade from single precision machining capability to intelligent material integration application capability.

Technical core: Centrifugal 4D printing technology

Based on centrifugal light curing multi material 4D printing technology, precise curing molding is achieved by projecting a 405nm wavelength UV LED light source onto the liquid surface of functional materials. The high-speed centrifugal effect of the printing platform is used to efficiently remove residual materials, successfully breaking through the technical bottleneck of dynamic switching of multiple materials and residual liquid removal. Through technological collaboration, the two core challenges of microstructure accuracy control and intelligent material adaptation that have long existed in the field of 4D printing have been effectively solved, enabling the equipment to have the ability to print multiple materials within/between layers, ultimately achieving integrated molding of high complexity, high precision, multifunctional, and multi material coupled structure products.
