Solid Ground Curing Process :

Cubital Machine :

The highlighted features of cubital machine over the FDM or Stereolithography are fastest making of models with huge volume of production at the same time. The main process in making of model is successive layers of liquid photo polymer resins which are cured using the UV light .

Here we are including the line diagram of the Solid Ground Curing macinesolider _4600).

Constructional Details :

The cubital machine contains the following parts :

Polymer spreader:

This infects the liquid polymer resin with the help of high compressed air .

Electrical charging :

This is linked with software which manipulates the object boundary at each and every layeer .

Mask developer:

It is a device which gives the block like coathin on the plate on which the plate covers with the coating except from the profile boundary .

Mask erasure:

It is used to erase the mask from the plate when the process iteration is over .

Wax platform:

The is a table like structure on which the polymer layer to be deposited.

Residual Polymer cleaner:

This is a sort of arrangement to suck the wasted polymer from the table after the layer boundary is solidified with the help of UV light .

Wax spreader :

This pours the wax where ever required on the table up to the depth of the layer polymer .

Wax cooling plate:

This cools the entire object layer along with the wax .

Milling head:

This is a cutter which cuts the portion upon the layer to finish the layer surfac to pour the polymer in the second run .

UV light arrangement:

It is an arangement which we use to solidify the layer.

ADVANTAGES:

Ideal technology for short production runs .

Volume of the production environment is as big as what we get from Stereolithography. Dimensional accuracy is good .

It has got ability to the layer by layer of 0.1 mm thickness .

DISADVANTAGES :

Apart from the advantages it has also some disadvantages such as when the liquid polymer solidifies thes some wax also gets entrapped in the artifact.

Space requirement is also less.

Cost is also reasonably high when compared to FDM machine .
