After a long period of development, metal materials have penetrated into all aspects of life, especially in the field of industrial manufacturing, metal materials have very good mechanical strength, temperature resistance, aging resistance, dimensional stability are more excellent. But with the development of science and technology, various industries such as aerospace, automotive and other fields have increasingly high requirements for the use of materials to meet the premise of the use of performance, the application of materials also put forward new needs, such as lightweight, corrosion resistance, safety, etc.. With the development of the 3D printing industry, we can see that the application of 3D printing high-performance plastic scene is increasingly rich, more and more industries are through the 3D printing technology to solve the problems encountered in the manufacturing process, so through the 3D printing of high-performance plastic manufacturing in the end can replace the traditional process of manufacturing out of metal parts? In this issue, 3D printing technology reference will be from the material, process, design and performance of several aspects of the complete show. Types of additive manufacturing technologies There are many types of additive manufacturing processes, among which FFF/FDM 3D printing technology is known for its own flexibility and versatility. The molding principle of this technology is not complicated, as the plastic wire is melted and extruded through a high-temperature nozzle, and the wire is stacked, cooled, and cured on the printing platform to obtain a solid layer by layer. Because the raw materials used are based on plastics that have been developed for more than 120 years, the parts printed by the FFF/FDM process have different material options and functional characteristics for various environments, such as superior mechanical properties, temperature resistance, chemical resistance, friction resistance, etc. Classification of thermoplastic materials 01 Engineering plastics Now the market mainly uses FFF/FDM 3D printing materials, there are engineering materials and high-performance special materials. Among the common engineering plastics, PC has very good wear resistance, temperature resistance and oil resistance; ABS is only about one-half of the cost of PC, and has good processability and very good plating performance, which can realize vacuum lamination or painting process, and the space for post-processing is relatively large. In addition, among the engineering plastics, there is also nylon, which has very good rigidity, strength, wear resistance and oil resistance, generally used in a large number of automotive interior and exterior trim and air conditioning ventilation ducts and other scenarios, but because the nylon material is easy to absorb water, so its dimensional stability is relatively weak, moisture absorption will become soft, toughness becomes large. In the face of high moisture scenarios, we can consider adding carbon fiber, such as nylon 12 carbon fiber, which has an equilibrium moisture absorption rate of only about 0.6%, and can maintain a very stable performance in daily use scenarios. In addition, the stiffness, strength and dimensional stability of nylon carbon fiber material are better, which is suitable for some scenes with high requirements for dimensional accuracy, such as positioning tooling. 02 High performance special materials PPSU is resistant to hydrolysis, can withstand more than 100 steam sterilizations without damaging the mechanical properties, has excellent impact strength and is often used in medical devices with excellent results. ULTEM™ 1010 is preferred by many industries for its high strength, rigidity, wear resistance and dimensional stability at high temperatures, and is used in the electronics industry due to its excellent electrical properties, such as high temperature connectors and component holders. It is difficult to meet the requirements for light weight and flame resistance in the aerospace sector, ULTEM™ 9085 is suitable for making spare parts for aerospace components. How 3D printing thermoplastics can replace metals through structural optimization How can 3D printed thermoplastic parts be strength optimized for metal part replacement? There are several ways in which strength optimization can be achieved exactly. 01 Material side -Find the ideal material based on a large library of materials -Find the best performing materials from the market based on specified material properties 02 Process side -Improve the denseness or fill type of the printed model -Use larger nozzle sizes to achieve better interlayer strength -Adjust the printing direction of the sample to avoid overloading in the Z-direction -Increase shell thickness 03 Design side -Avoid stress concentration -Reduce the printing of fine structures, with secondary machining to achieve the final shape of the prototype -Topology optimization based on finite element analysis Performance differences between 3D printed plastic and metal parts 01 Flame resistance Usually, if the car can reduce the weight of 10%, then the fuel savings can reach 6-8%, the weight reduction of materials is significant for energy saving and emission reduction, but most of the ordinary engineering plastics are flammable, which will increase the safety risks, plastics with flame retardant capabilities have very good application prospects, especially in the field of new energy vehicles today, the innate insulation of plastics is a major advantage. 02 Chemical resistance Traditional manufacturing methods in order to meet the long-term use of metal materials in the friction conditions, usually using lubricants to reduce friction resistance, while increasing the risk of corrosion of materials. Plastics have inherent advantages in wear resistance, such as high-performance special plastics PEEK, with self-lubricating conditions and a relatively low coefficient of friction in the dry state, as well as good corrosion resistance, its chemical resistance is comparable to nickel steel, only dissolved in concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid and some other strong corrosive solvents. 03 than strength The most obvious difference between 3D printed plastic materials and metal is strength and heat resistance, as seen in the heat resistance curve, from ABS, which can withstand temperatures up to 80°C, to PEEK, which can withstand temperatures up to 260°C. Basically, they can meet the needs of everyday use in the environment. PEEK has some other better performance in the more demanding conditions of the space environment. In addition, for the fatigue strength of material applications, the concept of specific strength can be introduced, which is the ratio of strength to density and can be interpreted as a comparison of the strength of two materials under the same mass. Like PEEK and PEI these two materials, their specific strength has been comparable to steel, so even in some of the more heavily loaded application scenarios, you can use plastic instead of metal. 04 Surface resistance In conventional industrial production, the use of metal materials to produce tooling fixtures also has a very wide range of applications, but through the open-mold process to produce metal tooling time cycle is relatively long, the cost is also higher, which is also a more common need is anti-static. In this case, the use of plastic 3D printing to make tooling is also a very good choice. Some conventional engineering plastics, have a relatively high surface resistivity, which we know as insulating materials, so there is a risk of discharge in the production process. So can plastics also have some anti-static properties? The answer is yes. At present the mainstream way, is through the physical modification of plastic to achieve the effect of anti-static, such as the addition of carbon fiber, nanotubes, or even graphene in the raw materials, or choose some more moisture-absorbing materials, such as the aforementioned nylon material, it will improve the conductivity after moisture absorption, but will therefore sacrifice some precision.

PE is one of the most produced plastics, characterized by soft, non-toxic, inexpensive, easy processing, good chemical resistance, not easy to corrode, and difficult to print. Properties of PE plastics It has many types, commonly used LDPE (low density polyethylene) and HDPE (high density polyethylene), translucent plastic, low strength, specific gravity of 0.94g/cm3 (smaller than water); very low density LLDPE resin (density below 0.910g/cc, LLDPE and LDPE density are in 0.91-0.925 (between). LDPE is softer, (commonly known as soft glue) HDPE is commonly known as hard soft glue, it is harder than LDPE, is a semi-crystalline material, after molding shrinkage is high, between 1.5% to 4% poor light transmission, crystallinity is large, it is easy to environmental stress cracking phenomenon. The cracking phenomenon can be reduced by using materials with very low flow characteristics to reduce the internal stress. It is easily dissolved in hydrocarbon solvents when the temperature is higher than 60°C, but its resistance to dissolution is somewhat better than LDPE. The high crystallinity of HDPE results in high density, tensile strength, high temperature twist temperature, adhesion, and chemical stability. It has greater resistance to permeation than LDPE. PE-HD has a lower impact strength. Properties are mainly controlled by density and molecular weight distribution. The molecular weight distribution of HDPE suitable for injection molding is very narrow. For density of 0.91~0.925g/cm3, we call it the first type PE-HD; for density of 0.926~0.94g/cm3, it is called the second type HDPE; for density of 0.94~0.965g/cm3, it is called the third type HDPE. The material has good flow characteristics with MFR between 0.1 and 28. HDPE is susceptible to environmental stress cracking. HDPE is easily dissolved in hydrocarbon solvents when the temperature is above 60C, but its resistance to dissolution is better than LDPE. LDPE is a semi-crystalline material with a high shrinkage rate between 1.5% and 4% after molding. LLDPE's (linear low density polyethylene) higher resistance to elongation, penetration, impact and tearing makes LLDPE suitable for use as a film. Its excellent resistance to environmental stress cracking, low-temperature impact resistance and warpage resistance make LLDPE attractive for pipe, sheet extrusion and all molding applications. the latest application of LLDPE is as a ground film for landfill and waste liquid pond liners. Process characteristics of PE The most significant feature of PE parts is the molding shrinkage rate, easy to produce shrinkage and deformation. PE material is small water absorption, can be used without drying. PE processing temperature range is wide, not easy to decompose (decomposition temperature of 320 ℃), if the pressure is high, the parts of high density, shrinkage rate is small. PE liquidity is medium, to strictly control the processing conditions, and keep the mold temperature constant (40-60 ℃). the degree of crystallization of PE is related to the molding process conditions, it has a high cold solidification temperature, mold temperature is low, the degree of crystallization is low. In the crystallization process, due to the anisotropy of shrinkage, resulting in internal stress concentration, PE parts are prone to deformation and cracking. The product is put in a water bath of 80℃ hot water, which can make the pressure get some relaxation. During the molding process, the material temperature and mold temperature is higher than appropriate, the injection pressure is low under the premise of ensuring the quality of the parts, the cooling of the mold especially requires rapid and uniform, and the product is hotter when it is demolded. HDPE drying: no need to dry if stored properly. Melting temperature 220~260C. For materials with larger molecules, it is recommended that the melting temperature range is between 200~250C. Mold temperature: 50~95C. Higher mold temperature should be used for plastic parts with wall thickness below 6mm, and lower mold temperature for plastic parts with wall thickness above 6mm. The cooling temperature of plastic parts should be uniform to minimize the difference of shrinkage. For optimal cycle time, the cooling cavity diameter should be not less than 8mm and the distance from the mold surface should be within 1.3d (where "d" is the diameter of the cooling cavity). Injection pressure: 700~1050 bar. injection speed: high speed injection is recommended. Runners and gates: The runner diameter should be between 4 and 7.5 mm and the runner length should be as short as possible. Various types of gates can be used, the gate length should not exceed 0.75mm. especially suitable for molds with hot runners. LLDPE's "soft on stretch" characteristic is a drawback in the blown film process, as LLDPE blown film bubbles are not as stable as LDPE. The die gap must be widened to avoid lower yields due to high back pressure and melt breakage. Typical mold gap dimensions for LDPE and LLDPE are 0.024-0.040 in and 0.060-0.10 in, respectively. Typical application areas LLDPE has penetrated most traditional markets for polyethylene, including film, molding, tubing and wire and cable. Leak-proof ground membranes are a newly developed LLDPE market. Mulch, a large extruded sheet, is used as a landfill and waste pond liner to prevent leaks or contamination of surrounding areas. LDPE is mainly used for transparent films, such as bread bags, because of its better turbidity. HDPE applications are mainly refrigerator containers, storage containers, household kitchenware, sealing lids, etc.

Now we have a number of products that require CNC machining to be manufactured, CNC machining refers to machining with CNC machining tools. CNC refers to CNC machine tools controlled by a CNC machining language for programming, usually G-code. CNC machining G-code language tells the CNC machine tool what Cartesian position coordinates to use for machining tools, and control the tool feed rate and spindle speed, as well as tool changer, coolant and other functions. So what factors should be considered for CNC machining parts surface processing? 1, to consider the nature of the cnc machining parts material. 2, to consider the structure of cnc machining parts shape and size. 3, to consider the productivity and economy requirements. When mass production in large quantities, high efficiency advanced technology should be used. Even the manufacturing method of the blank can be fundamentally changed, which can reduce the amount of mechanical processing labor. 4, any kind of cnc machining method can obtain the machining accuracy and surface roughness have a considerable range, but only in a certain narrow range is economic, this range of machining accuracy is the economic machining accuracy. For this reason, when choosing the processing method, you should choose the corresponding processing method that can obtain the economic processing accuracy. 5, to consider the existing equipment and technical conditions of the factory or workshop. When choosing the processing method should make full use of the existing equipment, tap the potential of the enterprise, and give full play to the enthusiasm and creativity of workers. But should also consider the continuous improvement of existing processing methods and equipment, the use of new technologies and improve the level of technology. For CNC machining parts surface processing to consider what factors to share here, CNC machining parts surface processing method depends on the technical requirements of the processing surface. The selected cnc machining parts processing method should meet the quality of the parts, good processing economy and efficient production efficiency requirements.

Before developing formal molds for automotive interior and exterior parts, it is usually necessary to manufacture rapid prototyping prototypes according to the design counters to verify the installed effect of the corresponding parts before developing formal molds to ensure that the part shape and ergonomics, etc. meet the design requirements. Several methods and applications of manufacturing additive prototypes are described in the paper, and the manufacturing methods CNC machine tooling parts, 3D printing technology, silicone and fiberglass molds, and reaction injection molding are described in detail. By using rapid prototyping prototypes to load and check the design, structural errors due to local details can be avoided, development costs can be reduced, and the part development cycle can be shortened. Keywords: automotive interior and exterior trim; additive prototyping prototype; 3D printing technology; reaction injection molding Exterior and interior parts are important components of the structure of the car, the exterior parts of the car parts such as front and rear bumper skins, spoilers and side skirts and other parts; interior parts are the parts that come into contact with the interior of the vehicle, such as the instrument panel, sub-instrument panel and door guards, etc.. It is because the interior and exterior parts are very important to the appearance and use of the car, and these parts to injection molding process is predominant, the reason is that injection molding process parts molding consistency is better, can be formed relatively more complex shape parts, high production efficiency, parts price is relatively cheap, the disadvantage is the formal production mold price is higher. Therefore, in order to ensure that the actual parts can meet the visual effect of the design, ergonomic requirements and meet the requirements of the assembly structure, it is necessary to arrange for the manufacture of Rapid Prototyping (RP) prototypes before the development of formal molds for vehicle installation verification, and the installed parts can also meet the pre-build parts requirements such as the announcement of the model. The use of rapid prototyping prototype inspection design solutions can significantly accelerate the time to market, reduce development costs and shorten the product development cycle. At present, the domestic and foreign automotive industry mainstream rapid prototyping of interior and exterior parts manufacturing methods are mainly divided into CNC machine tool processing parts, 3D printing, Vacuum Casting mold (silicone mold and fiberglass mold) etc., of which 3D printing is the rapid development of the method in recent years. 1\CNC machine processing parts CNC machine tool processing parts generally refers to the use of CNC machine tool equipment directly according to the design program processing materials for acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS), nylon and other block plastic body into the required shape (if the size of less than 300mm and simple structure is directly processed once formed, if the structure of the shape is irregular or If the size is irregular or larger than 300mm, the part is generally divided into several small pieces and processed separately), and then after assembling, the final part to meet the design requirements of the size. This method of manufacturing rapid prototyping prototypes is the earliest, with relatively short processing cycle and low purchase price, and is mainly used for small and medium-sized parts with relatively simple structure and low demand, such as pillars, sub-instrument panels and door guards. Due to the modeling needs of automotive interior and exterior parts, the parts usually processed are irregularly round or square, when the size of the parts is larger than 300mm or the structure is irregularly modeled, if a whole block of plastic is used directly to process the parts, it will lead to an exponential increase in cost. Therefore, the actual manufacture of irregularly shaped parts, the parts will be divided into several parts according to structural characteristics, and then rough machining to obtain the general shape, and then use special adhesives to glue the parts of each part to form the overall contour of the part shape, and then finally together for finishing, which can effectively reduce the waste of material caused by the structure of the parts, reduce the cost of parts. The disadvantage is that in the back of the parts can be seen in the parts of the parts of the chunk between the more obvious bonding traces, parts bonding position strength is poor, easy to crack. Figure 1 shows the prototype of rapid prototyping completed by CNC machine tool. 2\3D Printing 3D printing is a technology that constructs objects by printing them layer by layer using powdered metal or plastic as the basis. 3D printing technology has a wide range of applications, and rapid prototyping is one of its important directions. The prototype parts obtained through 3D printing manufacturing have a shorter cycle time and can achieve shaped structure printing, and the overall dimensional accuracy can be adjusted according to the actual demand to meet the different needs of different occasions. General 3D printing can manufacture the same range of parts as those processed by CNC machine tools, and is suitable for rapid prototyping of parts such as columns, sub-instrument panels and door guards. The common plastic materials used in 3D printing are ABS-like plastic [acrylonitrile (A), butadiene (B), styrene (S) terpolymer of three monomers], nylon, nylon plus glass fiber and transparent photosensitive resin, etc. The advantage of ABS-like plastic is low unit price, good molding performance, suitable for structural parts with low strength requirements; nylon has good strength performance, better heat resistance than ABS-like plastic, but the price is higher The nylon plus glass fiber is a strengthened version of the performance of ordinary nylon, suitable for parts with high strength requirements; 3D printing photosensitive resin commonly known as UV resin, mainly composed of polymer monomer and pre-polymer, which is added with photoinitiator, in a certain wavelength of ultraviolet light (250-300nm) irradiation will immediately cause polymerization reaction to complete the solid state conversion, photosensitive resin curing speed, high molding accuracy, good surface effect, high mechanical strength (surface effect). It has the advantages of fast curing, high molding accuracy, good surface effect, high mechanical strength (comparable to ABS-like strength), low odor, high versatility and storage resistance. 3\Vacuum Casting Mould Soft molds mainly refer to silicone molds and FRP molds. Silicone molds are generally designed using CNC machine tools or 3D printing, and then the parts are used for rapid turning process to make the molds. This production process has short cycle time and low cost, and can use vacuum injection, pressure injection and low-pressure infusion processes for product production. Silicone rubber mold production process is suitable for small batch production (less than 100 pieces), product material strength and dimensional accuracy requirements of high products, product performance close to conventional ABS plastic. The silicone rubber used for mold making is two-component liquid silicone rubber, and there are two types of moulds: condensation moulds and additive moulds according to the rubber composition. Generally speaking, the shear strength of condensed silicone is low, easy to be torn in the mold manufacturing process, so it is suitable for simple structure, reinforcement less parts; plus molding silicone mechanical properties and heat aging performance is good, suitable for the manufacture of relatively high size requirements of the mold. At present, silicone mold production of small batch parts has been widely used in the trial production of interior and exterior trim prototypes in the pre-development stage of automobiles. The most widely used parts are small and medium-sized injection-molded structural parts such as door guards, pillars and door sill guards in the interior of automobiles. FRP (fiber reinforced plastics) is a composite material with glass fiber and its products (glass cloth, tape, felt, yarn, etc.) as the reinforcing material and synthetic resin as the matrix material, as shown in Figure 3. FRP mold based on FRP material, similar to silicone mold, made by using rapid turning process, is usually used for automobile roof trim and carpet trim and other molded molding classes, simple structure of medium and large decorative parts. FRP molds are suitable for parts produced by the molding process, blister molding process and foam molding process. The general production process of FRP mold is: part modeling → brush master mold → brush convex mold → brush concave mold → NC processing → welding mold frame → test mold → local correction → acceptance. Usually the development cycle of a pair of FRP mold is about one week, and the cost is only 1/10 of the official mold, which is a short-cycle, low-cost prototype mold. This kind of mold production method can also meet the manufacturing needs of small batch products (100~1000 sets).

The SLM process produces standard metals with a density of over 99% and good mechanical properties comparable to conventional processes.

The production of molds and molded parts through additive manufacturing can reduce lead times and costs. In addition, component functionality can be enhanced and the freedom to design custom products can be achieved. In addition, additive manufacturing can even change the rules for general industrial applications by providing high heat resistance and lighter weight parts from materials such as titanium and nickel super alloys.

Precision parts need to have a higher degree of precision and accuracy to highlight the level of craftsmanship and product quality. And, these new products are more popular with customers. Overall, CNC machining has significant competitive advantages and benefits in the field of manufacturing and processing. The quality of the products is usually high, so what are the advantages of CNC machining precision parts processing? 1, the first aspect, CNC machining precision parts processing efficiency is higher. CNC machining parts processing can and production processing a number of processing surface. Compared with the ordinary machining center, can save more production process, improve efficiency, and CNC machining parts of the product quality is also better than ordinary lathe. More reliability. 2, CNC machining precision parts processing in the development of new products with irreplaceable use. Generally speaking, different structural complex spare parts can be produced and processed by code programming, and the design and production of corrections and content updates only need to adjust the program code of the machining center, which can greatly shorten the development progress of new products. 3, CNC machining of precision parts processing a high level of mechanical automation, largely reducing the operator's manual work intensity. The operator does not need to control the whole process in the production and processing process like an ordinary lathe, mainly for the machining center to do a good job of careful observation and supervision. However, the corresponding CNC processing technology is more difficult than ordinary lathes, so it requires a higher level of technical workers than ordinary lathes.
