Application of 3D printing technology in three-dimensional modeling and design of ship piping systems
In order to enhance the design flexibility of complex ship piping systems,the application of 3D printing tech-nology in the three-dimensional modeling design of ship piping systems is studied.Using CAD software to establish a two-dimensional model of the ship's piping system,determining the point,line,and surface relationships of the ship's piping sys-tem based on the intersection line segments of the ship's piping system triangles,and converting them into a three-dimension-al model of the ship's piping system.Import the 3D model of the ship piping system into the slicing software.Using the sli-cing engine to run the 3D printing slicing engine to enhance the processing algorithm,slicing the 3D model of the ship pip-ing system,and outputting the Gcode code file of the 3D model of the ship piping system.Import the Gcode code into a 3D printer and use the Z-shaped filling method to fill the 3D printing material of the ship piping system,achieving the 3D print-ing of the ship piping system model.The experimental results show that this method can accurately print the three-dimen-sional model of ship piping system,with small size deviation in the printed results,which improves the flexibility of ship pip-ing system design.
