Optimizing Photocuring 3D Printing of Moso Bamboo Pyrolytic Oil Modified Photosensitive Resin
Photosensitive resin is an important raw material for photocuring 3D printing,which most of them are derived from high-cost non-renewable petrochemical resources.Therefore,there is an urgent need to develop novel green and low-cost photosensitive resin materials and optimize their 3D printing process.In this study,moso bamboo(Phyllostachys edulis)pyrolytic oil was used as the raw material to synthesize bio-oil polyurethane acrylate(BPUA)photosensitive resin.The parameters of the BPUA resin for photocuring 3D printing were optimized as following:the exposure time of 5 seconds,the thickness of the sliced layer of 0.05 mm,and the number of the bottom layer of seven.Under this condition,good mechanical properties were achieved with a tensile strength of 21.94 MPa,a fracture strength of 17.55%,and a hardness of 76.6 HD.Several planar and three-dimensional structural models were successfully printed with the optimized process parameters showing high dimensional accuracy and good surface quality as indicated by the microscopic and chemical analyses.
