Abstract
A 3D printing device and method for integrated manufacturing of functionally gradient materials and three-dimensional structures. The device includes an active and passive mixing and printing module and a constraining and sacrificial layer printing module. An input end of the active mixing module connects to multiple anti-settling feeding modules, and an output end of the active mixing module connects to the passive mixing and printing module. The passive mixing and printing module and the constraining and sacrificial layer printing module are mounted on one side of an XYZ three-axis module. The constraining and sacrificial layer printing module connects to a constraining and sacrificial layer feeding module and prints and forms a functionally gradient three-dimensional structure. The 3D printing device and method of the invention can realize integrated manufacturing of continuous functionally gradient materials and complex three-dimensional structures, and have the advantages of high printing efficiency and low cost.
