Method of making a composite material by three-dimensional ink-jet printing

摘要

A method for the preparation of a composite material having a pre-designed structure and properties according to the intended use of said composite material is provided. The method includes generating data for dispensing two or more different interface materials having different properties into at least two different phases; selectively depositing said two or more different interface materials having different properties from two or more corresponding dispensers to form layers according to the data generated, each interface material being dispensed from a different dispenser to form at least two different phases of interface materials; and curing or solidifying the dispensed layers to obtain a composite material with pre-designed structure and properties.

1. A method for the preparation of a composite material by a three-dimensional ink-jet printing system, the method comprising:
designing a composite material multi-phase structure to include predetermined combinations of two or more different compositions, each having different properties; selectively dispensing according to said structure said two or more compositions in construction layers from two or more corresponding dispensers to form at least two different phases of composite material having predesigned isotropic and/or anisotropic properties, wherein at least one of the phases is a non-continuous phase; and exposing the dispensed construction layers to radiation energy for at least partial solidification of the layers to obtain the composite material.
