A rapid molding method based on an
electrorheological fluid, and an apparatus thereof are provided. The
electrorheological fluid is jetted to a deposition
base station with
electric field, the
electrorheological fluid is rapidly cured through utilizing an electrorheological effect, and the electrorheological fluid deposits on the deposition
base station layer by layer to construct a three dimensional entity; a
liquid storage container, a driving pump and a
nozzle are sequentially communicated through a pipeline to form an electrorheological fluid conveying path; two control lines are set by a computer, a first
control line controls the flow of the driving pump, and a second
control line controls the three dimension movement of the
nozzle through a
servo mechanism; and electrodes which comprise an
anode and a
cathode closely adhere to two sides of a model to be deposited on the deposition
base station to provide the
electric field required by the curing of the electrorheological fluid. The apparatus which utilizes the electrorheological effect of the electrorheological fluid and utilizes the
electric field to replace a
temperature control module and a constant temperature environment in traditional fusion jet rapid molding has the advantages of simple structure, substantial reduction of the cost and energy, and realization of micromation; and the method and the apparatus can be applied to fields of
prosthesis models,
industrial design, mechanical manufacturing, three dimensional scene display, entertainment and art, and the like.
