The invention discloses plasma casting rapid molding equipment and a rapid molding method. The equipment comprises a monitoring system, a plasma beam processing system, and a plurality of printing platforms. Each printing platform comprises a horizontal printing table, a printing table position adjusting device and an electric walking device. The plasma beam processing system includes a plasma generator, a printing position adjusting device, a gas supply device and a wire sending device. The monitoring system includes a walking controller, a plurality of walking position detection units, a temperature detection unit, a distance detection unit and a printing distance adjusting controller. The method comprises the following steps: 1, acquisition of a 3D model of a workpiece to be molded, and hierarchical slicing processing; 2, scanning path filling; 3, printing path acquisition; and 4, printing layer by layer from top to bottom. The invention has the advantages of reasonable design, simple operation, high molding efficiency, good usage effect, no need of enclosed moulding chamber, protection atmosphere or vacuum environment, and direct molding of workpiece in atmosphere environment.
