The embodiment of the present application provides a printing environment maintaining
system and method, the printing environment maintaining
system comprises a forming chamber, a
gas monitoring device, a gas extraction device, a gas feeding device and a control device; the
gas monitoring device is arranged in the forming chamber; the gas extraction device is communicated with the forming chamber and extracts the gas in the forming chamber when working; the gas feeding device is communicated with the forming chamber and feeds the
inert gas into the forming chamber when working; the control device is connected with the
gas monitoring device, the gas extraction device and the gas feeding device respectively; in the process of switching the forming chamber from an abnormal environment to a micro-
positive pressure environment, the control device controls the gas extraction device and the gas feeding device to work cooperatively. In the scheme, the adverse effects of
impurity gas on the forming quality are reduced, and the probability of the external gas penetrating into the forming chamber is reduced; meanwhile, the micro-
positive pressure environment can also avoid the
airflow disturbing the
metal powder due to the excessively
high pressure in the forming chamber, so that the quality of the printed part is ensured.
