Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a selective laser sintering device, in particular to a selective laser sintering double-roller powder spreading device. Background technique

[0002] Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology adopts the principle of layered manufacturing and uses solid powder as raw material to directly convert CAD models into entities. According to factors such as material properties, part structure, process requirements, etc., the powder spreading device of SLS equipment evenly spreads a thin layer of powder on the workbench for sintering of a cross-sectional shape, the thickness, density, and uniformity of the powder layer, etc. All directly affect the sintering quality.

[0003] In the traditional SLS process, the powder feeding cylinder of the equipment sends the powder material to the working table, and the powder spreading roller spreads the powder evenly on the working table, and after the powder spreading is completed, the excess pow...

Embodiment Construction

[0009] As shown in the accompanying drawings, the present invention includes a powder storage cylinder (3), two parallel powder spreading rollers: a left powder spreading roller (1) and a right powder spreading roller (2), and the powder spreading device and the king's table (4 ) to form a closed system, the powder storage cylinder (3) is a cylinder body with an open bottom, fixed on two parallel powder spreading rollers (1 and 2), and can move synchronously with the powder spreading rollers, and the powder spreading powder (5) is stored In the closed system formed by the device and the work surface (4). The double-roller powder spreading device moves from the left side of the working cylinder (6) to the right side of the working cylinder (6), the right powder spreading roller (2) compacts the upper layer of powder, and the left powder spreading roller (1) compresses the powder spreading powder ( 5) Spread evenly on the work surface (4). The powder spreading device runs to th...
