Problems solved by technology

However, due to the complex structure of injection molding products and the high cost of molds, the cost advantage can only be exerted in mass production
In addition, some complex parts cannot be prepared into molds, such as closed cavities, complex inner cavities, etc., which limit the application of injection molding
At present, there are no related reports on the method of preparing small thin-walled metal parts with complex shapes by using metal slurry 3D printing without mold injection molding

Abstract

The invention provides a metal slurry 3D printing moldless injection molding method. The 3D printing technology is combined with the injection molding technology, and the metal powder and the organic binder are uniformly mixed by the injection molding process to make a metal slurry. As the raw material for 3D printing, the slurry is printed layer by layer according to the data model by 3D printing equipment, and the metal blank is obtained layer by layer, and then degreased and sintered to obtain metal parts with complex shapes. This method can prepare parts that cannot be prepared by traditional injection molding, such as closed cavities and complex inner cavities. Using 3D printing technology, metal blanks can be directly formed without molds. The cost of single-piece and small-batch production is low, and the requirements for powder raw materials are low. , with high process reliability, strong repeatability and high efficiency, it is easy to realize the industrialization of 3D printing technology to prepare small thin-walled and complex-shaped metal parts.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a metal powder forming technology, which belongs to the technical field of metal parts preparation, and in particular provides a method for preparing small thin-walled and complex-shaped metal parts by 3D printing of metal slurry without die injection molding. Background technique [0002] 3D printing technology, also known as three-dimensional printing technology, is based on digital model files and imports graphic data designed by a computer into a 3D printing device. Layer-by-layer additive construction of three-dimensional objects, and finally the digital and intelligent additive manufacturing technology that turns the blueprint on the computer into a physical object.
