Embodiment 1

[0028] In this embodiment, the method of the present invention is used to make a pulley part of long fiber reinforced metal matrix composite material, and the steps are as follows:

[0029] (1) First establish the 3D CAD model of the pulley such as figure 2 shown;

[0030] (2) Perform layered information processing on the 3D CAD model of the part to obtain the discrete information of the 2D layer;

[0031] (3) According to the two-dimensional layer information of the part obtained in step (2), carry out the design of the 3D printing shape and the three-dimensional weaving path of the fiber;

[0032] (4) According to the layer information of the parts, T300-1k carbon fiber and aluminum alloy are used as forming materials;

[0033] (5) The printing equipment prints a layer of guide columns on the working platform ( image 3 2 shown is the printed guide column);

[0034] (6) The three-dimensional weaving and forming equipment performs three-dimensional weaving of fibers guid...

Embodiment 2

[0039] This embodiment adopts the inventive method to prepare circular parts such as Figure 4 As shown, the difference from Example 1 is that there is no variable cross-section of the parts in this example. In step 4, T300-3k carbon fiber is used. In step 6, the guide column is cylindrical, with a diameter of 1.5mm and a spacing of 1.5mm. The height of each layer is 1mm, and all the others are the same as in Example 1.

Abstract

The invention discloses 3D (3-Dimensional) printing method for preparing a metal matrix composite material, relates to a technique for preparing a fiber reinforced metal matrix composite material by utilizing a 3D printing forming technology, and aims to solve the problems of inflexible lifting and arrangement for guide posts in a flexible guiding three-dimensional weaving technology, high weaving difficulty for the preforms of components in the long-fiber reinforced metal matrix composite material, complicated technology for the permeating preforms of molten metal in the long-fiber reinforced metal matrix composite material, high cost, low rate of finished products and the like. The main method is as follows: various metals and long fibers are taken as raw materials, the guide posts are printed and formed by adopting the 3D printing forming technology in the process of weaving fiber preforms in a three-dimensional mode, and components are prepared in a layer-by-layer weaving and layer-by-layer printing mode. Through the adoption of the method, the fiber weaving of the long-fiber reinforced metal matrix composite material and the permeating forming of the molten metal are integrated, so that the manufacturing efficiency of components is greatly improved.
