Die plasma 3D rapid molding equipment and molding method

Abstract

The invention discloses die plasma 3D rapid molding equipment and molding method. The equipment is composed of a monitoring system, a plasma beam machining system, a horizontal printing table for containing a to-be-molded die and a temporary fixing piece; the plasma beam machining system is composed of a plasma generator, an air supply device, a wire feeding device and a printing position adjusting device; the printing position adjusting device comprises a horizontal movement device and a printing distance adjusting device; and the monitoring system comprises a horizontal movement controller, a temperature detecting unit, a distance detecting unit and a printing distance adjusting controller, and a temperature regulation and control unit is composed of the temperature detecting unit and the printing distance adjusting controller. The molding method includes the steps of (1) three-dimensional model obtaining and layered slicing treatment; (2) scanning path filling; (3) scanning path obtaining; and (4) layer-by-layer printing from bottom to top. The die plasma 3D rapid molding equipment is reasonable in design, easy and convenient to operate, high in efficiency and good in using effect, the molding process is directly executed under the atmospheric environment, and the quality of the die is good.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of rapid prototyping, and in particular relates to a mold plasma 3D rapid prototyping equipment and a prototyping method. Background technique [0002] Mold refers to various molds and tools used in industrial production for injection molding, blow molding, extrusion, die-casting or forging forming, smelting, stamping and other methods to obtain the required products. In short, a mold is a tool used to shape a product. Mold is an important tool in product molding and processing, and the cost accounts for 10% to 30% of product cost. The molding surface of the mold refers to the surface used to shape the product (also called the product), and the molding surface is the surface that directly contacts the molded product. Wherein, the molding surface of the cavity refers to the outer surface for molding the product, and the molding surface of the core is the inner surface for molding the product. The processin...

The Chinese invention patent application document published on August 27, 2014 with the publication number CN104004966A discloses a casting preparation method for stamping dies. Heat treatment and multi-pass processing are required, the designability of the mold and its performance is poor, and the manufacturing process is cumbersome

The Chinese invention patent application document with the publication number CN104057271A published on September 24, 2014 discloses a powder metallurgy preparation method for cemented carbide tools and molds. Since each mold product corresponds to a pair of molds, the shrinkage of different alloy powders The coefficients are different, and each corresponding mold needs to be designed, resulting in high mold production costs; mold preparation time is long, and the preparation efficiency is low; when powder is filled, under the action of friction, the corners are filled unevenly, resulting in uneven strength , affecting the service life of mold products
