specific Embodiment

[0079] Such as Figure 3 to Figure 10 The first preferred specific embodiment of a metal 3D printing method of the present invention is shown: a metal 3D printing method, the main process of which is: placing molten and flowable metal into the molding used by the 3D printing equipment area, the molten and flowable metal is transformed into printed metal after it has no fluidity, the molten and flowable metal is accumulated on the basis of the printed metal until the object to be printed is formed, and the accumulated printed The formed metal constitutes the object to be printed; wherein: in the process of accumulating the molten and flowable metal, the position where the molten and flowable metal is placed is determined by the shape and structure of the object to be printed; said three-dimensional printing The forming area used by the equipment refers to the space used by the 3D printing equipment when printing objects (corresponding to figure 1 with figure 2 The molding ca...

Abstract

The invention discloses a metal three-dimensional printing method and equipment. A core method of the method comprises the following steps of putting molten or softened and flowable metal into a forming area used by three-dimensional printing equipment, converting the molten or softened and flowable metal without flowability into printed and formed metal, accumulating the molten or softened and flowable metal on the printed and formed metal until a to-be-printed object is formed, and forming the to-be-printed object by the accumulated printed and formed metal. The metal three-dimensional printing method is characterized by comprising the following steps of accumulating the molten or softened and flowable metal and the printed and formed metal in a partial area of the forming area; accumulating powder in the partial area of the forming area; and taking the accumulated powder as an auxiliary support, and providing support for the to-be-printed object. A metal part with a complex shape and structure can be manufactured, and the generated metal part is high in strength, is high in density and is high in forming precision; a large metal part can be printed; and the equipment is simple in structure and is low in cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to three-dimensional printing technology, in particular to a metal three-dimensional printing method and equipment thereof, and belongs to the technical field of additive manufacturing. Background technique [0002] 3D printing technology first originated in the United States at the end of the 19th century, and was perfected and commercialized in Japan and the United States until the 1970s and 1980s. Common mainstream 3D printing technologies, such as stereolithography (StereoLithography Apparatus, SLA), fused deposition manufacturing (Fused Deposition Modeling, FDM), selective laser sintering (Selecting Laser Sintering, SLS), three-dimensional powder bonding (Three DimensionalPrinting and Gluing, 3DP), was commercialized in the United States in the 1980s and 1990s. The currently commercialized technologies for 3D printing of metal materials mainly include Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and Electron Beam Melting (EBM), but SLM and...
