Problems solved by technology

[0007] The present invention aims at the existing metal 3D printing technology that adopts direct feeding of melt and cooling by cooling medium, which has high production cost, poor equipment mechanism action flexibility, slow running speed, low printing efficiency, difficult control of process parameters and forming Due to poor product quality and repeatability, it is proposed to separate the feeding system and discharging system of the equipment, separate the printing and forming area from the cooling medium, place the feeding system outside the forming chamber, and adjust the size of the outlet of the nozzle according to the size of the product. On this basis, a new type of metal 3D printing technology will be developed

Abstract

The invention discloses high-efficiency metal 3D printing equipment and a method, and belongs to the technical field of 3D printing. Through such measures as separation of a supply system of metal 3D printing equipment from a discharge system, separation of a printing forming area from a cooling medium, positioning of the supply system out of a forming room and capability of controlling the size of a discharge port of a nozzle according to sizes of products, based on direct melt supply and cooling medium cooling, the high-efficiency metal 3D printing equipment and method adopt 3D printing to form high-quality metal products with high efficiency and low cost, and in particular, are suitable for high-efficiency formation of large metal products. The 3D printing equipment is flexible in mechanism actions, fast in operating speed, high in flexibility, high in sensitivity and low in manufacturing cost; the 3D printing forming process is high in efficiency; process parameters are liable to control; and the metal products formed by printing are excellent in quality and repeatability and low in production cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of 3D printing, and in particular relates to a high-efficiency metal 3D printing device and method. [0002] technical background [0003] 3D printing technology is a new type of material forming technology developed in the early 1980s. Its principle is to first use a computer to establish a three-dimensional solid model of the product to be formed, and then use layered slicing software to process the three-dimensional solid model of the product into a A series of two-dimensional cross-sections, and then use 3D printing equipment to accumulate materials layer by layer according to the shape of two-dimensional cross-sections, and finally form a three-dimensional solid product. 3D printing technology has the characteristics of short production process and high material utilization rate, and can realize near-net shape production of complex shapes, small batches and personalized products. [0004] Since its ince...
