Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, such thin-walled parts are mostly manufactured by means of mechanical processing using rod or block raw materials, but this not only has high processing costs and long cycle times, but also wastes a lot of materials.
For some complex precision parts, the machining limitations of machining itself (such as tool limitations and other factors), which in turn increase the restrictions on the design work of the parts
[0004] Additive manufacturing not only releases many design constraints, but also reduces the raw materials consumed in the manufacturing process of thin-walled parts. However, since additive manufacturing is a laser processing technology, deformation and even misalignment are easy to occur during the manufacturing process of thin-walled parts.
The traditional solution is to thicken the thin-walled parts, and then perform machining to thin them later. The problem with this method is that the post-processing process is cumbersome, costly, and time-consuming.
