Problems solved by technology

However, for the powder bed-based SLM forming technology, generally only a single metal-based material can be formed, such as iron-based, nickel-based, titanium-based, aluminum-based, etc., and it is difficult to realize metal-based and polymer or ceramic composite materials. Forming, such as the use of SLM technology to form iron-based and diamond composite materials, due to the huge difference in melting point between iron-based (melting point 1600 ° C) and diamond (melting point 3550 ° C), in the process of laser scanning and melting single-layer powder, it is inevitable. Higher laser power leads to over-melting evaporation of iron-based materials or failure of diamond to melt due to lower laser power, so that high-quality iron-based / diamond composites cannot be formed
How to realize the overall high-quality forming of composite parts by using a single-layer forming method with variable process parameters by identifying materials with different properties in composite materials, the current 3D printing technology is still difficult to achieve

Abstract

The invention relates to a 3D printing forming method of a composite material. Before 3D printing forming, the heat conductivity and melting points of various base body materials forming the compositematerial are tested, and obtained data are input into a computer; then a recognizing detection device is used for regionally recognizing materials in different properties in the composite material; according to data of the recognized powder materials in different regions, a laser device is instructed to adjust process parameters in real time to perform printing; and in the whole printing process,the process parameters are adjusted and optimized along with changing of block information of powder, high quality forming of a composite material part of a composite structure is achieved, and the printing efficiency is improved.
