Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of 3D printing, in particular to a method for determining laser sintering parameters of nanometer copper powder 3D printing. Background technique [0002] 3D printing belongs to the additive manufacturing method, that is, the required products are produced by superimposing materials layer by layer through three-dimensional printing. 3D printing does not require the use of molds and has natural advantages in the manufacture of personalized, non-mass products. Among them, 3D printed copper products can be widely used in the fields of electronics, electricity, energy, chemicals, automobiles, machinery and high-energy physics. Selective laser melting (SLM) technology uses laser as the heat source and is the mainstream sintering process for metal 3D molding. [0003] Metal copper is a reflective material, which reduces the energy utilization rate of the laser during the laser sintering process. The high therma...
