Robot additive manufacturing method based on MIG/MAG welding process

Abstract

The invention discloses a robot additive manufacturing method based on a MIG / MAG welding process. The robot additive manufacturing method based on the MIG / MAG welding process comprises the following steps that (1) a CAD model of a metal part is established; (2) a welding process test is carried out to establish a mapping relation between welding process parameters and weld seam geometric characteristics; (3) modeling is carried out on a weld seam body and weld seam characteristic parameters; (4) the stacking direction is determined according to the shape of the metal part, the layering heightof overlaying welding is determined according to the established weld seam model, and secondary development is carried out on a three-dimensional model software to realize a slicing function to the model; (5) a section profile obtained in the slicing step is extracted, the row spacing of overlaying welding is determined according to the established weld seam model, an appropriate path planning algorithm is designed, and a numerical control program is generated; and (6) after the numerical control program is imported into a robot simulation software for testing, a robot drive program is exported to produce the metal part. The robot additive manufacturing method based on the MIG / MAG welding process has the advantages of high forming precision and quality, process integration and the like, and has low manufacturing costs and high market response speed.
