Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention belong to the technical field of additive manufacturing equipment, and in particular relate to a selective laser melting system, a gas circulation device and a printing method applied to the selective laser melting system. Background technique [0002] Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is widely used in existing additive manufacturing equipment. SLM is an additive manufacturing technology for direct forming of metal parts. This technology is based on the CAD model, using laser focus to gradually melt the formed material. Additive manufacturing method of layer cladding accumulation, in which the temperature in the forming cavity, oxygen concentration, and the speed at which the protective gas flows over the surface of the forming material (especially metal powder and plastic powder) all have an impact on the quality of the printed product, such as, When printing without the protection of protective gas, the elements such...
