Problems solved by technology

When heated, these parts of the machine frame deform and cause the source of energy or heat to move, reducing manufacturing accuracy and thus the quality of the manufactured parts
[0011] Moreover, this deformation of the frame can also cause sealing problems, resulting in dangerous leakage of powder or inert gas
Specifically, AM powders may contain toxic chemical compounds or metals
Furthermore, since the fabrication chamber of an AM machine is filled with an inert gas to avoid the oxidation of certain AM powders and the risk of explosion associated with the oxidation of some of these oxidizable powders, in the event of a leak, the inert gas is present around the machine. Inflated, operators in the workshop where the machine is installed may be starved of oxygen
[0012] Finally, the heat radiated from the work area can also lead to an increase in the temperature inside the additive manufacturing chamber, which can lead to crystallization of the powder, which can compromise the quality of the powder bed, thereby reducing the quality of the manufactured part

Embodiment Construction

[0022] The present invention relates to an additive manufacturing machine 10, preferably using the method of additive manufacturing of a deposited powder bed. Specifically, with this method of fabrication, a large amount of unconsolidated powder surrounds the part being fabricated, so when the fabrication plate is heated or heated, a large amount of heat is radiated from this powder.

[0023] The machine according to the invention can be used with additive manufacturing powders of the metallic type or of the non-metallic type based, for example ceramics.

[0024] To implement the additive manufacturing method, the additive manufacturing machine 10 includes a manufacturing chamber 12 in which at least one heat or energy source 14 is used to melt additive manufacturing powder on a work surface 16 . The heat or energy source 14 may be a laser beam, an electron beam and / or a diode. Preferably, the manufacturing chamber 12 is closed in a hermetic manner during the manufacturing cy...

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is in the field of powder-based additive manufacturing by melting particles of the powder using an energy or heat source such as a laser beam, electron beam or diode. [0002] More specifically, the invention aims to allow better quality parts to be manufactured. Background technique [0003] The use of melting to fabricate components can create residual stresses in the fabricated component, which can lead to defects in the fabricated component or even breakage of certain portions of the fabricated component. [0004] When manufactured parts are defective, they are scrapped and cost the manufacturer. In addition, new parts must be produced to meet the needs of the customers ordering them. [0005] On the other hand, when a part of the manufactured component breaks under the action of residual stresses, it is no longer possible to continue manufacturing it. In particular, since it is usually the base of the part that is fixed to...
