Multi-beam electron beam forming method

Abstract

The invention relates to a multi-beam electron beam forming method. The method adopts a 3D printer with multi-beam electron beams, and comprises the following steps of firstly, correcting a model, namely correcting the model through general software according to the characteristics of a part model, calculating machining allowance, and modifying local characteristics, so that the model is suitablefor multi-beam electron beam forming; carrying out slicing, specifically, slicing and dividing the part model through the general software, generating a program capable of being executed by multi-beamelectron beam forming, and finally generating a slicing file; setting process parameters, specifically, setting a wire feeding speed, electron beam power and a substrate moving speed according to thesize of a formed part; printing layer by layer to finally obtain the required part appearance; and carrying out post-processing, specifically, cutting the substrate and the part. According to the method, double electron beams are adopted as energy sources, heating metal wires are coaxially conveyed, the printing efficiency is high, the precision is high, and additive manufacturing of metal structural parts is achieved.
