Problems solved by technology

However, due to the large loss of laser energy after multiple refractions of polymers, high layer thickness cannot be sintered
As a result, the efficiency of sintering is low, and the polymer powder will not be completely melted, which also limits the speed of 3D molding

Abstract

The invention provides a high-layer-thickness low-temperature sintering method for selective laser sintering. The method comprises the following steps: 1, laying metal powder with the layer thicknessof 0.01-0.05 mm on a piston of a working cylinder, then laying polymer powder with the layer thickness of 0.3-2.0 mm on the metal powder, and preheating the two layers of powder to a set temperature which is 10-150 DEG C lower than the melting point of the polymer powder; 2, sintering the two layers of powder by adopting a CO2 laser to melt the polymer powder, and then performing sintering by adopting an optical fiber laser; and executing step 1 and step 2 repeatedly until workpiece sintering is completed to obtain a workpiece. By means of the high-layer-thickness low-temperature sintering method, the sintering speed and forming efficiency of the selective laser sintering process are greatly increased, and the prepared workpiece is excellent in performance and can also serve as a good anti-static material due to its surface resistivity.

Description

Technical field[0001]The invention belongs to the technical field of additive manufacturing, and specifically relates to a high-layer thick low-temperature sintering method and equipment for selective laser sintering.Background technique[0002]Selective laser sintering technology is currently a commonly used rapid prototyping technology. This technology allows you to build a computer three-dimensional model of the target part without using tools for processing, and then use layering software to slice the three-dimensional model to spread the powder to the work The cylinder is then heated to a certain temperature, and finally a three-dimensional solid is obtained by laser sintering multiple layers of powder.[0003]The reason why polymer powder can be melted mainly has two energy sources. One energy source is the radiant heating of the lamp tube or filament on the upper part of the working cylinder. The upper heating energy is the main energy source for powder melting, accounting for ab...
