Problems solved by technology

At the same time, due to the relatively poor penetration of the laser on the powder, the laser is more likely to penetrate deeper through the refraction scheme and irradiate the surface of the polymer powder. However, due to the large energy loss of the laser after multiple refractions of the polymer, it cannot Sintering has a high layer thickness, so the sintering efficiency is low, and the polymer powder will not be completely melted, which also limits the 3D molding speed

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of additive manufacturing, and in particular relates to a method for low-temperature sintering of polymer composite powder materials. Background technique [0002] Selective laser sintering technology is a commonly used rapid prototyping technology at present. This technology allows only to establish a computer 3D model of the target part without using tools, and then use layering software to slice the 3D model and spread the powder on the work surface. 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 radiation heating of the lamp tube or filament on the upper part of the working cylinder. This upper heating energy is the main energy source for powder melting, accounting for about 80%, while the other ...
