Problems solved by technology

However, the semi-finished products after SLS parts molding still need the post-processing step of powder cleaning. When encountering semi-closed products with only one or several small openings, the powder remaining in the cavity is extremely difficult to clean, and the powder cleaning efficiency extremely low
However, the research on post-processing methods of laser sintering is still relatively lacking.

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of 3D printing and particularly relates to a 3D printing powder cleaning curb chain and a powder cleaning method. According to the powder cleaning method, at least one curb chain is arranged in a product during SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) printing of the product, and the curb chain is pulled during powder cleaning to loosen powder in the product. By means of the powder cleaning method provided by the invention, a brand new thought is provided for SLS post-treatment, the raw material powder in the product can be quickly and efficiently cleaned, and particularly for a semi-closed product and even a product with a complex structure inside, the slightly caked powder in the product can be quickly loosened to realize efficient and quick powder cleaning; the defects of traditional air-blowing powder cleaning are effectively overcome, and the product application range of the SLS printing technology is further widened; and nowadays, the 3D printing technology does not have the condition of replacing the traditional manufacturing industry, and this kind of post-treatment method is beneficial to promoting large-scale industrial application of the 3D printing technology.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of 3D printing, and in particular relates to a 3D printing powder cleaning chain and a powder cleaning method. Background technique [0002] Selective laser sintering rapid prototyping technology (SLS), with the help of computer-aided design and manufacturing, slices the three-dimensional model according to a certain thickness, and obtains the interface profile of the slice. Then control the laser beam to scan the powder of the solid part of the model, so that the powder particles are melted and bonded to each other, and the outline of the layer is gradually obtained. Using the principle of layered manufacturing superposition, the semi-finished product is finally obtained. However, the semi-finished products after SLS parts molding still need the post-processing step of powder cleaning. When encountering semi-closed products with only one or several small openings, the powder remaining in the cavity is extr...
