AI Technical Summary
Existing additive manufacturing technologies suffer from several problems when manufacturing complex and delicate structures such as thin-walled structures with sharp corners, micro-gaps, transverse holes, and lattices. These problems include warping and slag buildup in overhanging areas, over-melting and deformation of thin-walled structures, loss of lattice features, lack of systematic optimization of process parameters, and inaccurate compensation. These issues make it difficult to meet the high-precision requirements of high-end manufacturing.
A method based on partitioned process optimization and compensation is adopted. By dividing the region differently, optimizing parameters, and offset compensation, the main region, the lower surface region, and the compensation region are identified respectively. The scanning strategy and parameters are configured in a targeted manner. Combined with energy density optimization, layer thickness reduction, powder particle size refinement, and preheating temperature adjustment, structural offset compensation is performed to avoid additional support structures.
It improves the forming accuracy and surface quality of complex and delicate structures, reduces material consumption and post-processing damage, shortens the production cycle, enhances process adaptability, reduces the risk of thermal stress deformation, and improves the mechanical properties and manufacturing efficiency of parts.
