Problems solved by technology

The second is the DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) method represented by the German EOS company, that is, the technology of directly sintering metal without an intermediate binder to directly manufacture metal molds. The materials used are Direct Metal 100, Direct Metal 50, and Direct Metal 20. , DirectSteel150, Direct Steel120, etc., the strength of the injection mold manufactured by it can reach 491MPa. This method is simple in process, but the forming process is difficult to control, the precision is low and the cost is high

Abstract

A selective laser sintering quick manufacturing of the mold comprises CAD three dimension model design, storing STL files after treatment by the section software, sending the STL data to SLS quick forming machine. Spreading a composite powder of polyamide and copper on the power bed of selective laser sintering machine, with copper powder grain side 200--400, their weight ratio ranging 2:1-7:1, scanning and sintering in the selected zone of the laser harness, laser speckle 10-250 mum, scanning distance 0.04-0.1mm, scanning speed 1000- 3000mm/s, single layer thickness 70-150 mum, repeating till the formation of the complete mold inlaid, coating the surface with epoxide resin or acrylic acid series solidification system, polishing the surface thereafter. It is simple in process, short in processing period, low in cost, suitable for small volume plastic parts pilot run, testing and production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of advanced rapid manufacturing, and in particular relates to a method for rapidly and directly manufacturing injection molds through selective laser sintering. technical background [0002] Mold technology is one of the most widely used technologies in the manufacturing industry today. With the rapid development of the automobile and home appliance industries, the proportion of injection molds in the entire mold industry is increasing day by day. Traditional injection molds are mainly made by machining methods such as turning, milling, planing, drilling, grinding, and electro-erosion. It is difficult for the drilling cooling channel to conform to the main contour of the injection molded part, and the cooling efficiency is low, which may easily lead to The uneven cooling of various parts of the plastic causes warping and deformation of the workpiece, and the processing cycle is long and the cost is high. Especially for...
