[0015] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings: As shown in Figure 1, a flexible additive manufacturing device described in the present invention includes a casing 1, a first module 2 is fixedly installed inside the casing 1, a second module 3 is fixedly installed on the sliding end of the first module 2, a third module 4 is fixedly installed on the sliding end of the second module 3, a print head 5 is fixedly installed on the sliding end of the third module 4, limiting columns 6 are fixedly installed on the upper and lower parts of both sides of the second module 3, slide grooves 7 are fixedly installed in parallel on both sides of the casing 1, the limiting columns 6 are arranged in the slide grooves 7, and a support plate assembly 8 is installed inside the casing 1.

[0016] In this embodiment, combined with the Figure 2As shown, the pallet assembly 8 includes a pallet 81 and a linear motor 82. The pallet 81 is fixedly mounted on the upper part of the sliding end of the linear motor 82. Grooves 83 are symmetrically opened in the front and back of the pallet 81. A printing pallet 85 is placed in the interior of each of the grooves 83. An electromagnet 84 is embedded and fixedly mounted at the lower part of each of the grooves 83. The printing pallet 85 is made of a plastic plate with an embedded iron sheet. When the linear motor 82 drives the pallet 81 to move to the front, the user takes out the front printing pallet 85. At this time, the printing pallet 85 on the rear side is used for additive manufacturing, which improves the processing efficiency. During additive manufacturing, the user controls the electromagnet 84 to make the electromagnet 84 magnetic. The electromagnet 84 adsorbs and fixes the printing pallet 85, and fixes the printing pallet 85. When removing the printing pallet 85, the user controls the electromagnet 84 to make the electromagnet 84 lose its magnetism, which facilitates the removal of the printing pallet 85.

[0017] In this embodiment, specifically, openings for taking out the printing tray 85 are provided on the front and rear sides of the housing 1 .

[0018] In this embodiment, specifically, the linear motor 82 is fixedly installed on the lower inner side of the casing 1 . How it works

[0019] In the present invention, during additive manufacturing, the user transports external printing materials into the print head 5, the first module 2 drives the second module 3 to move forward and backward, the second module 3 drives the third module 4 to move up and down, and the third module 4 drives the print head 5 to move left and right, so that the print head 5 performs additive manufacturing, and the limit column 6 and the slide groove 7 limit the movement of the second module 3.
