Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of LPBF print defect detection, and in particular to a device for detecting internal defects of LPBF prints. Background Art

[0002] LPBF prints refer to metal parts printed by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technology. LPBF is an additive manufacturing technology that uses a laser beam to melt metal powder layer by layer and accumulate layer by layer to form three-dimensional solid parts. This technology has high molding accuracy, is suitable for manufacturing complex metal components, and can reduce material waste. It can print parts with complex geometric shapes, with high dimensional accuracy and good surface quality. Compared with traditional manufacturing methods, LPBF technology can minimize material waste because only the required metal powder is used without the need for additional support structures. Transient phenomena and complex structural dynamics are triggered in extreme thermal conditions. The interaction between them often leads to structural defects, such as pores. Therefore, after the LPBF print is printed, it is necessary to perform defect detection on the inside; however, the defect detection device currently used is fixed when the printer is inspected, and the staff needs to manually rotate the print for inspection, and the height of the print cannot be adjusted.
