[0002] 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, refers to the process of constructing an object by stacking materials layer by layer, and has been widely used in fields such as aerospace, medical, automotive, and architecture.

[0003] During the 3D printing process, metal powder is the key raw material, and its quality and performance directly affect the accuracy, strength, and durability of the printed parts. Therefore, the preparation of metal powder is particularly important.

Inside the material treatment area, a wire threading hole, a straightener, a deoxidizing grinding wheel set, and a ceramic protection tube are arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The ceramic protection tube extends to the device area. Inside the device area, a plasma generator is arranged below the ceramic protection tube. Inside the atomization area, an ultrasonic rotating mechanism with a heating mechanism, a gas delivery mechanism, and a powder screening mechanism are arranged in sequence from top to bottom. A vacuum pumping mechanism and a gas recovery and treatment mechanism are respectively arranged on the outer side wall of the atomization tank. When the device prepares metal powder for 3D printing, the vacuum pumping mechanism evacuates the material treatment area, the device area, and the atomization area into a vacuum. The metal wire enters through the wire threading hole, is straightened by the straightener, has its surface deoxidized by the deoxidizing grinding wheel set, is guided to the appropriate position by the ceramic protection tube, and is melted by the plasma generator.
