Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of additive manufacturing technology for granular materials, and in particular to a rapidly changeable nozzle structure for additive manufacturing of granular materials. Background Technology

[0002] Additive manufacturing involves the layer-by-layer deposition of materials. The nozzle shape has a significant impact on material flowability, printing accuracy, interlayer bonding strength, surface quality, and application areas during the additive manufacturing process. Selecting a suitable nozzle shape is crucial for optimizing the manufacturing process and improving product quality and production efficiency. Existing nozzle structures require dedicated machines for use, resulting in poor performance and failing to meet the needs of long-term enterprise development.

[0003] In view of the above, it is necessary to improve the existing nozzle structure to adapt to the current needs of nozzle replacement. Utility Model Content
