The invention discloses a method for generating a
metal 3D printing supporting structure, and relates to the technical field of additive manufacturing. The method comprises the steps that
geometric analysis is conducted on a three-dimensional model of a to-be-printed part, and areas needing to be supported are recognized and classified into a strong supporting area, a weak supporting area and a transition supporting area; different
laser scanning parameters are configured for different supporting areas, a supporting main body adopts low-
energy density parameters to form a porous structure, a contact interface adopts discrete
dot matrix scanning to form weak connection, and a
transition layer with gradually-changed parameters is arranged between the supporting main body and the contact interface; a composite supporting structure composed of hexagonal
honeycomb units and vertical thin walls is generated; in the printing process, high-frequency micro-vibration is applied to the support to improve
powder fluidity, and sweep-frequency vibration is applied to the
interface layer to weaken
interface bonding;
thermal cycle treatment is carried out after printing, and interface automatic
cracking is achieved through the difference of
thermal expansion coefficients; and finally, support falling is accelerated through
resonance frequency vibration. Through the synergistic effect of the scanning parameter gradient, the structure optimization design and the vibration auxiliary technology, the removability of the support is remarkably improved, the
material consumption is reduced, and the surface quality of the part is improved.
