The invention discloses a
powder supply device for 3D printing, relates to the field of 3D printing auxiliary equipment, solves the problem that it is difficult to isolate air during the transportation of
powder raw materials when using the existing
powder supply device for 3D printing, and the
raw material powder is easily wrapped by an
oxide film, affecting the printing efficiency. The device comprises a shell, a storage hopper, a feeding mechanism, a conveying mechanism and a circulation mechanism. The feeding mechanism comprises an air
storage tank, an air tank and a conveying disk. A plurality of conveying cavities are evenly arranged in the conveying disk. The invention controls the conveying disk to rotate and switch the position of the conveying cavity through the feeding mechanism, and extracts the air in the conveying cavity to be fed, injects
inert gas, and at the same time extracts the
inert gas in the conveying cavity after the feeding is completed into the air
storage tank, injects air, and recycles it. The powder at the bottom of the storage hopper is upwardly conveyed to the powder outlet
pipe by the conveying mechanism to complete the powder supply operation. At the same time, the
water vapor in the powder is fully dried and the powder is preheated during the transportation process.
