A method for increasing the resolution when forming a three-dimensional article through successive fusion of parts of a powder bed, said method comprising providing a vacuum chamber, providing an electron gun, providing a first powder layer on a work table inside said vacuum chamber, directing an electron beam from said electron gun over said work table causing the powder layer to fuse in selected locations to form a first cross section of said three-dimensional article, providing a second powder layer on said work table, directing the electron beam over said work table causing said second powder layer to fuse in selected locations to form a second cross section of said three-dimensional article, reducing the pressure in the vacuum chamber from a first pressure level to a second pressure level between the providing of said first powder layer and said second powder layer.

There is disclosed a method of making a metallic or ceramic component, such as a cutting or forming tool, from at least two distinct powder precursors. In one embodiment, the method comprising forming a first mixture comprised of a plurality of coated particles, such as Tough-Coated Hard Powder (TCHP) composite particles created by encapsulating extremely hard core particles with very tough binder and structural materials, and at least one support powder, such as a carbide, typically WC—Co. The mixture is formed into a green body and sintered to form a functionally graded or multicomponent article. Non-limiting examples of the articles made from the disclosed methods are also disclosed and include drills, mills, cutting tools, forming tools, wires dies and mechanical components.

The invention discloses a powder spreading device for rapid forming equipment. The device mainly comprises a quantitative powder conveying device, a movable silo, a movable arm, a movable frame and the like. The quantitative powder conveying device is used for supplying powder to the movable silo. Whether the powder falls down or not is controlled through a rotating sheet. According to the section of parts, the movable silo does regular translational motion within a working plane under the drive of the movable arm and the movable frame, and a scraper on the silo can realize dynamic powder spreading. By combining the movable arm and the movable silo with the movable frame, defining the powder within the area of the parts and adjusting the magnitude and the position of spread powder according to the change of the section of the parts, not only can the amount of the used powder is greatly saved, but also the powder spreading speed is high; and the structural design of the powder spreading device is simple, the powder spreading device is convenient to disassemble and assemble, the realization is easy, the cost is lower and the powder spreading device has an important application value to the improvement of the overall technical level of a powder bed quick forming technology.
