Obtain the scan paths in multiple layering sections;
Step 3: printing path obtains:The data processing equipment is cut according to the multiple layerings obtained in step 2
The scan path in face obtains the printing path in multiple layering sections;The printing path in each layering section with this
The scan path for being layered section is identical;
Step 4: successively printing from the bottom to top:According to obtained in step 3 it is multiple it is described layering sections printing paths,
It successively treats shaping workpiece 3 from the bottom to top to be printed, finished workpart made of acquisition is stacked from the bottom to top by multiple shape layers;
The quantity of the shape layer is identical as the quantity in section is layered described in step 1, the installation position difference of multiple shape layers
With it is multiple it is described layering sections installation positions correspond and its thickness all same, the thickness of the shape layer with it is two neighboring
The distance between the layering section is identical, in step 3 it is multiple it is described layering sections printing paths be respectively it is multiple it is described at
The printing path of type layer;The Method of printing all same of multiple shape layers;When treating shaping workpiece 3 and being printed, process is such as
Under:
Step 401, bottom printing:The position adjustment controller 15 is currently printed as according to acquired in step 3
The printing path of type layer, the stamp pad position regulator is controlled and drive horizontal stamp pad 4 in the horizontal plane into
Row movement;In 4 moving process of horizontal stamp pad, interior band is melted the plasma of liquid stream by the plasma beam system of processing
Line is continuously sprayed onto on horizontal stamp pad 4;Liquid stream (the melting liquid stream specifically flowing on horizontal stamp pad 4) to be melted solidifies
Afterwards, the print procedure of current institute's printing shaping layer is completed;
In this step, current institute's printing shaping layer is the shape layer for being located at bottommost in multiple shape layers;
Step 402, last layer printing, include the following steps:
Step 4021, horizontal stamp pad move down:The position adjustment controller 15 is by controlling stamp pad position tune
Engagement positions, the horizontal stamp pad of drive 4 are once moved down and move down height and the shape layer in the vertical direction
Thickness it is identical;
Step 4022, printing and synchronous temperature control:The position adjustment controller 15 is current acquired in step 3
The printing path of institute's printing shaping layer controls the stamp pad position regulator and drives horizontal stamp pad 4 in water
It is moved in plane;In 4 moving process of horizontal stamp pad, interior band is melted liquid stream by the plasma beam system of processing
Plasma beam be continuously sprayed onto on the upper surface of current printed next shape layer;Liquid stream to be melted is (specific
To flow to the melting liquid stream on the upper surface of current printed next shape layer) solidify after, complete current institute
The print procedure of printing shaping layer;
In this step, in 4 moving process of horizontal stamp pad, by temperature detecting unit 9 to currently printed
The upper surface temperature of next shape layer is measured in real time and by detected temperature information synchronous driving to printing distance
Adjusting control device 10, while the distance between outlet of the nozzle and horizontal stamp pad 4 are carried out by distance detection unit 8
Detection in real time simultaneously extremely prints the range information synchronous driving detected apart from adjusting control device 10;The printing distance, which is adjusted, to be controlled
Temperature information that device 10 processed is detected according to temperature detecting unit 9 and by controlling the printing distance adjusting means to the spray
The distance between the outlet of head and horizontal stamp pad 4 are adjusted, and make the upper of current printed next shape layer
Surface temperature is not higher than 0.6 times of the material fusing point of workpiece 3 to be formed;
In 4 moving process of horizontal stamp pad described in step 401 and step 4022, the dust feeder continuously sends out printing
Material, while sent out printed material is melted by the beam-plasma that the plasma beam system of processing generates, and
So that sent out printed material melts the molten melt drop to be formed continuously and forms liquid stream;The liquid stream is distributed in the beam-plasma
It is interior, form the interior plasma beam with melting liquid stream;The printed material is dusty material (i.e. powder);
Step 402 is repeated several times in step 403, until completing the print procedure of 3 all shape layers of workpiece to be formed.
In actual use, the dust feeder is synchronous powder feeding system device, and the powder that the dust feeder is sent out is in institute
It states and is sent into the plasma generator under the action of working gas (beam-plasma includes unionized working gas), and send
Enter the powder in the beam-plasma to accelerate, heat and be molten into melting liquid stream.Also, the melting liquid stream is in the work gas
Central axis under the action of body (beam-plasma includes unionized working gas) along the beam-plasma moves.Thus, it is real
During the use of border, by changing the flow of the working gas, the powder sending quantity being sent into beam-plasma can also be carried out corresponding
Adjustment.
