In cooling every layer of laser melting process of mould, the cross section in water route is not Stimulated Light irradiation, because the design in water route is closed loop
, after the completion of resulting in mould 3D printing, residual powder is filled with water channel.
At present, the common practice for excluding residual powder is after cutting on line mold removal product, to be aligned with industrial dust collector
Mould water channel entrance is suctioned out or blows out powder with compressed air alignment mould water channel entrance, during for requiring strict, can
Residual powder is further removed using vibration of ultrasonic wave.
However, these methods are all it cannot be guaranteed that the residual powder in fully erased water channel, the cutting fluid of one side wire cutting
With the inwall that mould water channel can be sticky in after powder contact, powder is caused to be difficult to exclude, the compression of another aspect airflow is empty
The impact meeting compacted powder of gas, makes powder produce mechanical snap with mould water channel inwall.Once residual powder can not be complete
Exclude, very big impact can be caused in follow-up heat treatment and using middle, for example:The powder not excluded meeting and mould in heat treatment
Tool matrix is sintered together, and Partial Blocking water route causes cooling effect drastically to decline;Or the remaining powder being blended in cooling water
End can be flow at the sealing of injection machine valve, affect valve efficiency etc..
