The 3D printing technology is basically the same as the common printing working principle, the printer is internally provided with printing materials such as liquid or powder and the like, the printing materials are subjected to layer superposition under the control of a computer after being connected with the computer, and finally, a blueprint on the computer is changed into a real object. The 3D printing technology for ablation by adopting Laser mainly comprises Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technologies, and realizes 3D printing by Sintering titanium alloy, cobalt-chromium alloy, stainless steel, aluminum or thermoplastic plastics, metal powder and ceramic powder.
Wherein, the processing energy source of the selective laser sintering is a laser, and the used molding material is powder or granular material. During processing, firstly, the powder is preheated to a temperature slightly lower than the melting point of the powder, then the powder is paved into a proper thickness from several micrometers to millimeters, laser beams are focused on the powder layers to melt the powder, selective sintering can be carried out under the control of a computer according to layered section information, next layer sintering is carried out after one layer is finished, the sintered structures of each layer are bonded together, and redundant powder is removed after all the layers are sintered, so that a sintered part can be obtained. The selective laser sintering can machine various composite structures which are difficult to manufacture by conventional machining, can mix various material powders to manufacture special alloy structural parts and even parts with layered change materials, and has the advantages of multi-degree-of-freedom machining, wide material selection range, higher machining precision and the like.
For the field of industrial metal 3D printing, powder consumables are still one of important factors which restrict the large-scale application of the technology. At present, no industrial standards or national standards such as metal 3D printing material standards, process specifications, part performance standards and the like are formulated in China, and the evaluation method generally accepted in the industry is to continue to use the cast state standard corresponding to the metal powder or to negotiate the requirement of the relaxation index on the basis of the standard. However, because the correlation between the chemical components and the content of the powder consumable and the quality and stability of the 3D printed product is extremely high, how to obtain the component distribution of the 3D printed product on line to monitor the ablation effect of 3D printing becomes an urgent problem to be solved in the field of 3D printing.
