Alternatively, the convex mirror 47 is conical and the tilted mirror 48 is concave. In operation, as shown in fig. 6, a laser beam is emitted from the laser mechanism 50 into the mounting base 42 through the laser tube 43, and then reflected to the convex mirror 47 of the print head 41 through the inclined mirror 48; then, it is reflected to the ring reflector 46 and finally collected at one end of the showerhead 412. Optionally, the showerhead 412 is funnel-shaped. In other embodiments, the laser may be a ring laser, a polygonal linear laser, or a rotatable polygonal linear laser. In order to realize coaxial powder feeding in the light, the printing mechanism 40 comprises a concentration pipe 49, the concentration pipe 49 extends from the lower part of the convex mirror 47 to the spray head 412, and the concentration pipe 49 is positioned at the central position in the laser; one end of the powder feeding pipe 44 is connected with the concentration pipe 49, and one end of the gas conveying pipe 45 is connected with the concentration pipe 49, so that metal powder falls vertically, powder splashing is reduced, and a laser axis is coaxial with the center of a powder beam; the other end of the powder feeding pipe 44 is connected to one side of the support 411, and the other end of the gas conveying pipe 45 is connected to one side of the support 411.

Since the powder spot of the print head 41 has no focus, no matter how far the laser beam and the collecting pipe 49 are, the powder is always conveyed through the laser focusing point, and the focus is slightly changed in the processing process, so that the change of the powder and the laser focusing is not influenced. The path of the powder entering the laser is vertically downward, no inclined throwing phenomenon occurs, but the powder is considered to be slightly dispersed in the falling process, so that the gas and the powder are introduced into the concentration pipe 49 together, and the powder can be completely positioned in the laser molten pool by adjusting the diameter of the powder pipe. In operation, referring to fig. 6 again, the metal powder enters the concentration pipe 49 from the powder feeding mechanism 60 through the powder feeding pipe 44, meanwhile, the gas enters the concentration pipe 49 from the gas conveying mechanism 70 through the gas conveying pipe 45, finally, the metal powder flows out of the concentration pipe 49 under the action of gas and gravity, then melting and solidification are rapidly completed under the action of laser scanning, light-powder coupling occurs, and 3D printing is achieved; the gas is delivered to the laser processing area through the gas delivery pipe 45, and a gas protection environment for the processing area is formed. Alternatively, the metal powder is iron powder and the gas is nitrogen. In order to adjust the height of the print head 41, the printing mechanism 40 further includes a moving member connected to the mounting base 42, and a driving member (not shown) for driving the moving member to move up and down; the moving member is slidably disposed on the support frame 22 of the fixing mechanism 10.

When the laser printer works, cooling water flows through the water inlet pipe of the printing head 41 from the cooling mechanism 80, then flows through the laser mechanism 50 through the water outlet pipe of the printing head 41, and finally flows back to the cooling mechanism 80, so that heat of the printing head 41 and the laser mechanism 50 is taken out. In order to monitor and feed back the status of the laser weld pool in real time, the additive composite forming apparatus 100 includes an optical sensor (not shown); the optical sensor is connected with one side of the moving part so as to be lifted synchronously with the printing head 41, and online real-time optimization of the laser process is realized.
