Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of 3D printing equipment, and particularly relates to large-size SLM (selective laser melting) equipment capable of saving metal powder.
Background
3D printing is a rapid prototyping technique. Based on the digital model file, the hierarchical data of the part is generated by computer aided design and is led into a forming device, and the powder material is sintered layer by layer through a laser so as to realize the forming of the part. The specific process is as follows: the moving system powder laying mechanism lays a layer of powder material on the upper surface of the formed part or the base material, the optical path system scans the section profile of the layer, the layer is sintered, and the layer is bonded with the formed part or the base material; and after the sintering of one layer of section is finished, the motion system drives the forming platform to descend by one layer thickness, the powder spreading device spreads a layer of uniform and dense powder on the forming platform, and the sintering of a new layer of section is carried out until the printing of the whole part is finished.
With the continuous increase of the forming size of SLM equipment, the powder spreading area and the powder spreading amount are also larger and larger. When large-size annular or thin-walled parts are printed, the whole forming platform of the SLM equipment needs to be fully paved with metal powder, however, the powder paved in the hollow part of the part has little effect on the part forming, but increases the load of a motion system, so that the control difficulty of the motion system is increased, the powder utilization rate is reduced, and the production cost is increased. Therefore, on the premise of ensuring the forming quality of the part, the powder is saved as much as possible, and the production cost is reduced.
