Description

Metal surface exposure type powder bed melting additive manufacturing system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of additive manufacturing, in particular to a metal surface exposure type powder bed melting additive manufacturing system.
Background
Powder bed melt additive manufacturing (including SLS and SLM) is an important series of additive manufacturing or 3D printing techniques. It is mainly a fusion of powders together by means of a high-power laser.
The process of powder bed melting additive manufacturing has the advantages that: 1) when standard metal is processed, the compactness is over 99 percent, and the good mechanical property is equivalent to that of the traditional process. 2) The types of machinable materials are continuously increased, and the machined parts can be welded in the later period. 3) The precision and the surface quality are relatively highest and can be used directly or only relatively simple post-processing is needed. Thus, from a product quality perspective, powder bed melt additive manufacturing, and SLM in particular, is most promising from a performance perspective to replace existing high performance products of the high volume industrial industry represented by the automotive industry. However, the powder bed fusion additive manufacturing process has disadvantages in that: 1) the raw materials are expensive, 2) the speed is low. This creates a serious bottleneck for the spread of technology in these industries.
The problem of expensive raw materials can be overcome by developing materials with new performance, but is limited by the power and cooperative control technology level of a laser system, and the rate can be increased only by multiple lasers at present. Taking a typical SLM technology as an example, according to reports and industrial exhibitions, the most collaborative laser beams at present are also stopped at 12 lasers, and are still in the research and development stage, and the difficulty is very high, the cost is very high, and the difficulty of debugging the process is also very high because the control collaboration of multi-laser direct irradiation heating and the problem of melt forming are complicated. Even if the printing efficiency of the SLM technology is still far from the direct energy deposition additive manufacturing printing technology (DED technology) or the emerging supersonic deposition additive manufacturing technology (SD technology), the accuracy of the DED technology and the SD technology is poor, and precise machine tool post-processing is required; also the printing efficiency of SLM technology does not rival the lower density and limited performance 3DP technology. The printing efficiency of the SLM technology is far from the production efficiency of the conventional production technology.
