Description

Method for metal 3D printing of unsupported structure
Technical Field

The 3D printing technology is widely applied to various aspects such as medical treatment, fashion, industry, aerospace and the like. The metal 3D printing technology has been deeply applied in the field of mold industry. Metal 3D printing requires complete melting of the metal powder to directly shape the metal part, thus requiring a high power laser as an energy source. Before the laser starts scanning, metal powder is laid on the printing substrate, and then the laser beam selectively melts the powder on the substrate according to the contour information of the current layer to process the shape of the current layer. And (4) continuing the printing task of the next layer thickness when the current layer is finished, and processing layer by layer until the whole part is processed. Due to this special forming process, the workpiece undergoes multiple rapid cooling and heating in the forming process, and the residual thermal stress inside the workpiece is large.
According to the principle of gravity, if an object is suspended with a certain face at an angle greater than 45 degrees from the vertical, a fall may occur. For 3D printing, the 45 ° rule still exists. Although a certain adhesion property can appear after the metal material is melted in the printing process, the printing difficulty of the 45-degree suspension structure is aggravated by the thermal stress and deformation of the workpiece, and when the suspension structure is seriously collapsed and deformed in the printing process, the forming failure is formed. At present, aiming at collapse in the cantilever structure process, the adopted method is to add a support structure below a cantilever to assist in forming. And after the workpiece is formed, removing the support structure. The addition of the support can greatly ensure the forming of parts, but also increase the printing cost of workpieces. In addition, the removal of the support takes a considerable time and cost. Finally, some cantilever structures cannot add support, and according to the principle of 45 ° law, these features which cannot add support must be abandoned or modified, for example, the feature angle is adjusted to 50 °, and finally the feature of the part is corrected by machining.
