The invention relates to a 3D
laser printing
system and method based on a
robot. A mechanical arm is utilized for driving a
laser printing head unit for 3D printing, and comprises a
machine base, a horizontal
rotating disc, an arm joint, an upper arm, an
elbow joint, a lower arm, a
wrist joint, a
robot wrist, a connecting disc, a protection
gas supply pipeline, and a
powder supply pipeline connected with a
powder stock bin. The connecting disc is connected with the
laser printing head unit, the connecting disc drives the
laser printing head unit to rotate, and the protection
gas supply pipeline and the
powder supply pipeline are fixed to the upper arm and the lower arm through fixing rings. The end of the protection
gas supply pipeline and the end of the powder supply pipeline are connected with the
laser printing head unit. The 3D
laser printing system and method have the advantages that
metal parts, especially stainless steel
alloy parts, in any shape can be directly machined and manufactured, and the
machining and
manufacturing efficiency of the
metal parts, especially the stainless steel
alloy parts, in the complex shapes is greatly improved. Adopted
metal powder is directly sprayed according to the shapes of the parts, and little powder is left, and can be recycled and reused.
