Problems solved by technology

[0002] Due to the particularity of rapid prototyping, large stress will be generated during sintering, which may easily cause deformation and warping, and the workpiece needs to be sintered on the substrate; therefore, before each molding construction, the construction platform needs to be leveled to ensure that all The uniformity and thickness of the first layer of metal powder paved so that the metal powder can completely penetrate the first layer of metal powder to the construction platform after scanning and sintering. If the uniformity of the first layer of metal powder cannot be guaranteed, some powders cannot It is completely melted on the substrate, so it cannot support and fix the formed workpiece very well, thus affecting the subsequent sintering of the workpiece
[0003] In the existing rapid prototyping technology, one way of leveling the substrate is to adjust it manually, that is, to use a micrometer to measure the distance from multiple points on the substrate to the powder-coating board to realize the adjustment of the substrate. The substrate in the prior art The leveling process is complex and cumbersome, and the leveling accuracy is not high, which reduces the processing and sintering efficiency of the equipment; another way of leveling the substrate is to complete the leveling of the substrate through the joint efforts of the sensing unit, signal processing module, and lifting adjustment mechanism. Although the manpower is liberated to a certain extent and the adjustment accuracy is improved, the structure of the equipment becomes more complicated and the cost increases

Abstract

The invention provides an additive manufacturing method, comprising the following steps: using a detachable substrate with holes on the surface, and laying a layer of polymer powder material with excellent melt fluidity on the substrate; Pass inert gas to reduce the oxygen content in the equipment cavity to less than 0.5%, heat the polymer powder material until it is completely melted into a melt, stop heating after the melt is naturally leveled on the surface of the substrate, and the melt is cooled and solidified into a solid Finally, a layer of substrate leveling layer is formed to complete the calibration and leveling of the substrate; the stl file is loaded, and the workpiece is removed after sintering to remove the substrate leveling layer. In the present invention, a layer of leveling layer is formed on the substrate with holes on the surface by using a material with excellent melt fluidity, which does not require complicated substrate calibration and leveling processes, and at the same time, the holes on the substrate enhance the relationship between the substrate and the leveling layer Adhesion.
