Abstract: A powder supply management system for a laser forming device, includes: a hopper for discharging powder; a main sampling unit which guides a portion of the powder discharged from the hopper to the laser forming device and guides the remaining powder to be discharged to another location; and a discharge monitoring unit which calculates an amount of the remaining powder separated in the main sampling unit.

Abstract: A laser shaping device includes: a supply control part provided so that stored powder is introduced and stays therein, and configured to discharge the powder by external force; and a supply driving part moving the supply control part, and providing a force to increase and then reduce a moving speed in a process of reciprocating the supply control part. The supply control part includes a passage through which the powder is introduced and discharged, and a direction of the passage is changed at least twice or more.

Abstract: A supply device for supplying powder, includes: a storage part in which the powder is stored; a supply control part which is provided such that the stored powder flows therein and remains therein, and from which the powder is discharged by external force; and a supply driving part which provides force to the supply control part. The supply driving part includes a control period in which a moving speed is increased and then reduced in a process of reciprocating the supply control part. The control period is set to perform a movement by a distance which is obtained by excluding or adding a predetermined distance from or to a total distance in the process of reciprocating the supply control part.

Abstract: A laser forming device includes a powder discharger configured to discharge powder to a molding object, a laser irradiator configured to irradiate the discharged powder with energy, and a powder supplier configured to the powder to the powder discharger. The powder discharger includes a first divider configured to surround a side surface of the laser irradiator so that the powder is introduced into the first divider and is discharged in at least two directions, and a division selector configured to rotate the first divider with the laser irradiator as an axis.

Abstract: The object of this invention is to provide a method and system for real-time monitoring and controlling the height of a deposit by using image photographing and image processing technology in a laser cladding and laser-aided direct metal manufacturing process. This invention also provides a method of controlling the intensity of laser power, which is one of the most important process variables, regardless of the operational condition of a laser power unit (401). The method and system of this invention controls the height of a deposit (205) by real-time monitoring the position and the height of a melt pool (203) and controlling the process variables using the image photographing and image processing technology in such a laser cladding and laser-aided direct metal manufacturing process based on a laser surface modification technology, such as laser surface alloying and laser cladding, or a laser-aided direct metal manufacturing technology.
