  • Publication number: 20240157448
    Abstract: A metal 3D printing device comprises a building platform, a first powder spreading arm, a second powder spreading arm, a gas stream unit and a scanning module. The building platform is for supporting the powder. The first and second powder spreading arms are spaced and configured for spreading powder. The gas stream unites comprises a gas blowing port and a gas suction port, the gas blowing port is provided in the first powder spreading arm, and the gas suction port is provided in the second powder spreading arm. The scanning module is for emitting a laser to the powder preplaced between the first and second powder spreading arms to solidify the powder to form the product.

  • Publication number: 20220097144
    Abstract: A laser printing device for making high-precision 3D products includes a platform, a device supplying and spreading powder for transporting and spreading metal powder on the top surface of the platform, a first laser source for emitting continuous laser beam, a second laser source for emitting pulsed laser beam, an optical path switching device connected with the first laser source and the second laser source for controlling and selecting the first laser source and the second laser source to emit laser beam, a scanning galvanometer system for focusing the laser beam on the platform for making the continuous laser beam melt the metal powder and a layer of a product being formed after cooling, a mechanical processing device for polishing the final surface of the product. The pulsed laser beam cuts the edge of each newly-deposited layer with geometric accuracy. A laser printing method for 3D product is also provided.
