Abstract:
An optical processing nozzle that homogeneously supplies a fluid to a processing surface in optical processing is provided. The optical processing nozzle includes a beam path that is arranged so that a beam can pass through the beam path toward a processing surface in order to perform processing using a beam guided from a light source, and a channel structure that is arranged around the beam path and is configured to eject a fluid toward the processing surface. The channel structure includes an inflow port through which the fluid flows, at least two passage holes through which the fluid flowing from the inflow port passes, a channel that guides the fluid from the inflow port to the passage holes, and an ejection port from which the fluid having passed through the at least two passage holes is ejected toward the processing surface. The at least two passage holes are arranged to be spatially symmetrical with respect to the inflow port, and the ejection port is arranged to be spatially symmetrical with respect to the optical axis of a beam coming out from the beam path.
Abstract:
This invention provides an information processing apparatus for fabricating a desired three-dimensional fabricated object by suppressing shrinkage of a fabricated object caused by a temperature drop in a laminated portion at a fabricating time of the three-dimensional fabricated object. This information processing apparatus includes an acquirer that acquires laminating and fabricating data of a three-dimensional fabricating model, and a data generator that generates laminating and fabricating data of a three-dimensional fabricating model added, when a width in a predetermined direction on a laminating surface of a fabricated object is equal to or larger than a threshold, with a shrinkage suppression structure model for suppressing shrinkage after laminating and fabricating, in the predetermined direction. The shrinkage suppression structure model is a plate-like structure model extending in the predetermined direction and having a length which can suppress shrinkage after laminating and fabricating.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide an additive manufactured object which is free of solidification cracking due to, e.g., heat shrinkage during additive manufacturing of an aluminum alloy; which is free of anisotropy in strength, and has high strength and ductility. An aluminum alloy powder for additive manufacturing includes aluminum alloy particles in which not less than 0.01% by mass and not more than 1% by mass of a grain refiner is trapped. This grain refiner is at least one selected from the borides and carbides of group 4 elements.
Abstract:
A three-dimensional deposition method and a three-dimensional object are provided. Included are: a step of supplying a powder (P) toward an outer peripheral surface (96) of a shaft (95), irradiating the powder (P) with a laser beam (L), and sintering or melting and solidifying at least a part of the powder (P) irradiated with the laser beam (L) to form a formed layer, so as to form a three-dimensional object body (156) in which an internal space (157) communicates with an exterior through an opening (158); a step of discharging a residue such as the powder (P) in the internal space (157) from the opening (158) to an exterior; and a step of emitting the laser beam (L) toward an end surface of the opening (158) to melt and solidify the formed layer, so as to close the opening (158).
Abstract:
A three-dimensional deposition device and a three-dimensional deposition device method are provided. Included are: a powder passage (43) and a nozzle injection opening (45) that supply a powder (P) toward a working surface (91) of an object (90) to be processed; a laser path (44) that irradiates the powder (P) with a laser beam (L) to sinter or melt and solidify at least a part of the powder (P) irradiated with the laser beam (L) so as to form formed layers (151, 152, 153, and 154); a rotation table unit (17) serving as an irradiation angle changing unit that changes an irradiation angle (θ) of the laser beam (L) emitted from the laser path (44) to the working surface (91); and a controller (52) that controls the rotation table unit (17) so that the irradiation angle (θ) on an overhanging side with respect to the working surface (91) is less than 90° in a range in which the formed layers (151, 152, 153, and 154) can be formed.
Abstract:
A calculation device used in a manufacturing apparatus for producing a 3D manufactured object from a solidified layer formed by heating a layer-shaped material layer formed of a powder material by irradiation with an energy beam includes a detection unit configured to obtain a state of the material layer based on a shape of the formed material layer, and an output unit configured to output information on the state of the material layer obtained by the detection unit to set a manufacturing condition of the manufacturing apparatus.
