Abstract
An additive manufacturing method for making an additive object, which includes the steps of : introducing a mechanical wave to vibrate a holding platform; melting a raw material powder into a melted raw material; and depositing the melted raw material in multiple layers on the holding platform, vibrated by the mechanical wave to form the additive object.
Claims18
An additive manufacturing method for making an additive object, comprising:
- introducing a mechanical wave to vibrate a holding platform;
- melting a raw material powder into a melted raw material;
- and
- depositing the melted raw material in multiple layers on the holding platform vibrated by the mechanical wave to form the additive object.
An additive manufacturing machine adapted to form an additive object, said additive manufacturing machine comprising:
- a holding platform;
- and
- an additive manufacturing device including
- a raw material supplying unit, and
- a melting unit including
- a gas delivering member,
- a chamber that receives an inert gas delivered by said gas delivering member and a raw material powder delivered by said raw material supplying unit and that supplies the raw material powder to said holding platform, and
- a melting gun that cooperates with said holding platform to generate a plasma transferred arc adapted to melt the raw material powder supplied from said chamber to form at least two deposited layers that constitute the additive object and that are disposed on said holding platform.
An additive manufacturing machine adapted to form an additive object, said additive manufacturing machine comprising:
- a holding platform;
- an additive manufacturing device including a raw material supplying unit, and a melting unit for melting a raw material powder delivered by said raw material supplying unit to said holding platform to form at least two deposited layers that constitute the additive object;
- and
- a vibrating unit that is in contact with said holding platform and that generates a mechanical wave transferred through said holding platform to the deposited layers.
