Abstract
An additive manufacturing apparatus (100) capable of performing additive manufacturing by supplying a powder material to a workpiece and irradiating the workpiece with a laser beam includes a cover body (130) defining a machining area (AR) in which additive manufacturing is performed on the workpiece, a window (WD) provided in the cover body (130), and a shutter (150) provided on the machining area (AR) side of the window (WD) and configured to be openable and closable with respect to the window (WD). A reflector (RF) for reflecting the laser beam is provided on a surface on the machining area (AR) side of the shutter (150).
Claims11
An additive manufacturing apparatus configured to perform additive manufacturing by supplying a powder material to a workpiece and irradiating the workpiece with a laser beam, the additive manufacturing apparatus comprising:
- a cover body defining a machining area in which additive manufacturing is performed on the workpiece;
- a window provided in the cover body;
- and
- a shutter provided on a machining area side of the window and configured to be openable and closable with respect to the window,
- wherein a reflector configured to reflect the laser beam is provided on a surface on the machining area side of the shutter.
A method for controlling an additive manufacturing apparatus configured to perform additive manufacturing by supplying a powder material to a workpiece and irradiating the workpiece with a laser beam,
- the additive manufacturing apparatus including
- a cover body defining a machining area in which additive manufacturing is performed on the workpiece,
- a window provided in the cover body, and
- a shutter provided on a machining area side of the window and configured to be openable and closable with respect to the window,
- a reflector configured to reflect the laser beam being provided on a surface on the machining area side of the shutter, and
- the control method comprising a step of closing the shutter before additive manufacturing of the workpiece is started.
A non-transitory recording medium storing a control program for controlling an additive manufacturing apparatus configured to perform additive manufacturing by supplying a powder material to a workpiece and irradiating the workpiece with a laser beam,
- the additive manufacturing apparatus including
- a cover body defining a machining area in which additive manufacturing is performed on the workpiece,
- a window provided in the cover body, and
- a shutter provided on a machining area side of the window and configured to be openable and closable with respect to the window,
- a reflector configured to reflect the laser beam being provided on a surface on the machining area side of the shutter, and
- the control program causing the additive manufacturing apparatus to execute a step of closing the shutter before additive manufacturing of the workpiece is started.
