Metal 3D Printing

As a branch of 3D printing technology, metal 3D printing is an important advanced manufacturing processing method. Metal 3D printing technology has been widely applied in a variety of areas, including the aerospace field, biomedical research and mold manufacturing. This paper proposed a new method for melting metal wires via contact resistance heating. Through the combination of a numerical control technique, a mechanical structure and computer software, a metal 3D printing device was designed based on the principle of fused deposition modeling. The printing nozzle of the device can be heated to over 1400°C in a few minutes. Additionally, we performed experiments with aluminum wire to demonstrate the feasibility of the printing method. The designed consumer-level desktop metal 3D printer cost less than 1500 dollars to fabricate.

Aerostatic porous bearings have been applied widely in precision devices to achieve higher accuracy of motion. Conventional aerostatic porous bearings are made of porous graphite, porous ceramics or sintered metal porous material, having a thickness of several millimetres and a surface-restricted layer. However, during mass production of porous bearings, the time required for the production of the porous materials and the surface restriction treatment leads to an increase in the manufacturing time and cost of the porous bearings. Accordingly, to overcome this problem, an aerostatic porous bearing with a layer thickness of several hundred µm and a support member, manufactured using metal 3D printing technology, is proposed. In this study, the optimum conditions for manufacturing the proposed aerostatic porous bearings with a direct metal laser sintering method 3D printer were investigated, and characteristics of the prototype of the proposed bearings were investigated experimentally.
