3D printing using metal powder as raw material will be slower than printing with other materials, because the printing speed needs to be determined according to the melting time of the raw materials. The advantages of metal 3D printing are that it will be more solid and last longer than other materials. So what are the precautions for users in metal 3D printing?
1. The machine cannot be moved at will during metal 3D printing.
Because it is necessary to continuously eject metal melts at a fixed position during 3D printing, if the metal 3D printing machine is moved at this time, the position of the nozzle ejection will be offset, which will cause the appearance of the finished product and the fixed point to change abruptly, resulting in a difference between the product and the initial production state and plan, affecting the previous efforts and manufacturing waste of raw materials.
2. The quality of raw materials for metal products must be guaranteed.
The quality and type of the metal used must be guaranteed. Some metals have more active metal properties and are actually not suitable for use in this scenario, because the state of metal 3D printing itself needs to be maintained and stable for a long time. If the metal situation is unstable due to excessive liveliness, it will affect the subsequent product quality, so pay attention.
3. Do not touch the power supply and switch during the printing process.
Be sure to touch the switch and power supply during the printing process to prevent the program from stopping. If the metal 3D printing stops midway, it needs to be drawn from the beginning, which will lead to waste of the metal raw materials used before and cause confusion in the internal program. It is very likely to damage the machine and affect its service life, causing some problems in subsequent use.
The cost of metal 3D printing needs to be determined according to the price and quantity of the metal used. When performing metal 3D printing, it is necessary not only to pay attention to not moving the machine at will during printing to affect the production of the finished product, but also to ensure that the quality of the raw materials of the metal products is not too low. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to not touching the switch at will during the printing process to prevent power failure.
