the addictive manufacturing of automatic ultra-light structural metal parts with controllable parameters
such as porosity
was researched. Through block shaped parts and a part with complicated structure
the pore forming results of controllable ultra-light structural parts manufactured by selective laser melting was analyzed. Influences of forming technology on porosity of ultra-light structural parts were mainly discussed. The result is showed: through numerical calculation of computer
block shaped CAD model can be rapidly and automatically transformed into a controllable ultra-light structural model. Moreover
the calculation porosity error is controlled within ±2%. The experiment also shows that laser deep penetration phenomena may lead to the increase of inner wall thickness for the dangling surface
causing the negative value for the porosity error. Furthermore
the larger the calculation porosity is
the worse the negative value is. On the other hand
non-compactness of forming process may induce positive porosity error. Under the same technological condition
the larger the calculation porosity is
the smaller the error value of porosity is. In order to make the total error value of porosity can better reflect the control accuracy of the ultra-light structured pore
the density of material part of the object should be improved at the time of forming. Parts with complex structure have been successfully transformed into ultra-light structured model with 44.62% of calculation porosity according to 45% set porosity. Hgh-density selective laser melting technology is used in this paper with 42.94% of the actual measurement porosity and ≤0.06 mm of inner wall thickness error for the surface without dangling surface
which realizes a better ultra-light structured control effect.
