Description
Summary:A novel additive manufacturing technology using metal fused-coating additive manufacturing (MFCAM) was developed to fabricate metal samples. The effects of layer thickness on the final shape are discussed in the experiment. Under the same deposition rate, the height of the deposited specimen increases with increasing thickness, and the width of the deposited specimen decreases with the increase of the thickness. The purpose of this work is to provide qualitative and quantitative parameter information during metal forming deposition. Experimental results show that when the layer thickness was set within a reasonable range, the MFCAM process can fabricate low-melting metal parts with high material efficiency (more than 90%). Based on the above research, three-dimensional parts were fabricated to further verify the material efficiency.
