Protective Atmosphere 3-Axis / 5-Axis Metal DED Additive Manufacturing System
Presentation of the equipment's characteristics
The equipment operates inside a fully sealed chamber filled with argon, capable of maintaining ultra-low moisture and oxygen levels below 10 ppm. This high-purity processing environment enables reliable additive manufacturing of highly reflective and reactive metals such as copper, aluminum, magnesium, titanium, and zirconium.
With its stable, contamination-free atmosphere control, the system is ideal for advanced machining, scientific research, high-performance component fabrication, and new material development. It provides optimal conditions for industries requiring precise metallurgical quality, oxidation-free processing, and high-integrity metal structures.
Powerful Functionality
The system integrates a three-axis motion platform with a dual-axis positioning mechanism, enabling five-axis coordinated motion. This configuration supports complex multi-angle deposition and high-precision additive manufacturing.
High-Efficiency Powder Feeding
Equipped with high-power needle-type powder feeding and ring-shaped water-cooled powder nozzles, the system ensures stable and precise powder delivery to meet the demands of fine-detail DED additive processing.
Intelligent Control
Features a centralized intelligent control system that supports 2D/3D model import, slice processing, and automatic toolpath planning. Designed for simplified operation and improved production efficiency.
High Reflectivity Resistance
Certain metal materials exhibit high reflectivity to laser beams, which reduces processing efficiency. The system is engineered to handle high-reflective metals effectively, ensuring stable energy absorption and consistent deposition quality.
Inert Gas Protection
The sealed chamber is filled with inert gas to create a controlled atmosphere, providing effective protection for the molten pool and preventing oxidation during the additive manufacturing process.
Optional Modules
Optional features include CCD molten pool monitoring, closed-loop temperature control, electromagnetic stirring, ultrasonic vibration, and other advanced process-enhancement modules that improve forming quality and material properties.
