Recently, Tsinghua University, Tianjin High-end Equipment Research Institute incubator - Tianjin Qing Yan Zhisheng Technology Co., Ltd. has released its latest generation of open source electron beam metal 3D printer QbeamLab, the printer core software with independent, key components of the autonomous, modular Can be customized, process parameters open source, since the diagnosis of self-recovery, long-term stability and reliability of six major characteristics, the first domestic.
Lin Feng, a professor at Tsinghua University and chief scientist at Wisdom Technology, said that EBSM metal 3D printing uses electron beams as the energy source to make solid components by layer-by-layer melting of metal powders under high vacuum conditions, EBSM technology has the characteristics of high density of parts, low oxygen content, low thermal stress, easy deformation and cracking, low price of powder consumables and high printing efficiency. In the case of metal materials, especially hard Refractory metal materials with 3D printing has unique advantages and applications of value, in orthopedics, aerospace and other fields widely used.
For a long time, most of the research and application of EBSM technology was based on metal equipment and platforms, and domestic self-equipment was in a blanket. "Tianjin Institute of Advanced Manufacturing Technology and Engineering, Tianjin High-end Equipment Research Institute, Tsinghua University, Tianjin Qing Guo Chao, General Manager of Zhisheng Technology Co., Ltd., said: "Once QbeamLab equipment was launched, it has won 4 orders including well-known enterprises and vocational colleges such as CSIC and Tianjin Polytechnic University. It is worth mentioning that the products A well - known overseas business orders, the successful realization of domestic high - end metal 3D printer exports.
