Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing metallic components according to the preamble of the main claim and the use of these components.
- the production of components using rapid prototyping enables the direct construction of a model from a 3D CAD data model. These processes are mostly designed for processing plastics.
- the process of selective laser sintering has been developed for the production of metallic workpieces.
- a metal powder is applied in layers according to a controlled model template and locally sintered by a laser beam and connected to the previous layer. For this purpose, the focused beam is scanned by the scanning unit over the areas to be exposed.
- laser sintering is also used for the production of tools for injection molding and die casting (rapid tooling).
- the low build-up rate of the components produced in the laser sintering process means that large-sized components cannot be manufactured economically.
- this method is limited to workpieces with a small volume. After local heating of the powder by absorption of part of the laser radiation, it cools down again. there volume contraction occurs which leads to tensile stresses in the respective layer. With increasing component height, these tensions add up and the workpiece deforms.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a method which also enables large-scale components to be produced economically.
- a component is then manufactured in such a way that the component designed in a CAD system is first broken down into individual modules and these modules are manufactured in such a way that a base body is first produced and arranged in a laser sintering system and that a body is located on one or more surfaces of the base body , which results from the difference between the base body and the final module shape, is built up successively from a powder material by laser sintering process, so that after the laser sintering process is completed, a module having the final shape is created and that the modules produced in this way are assembled into one component.
- the base body consists of solid material.
- the modules produced according to this process are used as modules for tool inserts that are used in a production tool.
- Manufacturing tools manufactured in this way can be used in particular for plastic injection molding, die casting, hot compaction, the forging process and sheet metal forming.
- the connection is, for example, a screw connection.
- the modules can also be installed in a production tool for use with tools.
- Fig.l Schematic representation of the process of building a module
- Fig.2 Cross section through a component to be manufactured
- Fig. 3 Representation of the assembly process of the modules for the component according to Fig. 2
- FIG. 4 Representation of a modular tool insert
- laser sintering systems are used to carry out the process. These have a laser, usually a C0 2 or Nd: YAG laser, an optical device with a focusing lens, a PC-controlled galvanometer scanner for deflecting the laser beam, a construction platform on which the laser beam sintered parts are generated and a dosing and coating unit.
- the process of the laser sintering process is as follows: a thin layer of powder is applied to a work surface and then exposed to a laser beam in accordance with the cutting plane of the component geometry. A three-dimensional body is built up layer by layer. For this purpose, the bodies constructed in a CAD system must first be converted into the STL data format via an interface. The bodies are described here by triangulated surfaces.
- This 3D data is then broken down into layers for each height of the component. Typical layer heights are 0.05 mm - 0.2 mm.
- a thin layer of powder is first distributed over a platform by a scraper.
- the focused laser beam with a diameter of 0.2 - 0.5 mm illuminates Then the contour of the body and then with a filling algorithm trace the volume of the part.
- the powder particles are melted or melted locally and, depending on the energy supplied, form a structure with a maximum porosity of 40% up to complete compaction. Due to the relatively high scanning speeds compared to the beam diameter, the duration of the local heat supply is only in the range of a few milliseconds.
- the heat transport within the layer takes place through radiation, convection and heat conduction.
- the heat transfer properties of both the powder and the atmosphere influence the formation of the temperature profile.
- the minimum wall thickness is slightly larger than the focus diameter, since the areas in the immediate vicinity of the laser beam are also heated above the activation limit by heat conduction.
- Fig.l the process of building a laser sintered body 1, 2 on a base body 3, 4 is shown schematically.
- the basic bodies 3, 4 are prefabricated in series by milling in various sizes. In this way, they can be manufactured cost-effectively with high precision, since only a small machining volume is required.
- the designer selects the most suitable sizes from the range of available basic bodies and fits them into the required CAD geometry, which is based on the tool to be manufactured.
- the structure 1, 2 to be applied by laser sintering is determined.
- the data are processed in terms of production technology and the base bodies 3, 4 are then placed on the construction platform 5 of the laser intersystem.
- the building process is started and the geometry resulting from the later module contour is generated by laser sintering.
- each module 7, 8, 9 consists of a base body 7a, 8a, 9a and a body 7b, 8b, 9b built thereon in the laser sintering process.
- the bodies 7b, 8b, 9b result, as already described above, from the difference between the module contour 7,8,9 and the base body 7a, 8a, 9a.
- the surfaces of the modules 7, 8, 9 thus produced are finished after the laser sintering process.
- the modules 7, 8, 9 are preferably used for a plastic die or injection molding tool insert 10, as shown in FIG.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de produire des éléments métalliques, notamment des inserts d'outils. Un élément (6) mis au point dans un système de CAO est décomposé en modules individuels (7, 8, 9) et ces modules sont produits de manière à donner d'abord lieu à un corps de base (7a, 8a, 9a) et à le placer dans une installation de frittage par laser, puis à produire successivement sur ledit corps de base (7a, 8a, 9a), un corps (7b, 8b, 9b) résultant de la différence entre le corps de base (7a, 8a, 9a) et la forme des modules (7, 8, 9), à partir de matière pulvérulente, par frittage par laser. Une fois le processus de frittage par laser terminé, on obtient un module (7, 8, 9) présentant une forme finale. Les modules (7, 8, 9) ainsi produits sont assemblés en un élément (6).
