Abstract

3D printing of metal materials plays an important role in the ranks of 3D printing and is one of the core development directions of 3D printing in the future. According to the different forms of metal raw materials, it can be roughly divided into powder printing, solid-state printing and liquid printing. Printed with powder metal as raw materials include laser selective sintering technology (SLS), laser selective melting technology (SLM), 3D printing technology (3DP), etc. printed with solid metal as raw materials include arc fuse deposition molding(WAAM)and layered solid manufacturing(LOM), etc. according to the different forms of 3D printing raw materials, this paper explores the applicable printing processes of different raw materials, and discusses the processing methods, process characteristics and research status of each process.
