目前国内外SLM研究基本都默认激光光束必须符合高斯分布,一旦提升功率就带来不稳定的小孔现象导致量下降,从而无法根本上提升打印效率。据相关研究表明,采用近平顶分布光源可以提高打印质量(显著抑制飞溅、减少打印缺陷),另外在打印铜/铝等高反射材料时,短波长激光可以显著提高激光吸收率,减少打印缺陷产生,进而提高打印效率和质量。At present, SLM research at home and abroad basically defaults that the laser beam must conform to the Gaussian distribution. Once the power is increased, the unstable pinhole phenomenon will lead to a decrease in the amount, so that the printing efficiency cannot be fundamentally improved. According to relevant studies, the use of a near-flat-top distributed light source can improve the printing quality (significantly suppress splashes and reduce printing defects). In addition, when printing highly reflective materials such as copper/aluminum, short-wavelength lasers can significantly improve the laser absorption rate and reduce printing defects. production, thereby improving printing efficiency and quality.
