How to clamp these complex metal 3D printed parts with fixtures

August 10,2020.
Many metal 3D printed metal parts need to be machined to produce a precise surface, but because metal 3D printed parts are often lightweight parts with complex geometric shapes, this brings challenges to subsequent machining. When machining metal 3D printed parts, it is necessary to consider whether the rigidity of 3D printing meets the requirements of machining, how to clamp these complicated metal 3D printed parts with a jig, and a series of issues.

Metal 3D printing is a flexible technology that has fewer constraints on design. With the help of 3D printing technology, designers can realize some complex design schemes, such as lightweight structures and integrated functions. However, these advantages of additive manufacturing technology are sometimes weakened by taking into account the challenges arising from subsequent machining. If the initial design and manufacture of additively manufactured parts do not fully consider the challenges faced in subsequent machining, losses may occur due to the failure of part processing.

3D printed parts usually need to be machined to achieve precise round holes and smooth and flat surfaces, and then assembled with other parts. However, the complex and lightweight structure of 3D printed parts sometimes cannot adapt well to the processing process due to insufficient rigidity. In addition, the complex structure also increases the difficulty of safely clamping the workpiece.

1.3 Is the rigidity of the D printed parts sufficient to meet the load borne during the machining process? Will the part deviate from the tool and produce vibration, which will cause the tool to vibrate and cause poor machining results? If the rigidity of 3D printed parts is not enough to meet the needs of machining many 3D printed metal parts that need to be processed to produce accurate curved surfaces, but because 3D printed parts are often lightweight parts with complex geometric shapes, this brings subsequent processing challenge. When processing 3D printed parts, it is necessary to consider whether the rigidity of 3D printing meets the processing requirements, how to fix these complex 3D printed parts on fixtures and so on.

3D printing is a flexible technology with less restrictions on design. With the help of 3D printing technology, designers can realize complex design schemes such as lightweight structure and function integration structure. However, considering the challenges of subsequent processing, these advantages of wood additive manufacturing technology are sometimes weakened. If the initial design and manufacturing of the parts do not fully consider the challenges faced by subsequent processing, the failure of the processing of the parts may cause losses.

Three-dimensional printed parts usually need to be processed to obtain precise round holes and smooth and flat surfaces, and then assembled with other parts. However, due to the lack of rigidity, the complex and lightweight structure of 3D printed parts cannot adapt to the processing process. In addition, the complex structure also increases the difficulty of safely clamping the workpiece.

1. Is the rigidity of the 3D printed parts sufficient to meet the load during processing? Does the part deviate from the tool to produce vibration, which causes the tool to vibrate, leading to poor processing results? If the rigidity of the 3D printed parts is not enough to meet the processing requirements, how to solve these problems?

Second, if the stiffness problem is solved, the next challenge is how to align on the machine tool. During the printing process of 3D printed parts, there may be some deformation and lack of clear data. This means that when processing 3D printed parts, you first need to find the "good" part of the part to obtain the optimal five-axis alignment of the part. very important.
