3D Printing Manufacture Micro-Channel Structure by Metal Micro Droplet-on-Demand Deposition

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to realize the rapid-flexible manufacture of metal micro-channel radiator structure,metal micro-droplet deposition manufacture was proposed and an experimental setup was developed. The principle of pneumatic droplet-on-demand generator and the process of single droplet ejected from the nozzle were analyzed. The calculation model of forming wall thickness was established. On this basis, a micro-channel radiator structure was fabricated. The above research show that the manufacturing of micro-channel structure by micro-droplet deposition is feasible. This works offer a new manufacturing method for micro-channel radiator structure.
