When the giant components of aerospace require one-time forming with millimeter-level precision, and when the complex parts of energy equipment urgently need more efficient manufacturing solutions, the TSC LiM-X1500H ultra-meter-level metal 3D printing equipment, with an ultra-large forming space of 1500mm×1500mm×1650mm (including a standard substrate thickness of 150mm), It brings breakthrough solutions to the high-end manufacturing field, meeting the lightweight and customized production demands of large-sized, over-specification and complex-structured components in the aerospace industry.
The equipment is equipped with 16 lasers, and the maximum forming efficiency can reach 1000cm³/h. Equipped with 24 lasers, the maximum forming efficiency reaches 1500cm³/h.
To ensure efficient and stable operation, the LiM-X1500H has achieved targeted design and innovation in multiple key technologies.
Single-scraper bidirectional powder spreading solution: Compared with the double-scraper design, the single-scraper is convenient and quick to install and adjust. The bidirectional intelligent variable-speed powder spreading strategy ensures the efficiency and quality of powder spreading.
Innovative wind field design: It adopts a double-layer wind field structure, which can effectively remove smoke and dust even under an ultra-large span, significantly improving the uniformity and stability of large-format multi-laser printing.
Intelligent monitoring is stable and reliable: The forming chamber is equipped with an oxygen content monitoring system, which automatically alarms when the limit is exceeded to ensure production safety. It is equipped with a powder bed monitoring system to automatically replenish powder and issue an alarm for abnormal powder spreading.
Self-developed software system: Equipped with LiM-BP intelligent software, it supports the efficient one-time splitting of large-sized parts, pressing the "acceleration button" for large-scale additive manufacturing.
In addition, the LiM-X1500H supports multi-laser zone optimization strategies, precisely balancing print quality and efficiency. It can be integrated with a fully automatic powder circuit circulation system to achieve automatic powder flow.
Based on years of equipment research and development experience and the accumulation of tens of thousands of print tests, the LiM-X1500H demonstrates stable and reliable printing performance when facing high-end manufacturing demands such as complex components of aero engines, large load-bearing structures of space launch vehicles, and core parts of energy equipment, efficiently completing the integrated manufacturing from design drawings to physical parts.
The key parts of a certain engine printed by LiM-X1500H contain a large number of hollowed-out and reinforcing rib structures. The traditional manufacturing process is difficult and inefficient. 3D printing significantly simplifies the production process, shortens the processing cycle, and increases the forming efficiency by more than 50%. At the same time, it significantly reduces the amount of machining cutting, improves the material utilization rate, and lowers the overall cost.
Based on the excellent performance of the LiM-X1500H, the LiM-X1500HF "flight printing" equipment was creatively developed. The key component of the aerospace engine, the blade grid ring, manufactured by it has a diameter of over 1400mm. The overall structure is a composite impeller, with a large number of thin blades. The surface of the printed product is dense and free of defects, the connection structure has no weld seams or weld points, and the overall appearance is uniform and consistent. The outer surface of the parts is reasonably and evenly distributed with reinforcing ribs to enhance the overall strength and rigidity. High-temperature alloys are selected for forming to further ensure its stable performance in high-temperature, high-pressure and high-speed gas flow environments.
Amid the wave of accelerated upgrading in strategic emerging industries such as aerospace and energy power, the LiM-X1500H equipment has won multiple innovation achievement awards with its core advantage of being "big and precise". This is not only an acknowledgement of its super-large forming space of 1500mm×1500mm×1650mm and precise manufacturing capabilities, It is also an incentive for TSC to delve deeply into the core technologies of additive manufacturing. We always use lasers as our pen and innovation as our ink to outline the core competitiveness of "Made in China" in the grand blueprint of high-end manufacturing, and inject continuous and strong impetus into industrial upgrading.
