PRODUCTION DEVICE AND PRODUCTION METHOD OF METAL POWDER SINTERED COMPONENT

摘要

Manufacturing equipment (1) for a metal powder sintered component comprises: a powder layer forming portion (2) that supplies metal powder (11) to form a powder layer (12); a light beam irradiator (3) that irradiates a give point on the powder layer (12) with light beams (L) to sinter the powder layer (12) and thus form a sintered layer (13); and a cutter (4) that cuts a shaped object (14) in which sintered layers (13) are integrally stacked. The light beam irradiator (3) has a scan head X shaft (37x) that moves a scan head (37) in X direction parallel to a surface irradiated with light beams and a scan head Y shaft (37y) that moves the scan head in Y direction, so that the scan head (37) moves in a direction parallel to the irradiated surface to perform irradiation with light beams (L). Since the scan head (37) moves parallel to the irradiated surface, the irradiated area can be increased. Since the irradiation height can be small, the accuracy of light beam (L) scanning can be enhanced.
