Rapid Prototyping Technology of Titanium Alloy Laser
Since the 1990s,with the rapid development of computer technology, laser direct manufacturing technology has become a hot topic in the field of manufacturing research. There are two methods in laser direct rapid prototyping that can be used to directly fabricate metal parts, namely, Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and Near King Forming (LENS). The research on laser direct rapid prototyping technology of large-scale titanium alloy structure mainly focuses on the United States. US AeroMet company in 2002 to 2005 to achieve a direct laser forming titanium alloy structure in the application of aircraft. 2001 Aero-Met company began for the Boeing company F / A-18E / F carrier-based joint fighter / attack aircraft small batch trial engine compartment thrust beam, wing rotary folding joints, spar, with reinforced wall panels such as titanium Alloy sub - bearing structure. 2002 developed a "Ti6Al4V titanium alloy laser rapid prototyping products," aerospace materials standards (ASM4999) and in the same year in the world to achieve the first laser rapid prototyping of titanium alloy sub-bearing structure in the F / A-18 and other fighters on the verification assessment and installed applications. In the aerospace sector, the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (NASA) is selected for the manufacture of complex metal parts for aerospace engines in several models in 2012. Laser direct rapid prototyping technology is also often used for titanium alloy parts or mold repair.
China's titanium alloy structure of direct laser rapid prototyping technology research, since 2001 has been subject to the government's major scientific and technological management departments attach great importance to the aircraft, the engine and other titanium alloy structure of laser rapid prototyping manufacturing process, complete sets of equipment R & D and engineering applications Key technology research and other aspects have made great progress.

Compared with the research and application of domestic aviation field, the application of laser rapid prototyping technology in China's aerospace field is basically still in the initial stage. In fact, the aerospace liquid and solid rocket engine difficult to process materials, complex sections of the structural parts and weapons difficult to process materials,light weight heat-resistant structural parts can be well selected laser melting technology to achieve high-precision machining.
