In recent years, 3D printing technology has been rapidly developing and
application in fabricating metal components. This technology has become
increasingly prevalent. The research introduces a 3D printing device (AM) with an
integrated material rolling mechanism, specifically designed for producing thin
metal parts, and developed a manufacturing process of thin parts. The aim of this
study is to enhance the quality of thin parts produced by using 3D printing
technology. The authors primarily employed two research methods: theoretical
analysis (covering 3D printing technology, material rolling, quality control
measures, and production optimization) and experimental investigation (printing
process of thin parts to evaluate and compare the quality). The research results
have identified the most suitable 3D printing parameters for the best altitude.
Furthermore, it has demonstrated a significant improvement in the quality of thin
parts to conventional 3D printing methods.
