Title:
Direct metal electrophotograph laminated modeling method
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6302532
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
Methods for printing a three-dimensional part are provided. The method can include charging an outer surface (19) of a rotating photoreceptor drum (18) with an electrostatic charge; neutralizing the electrostatic charge on a portion of the outer surface (19) of the rotating photoreceptor drum surface (19) to form a layer definition corresponding to the neutralized portion; transferring a plurality of charged metal powder particles onto the outer surface (19) of the rotating photoreceptor drum (18) corresponding to the neutralized portion; and transferring the charged metal powder particles from the outer surface (19) of the rotating photoreceptor drum onto a workpart (70) to form a metal print layer (66,68).
