Abstract: The present disclosure provides a device and method for powder distribution and an additive manufacturing method, wherein different size or kind of powders could be chosen to be accommodated within a receptacle. The receptacle can uniformly mix the powder by a rotation movement, pour out the powders by the rotation movement and distribute the powders for forming a layer by a translation movement. In another embodiment, the receptacle further comprises a heating element for preheating the powders. Not only can the present disclosure uniformly mix the powders so as to reduce the thermal deformation and distribute the powder layer compactly, but also can the present disclosure distribute different kinds of powder in different layer so as to increase the diversity in additive manufacturing.

Abstract translation: 本公开内容提供了用于粉末分配的装置和方法以及添加剂制造方法，其中可以选择将不同尺寸或种类的粉末容纳在容器内。 容器可以通过旋转运动均匀地混合粉末，通过旋转运动倾倒粉末，并通过平移运动分布用于形成层的粉末。 在另一个实施例中，插座还包括用于预热粉末的加热元件。 本发明不仅可以均匀地混合粉末，以减少热变形并且紧密地分布粉末层，而且本公开也可以在不同的层中分配不同种类的粉末，以增加添加剂制造的多样性。
