    Three-dimensional components can be manufactured by layer welding of metal powder or wires by means of high power laser beams. The deposition rate can be increased by arranging a plurality of wires symmetrically about the focus of the welding laser beam, but a much larger focus must be used to cover all the wires, but fine structures can no longer be produced. It is now proposed according to the invention that find all wires for coarse and rapid application. To produce fine structures, so many wires are withdrawn that only one wire is used and thus a smaller focus is used by moving the machining head with integrated focusing lens. Alternatively, two lasers, one with low power and a small focus and one with high power and high focus could be used.

    Proposal for patent application "Generating 3D parts from metal wires using laser radiation" 1. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, three-dimensionally shaped metal parts are machined to predetermined dimensions by cutting operations from the solid, removing the material in the form of small pieces of material such as chips (examples include turning and milling, for example). Another way of producing such parts is by sequentially applying thin layers of small workpiece particles such as powder and then bonding the particles of such a layer together as well as with the already fused layer underneath, referring to additive manufacturing processes , If the parts are made of plastic, it requires only low temperatures, which correspond to the melting point of the material and can thus realize in a very simple manner and very inexpensive 3D printer. However, if you want to produce metal components, so you have to reach the melting point, which can be carried out essentially only by means of focused high-power laser radiation (Laser Additive Manufacturing / LAM). For this type of additive manufacturing process "k®mKi" ei * .. § basically two options in question:
    On the one hand, the supplied material can be applied as a powder to a base surface and then melted down with the laser according to the respective cross-section of the workpiece and welded thereto (Selective Laser Sintering / SLS). On the other hand, the metal powder can be blown through a nozzle onto the workpiece being manufactured and melted before striking the workpiece with the aid of a laser beam, so that the melt droplets are then welded to the workpiece (Blown Powder Process).
    In this process variant, instead of the powder, a wire can also be fed to the workpiece and again melted shortly before reaching the workpiece with the aid of a high-power laser beam, which has the advantage that a larger volume per unit of time can be built up. 2. Object of the invention
    The object of the subject invention is now the volume that is applied per unit time, which is about one kilogram per hour in the currently used method, to increase substantially and thus to allow economic use.
    Another problem with the "bakery" application processes is that with a low patterning of the workpiece, a high order rate can be used (analogous to roughing in machining), while workpieces with a high degree of structuring can only be processed with a low order rate (corresponds to the finishing in the machining industry). Thus, a really industrially usable technology for the wire-fed LAM should allow on the one hand a high application rate (volume per hour) and also the possibility of switching between high application rate with coarse structure and low application rate with fine structure. 3. Inventive improvement of the laser applicator device
    Instead of a wire feeder, several e.g. used three wire nozzles and then arranged symmetrically around the low-melting laser beam. In this case, the supplied wires are melted near the workpiece by a common laser beam with a correspondingly large focus diameter together with the workpiece, so that liquefied wire material settles on the workpiece and is welded to it. In such an arrangement, of course, a higher application rate than with the supply of only one wire can be achieved, further is by the rotationally symmetrical arrangement of the wires around the melting laser beam no
    Directional dependence given also the possibility to realize a rough order by using all supplied wires and finally also to realize a finely structured construction however with lower order rate by retraction of all wires up to a single one. While in coarse construction with all wires, the focus diameter must be relatively large in order to reach all the wires and to weld to the workpiece, when fine application with only one wire, a much smaller focus diameter is used to melt only a smaller area of the workpiece, which is in the sense of a fine order. For this reason, the focusing lens must be able to be moved CNC controlled.
    Another way to achieve a relatively large focus for a coarse job and a much smaller focus for the fine job is to use two lasers. In this case, to achieve the large focus and the necessary higher laser power (to achieve the necessary for the melting of the material and its welding intensity), a diode direct laser can be used. Such lasers are available today in the power class up to 6kW. The radiation of this laser can be supplied to the machining head and the focusing lens through a 600μ fiber, for example. For the fine application, for example, a disk or fiber laser with a considerably smaller power can be used in the 5 kW to 1 kW power range, since such lasers are much more focusable than diode direct lasers. 4th embodiment of the laser applicator device according to the invention
    An embodiment of the device according to the invention Abb.l.
    A build platform (10) is from a
    Articulated robot (11) under the wire feeders (3), (4) and (5) and the machining head (2) positioned so that the laser beam (1) perpendicular to the work in progress (9) impinges. The supplied wires (6), (7) and (8) achieve this
    Workpiece (9) in the focus of the laser radiation and are melted there together with the lying under the focus workpiece area and welded. If only one wire is used, the size of the focus is reduced by moving the machining head (2) and directed to the end of the wire.
