Process for manufacturing metal parts using deployable manufacturing center (DMC) system
A deployable manufacturing center (DMC) system includes a foundry module containing a metallurgical system configured to convert a raw material into an alloy powder, and an additive manufacturing (AM) module containing an additive manufacturing system configured to form the alloy powder into metal parts. The deployable manufacturing center (DMC) system can also include a machining module containing a machining system configured to machine the metal parts into machined metal parts, and a quality conformance (QC) module containing an inspection and evaluation system configured to inspect and evaluate the metal parts. A process for manufacturing metal parts includes the steps of providing the deployable manufacturing center (DMC) system; deploying the (DMC) system to a desired location; forming an alloy powder from a raw material using the deployable foundry module; and then forming the metal parts from the alloy powder using the additive manufacturing (AM) module.

3D PRINTER, 3D PRINTING METHOD AND LENS MODULE
A lens module, comprising a first lens, a second lens and a third lens sequentially and coaxially arranged in the transmission direction of incident light. The first lens is a biconcave lens, the second lens is a meniscus lens, and the third lens is a biconvex lens. The first lens comprises a first curved surface and a second curved surface. The second lens comprises a third curved surface and a fourth curved surface. The third lens comprises a fifth curved surface and a sixth curved surface. The first to the sixth curved surfaces are sequentially arranged in the transmission of the incident light, and the curvature radii of the first to the sixth curved surfaces are sequentially −37±5%, 400±5%, −130±5%, −60±5%, 360±5%, and −68±5%, in a unit of millimeter. Due to the arrangement and parameter design of the first to the third lenses of the lens module, the 3D printer can achieve high machining precision. The present invention also provides a 3D printer and a 3D printing method thereof.
