Abstract

A mask-based partition preheating device and method are provided. The device includes an overall heating light source and a local preheating light source. A substrate provided at a forming cylinder is configured to heat an underlying powder. A mask plate is provided between the local preheating light source and the overall heating light source. A powder material to be sintered is coated on a local preheating zone. The local preheating light source, the mask plate and the overall heating light source are all connected to a temperature controller. A temperature control probe and a thermal imager in a temperature monitor are disposed in a working chamber for detecting the temperature of the powder surface.
