Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for cleaning surfaces of a workpiece. The system includes a housing defining an enclosure, a holding structure within the enclosure that is configured to support a workpiece, a first powder removal device that is configured to propel a first media toward the holding structure such that the first media contacts the workpiece while the workpiece is supported by the holding structure, a first sensing device that is configured to detect surface characteristics of the workpiece while the workpiece is supported by the holding structure, and a controller configured to, by a processor: detect a powder material on a surface of the workpiece based on the surface characteristics, and selectively operate the first powder removal device to remove the powder material from the surface with the first media while the workpiece is supported by the holding structure.

Abstract: Systems and methods for manufacturing a product include at least one fabricating system to create a substrate with a lattice structure. A form receives the substrate. The form defines a cavity around the substrate. A forming system delivers a material into the cavity of the form so that the material flows into the lattice structure interweaving the material with the substrate to create a feature on the substrate from the material that is locked to the substrate by the lattice structure.

Abstract: A three-dimensional part as well as a method and system for creating the three-dimensional part. The three-dimensional part including a first portion of a three-dimensional part formed from a first plurality of successively deposited layers, with a cavity defined in the first portion of the three-dimensional part. A magnet is inserted in the cavity and a cover disposed on the magnet in the cavity. In addition, a second portion of the three-dimensional part is formed form a second plurality of successively deposited layers deposited on the first portion of the three-dimensional part and the cover.

Abstract: Systems and methods for securing a product joint with a lattice structure. A system includes at least one fabricating system to create a connector with the lattice structure. A force system applies a force to the connector so that a material of the product flows into the lattice structure interweaving the material with the lattice structure to secure the joint by the lattice structure.
