摘要:
A method for solid free-form fabrication of a three-dimensional object includes depositing a particulate blend in a defined region, the particulate blend including a calcium phosphate source, a reaction retardant, and a layered double hydroxide, and selectively ink-jetting a solubilizing binder onto a predetermined volume of the particulate blend to form a pre-ceramic object in the predetermined volume, wherein the solubilizing binder includes wetting agents, humectants, pH modifiers, and surfactants.

Solid freeform fabrication (SFF) systems for producing a three-dimensional object and methods of producing three-dimensional objects are disclosed. The SFF system includes a dispensing system including an alginate-based material that includes an alginate-based powder and a binder. The dispensing system is adapted to dispense the alginate-based material.

The present invention is drawn toward materials, methods and systems for solid free-form fabrication of three dimensional objects. In one embodiment, a method for solid free-form fabrication of a three-dimensional object can comprise steps of a) depositing a particulate composition including inorganic phosphate particulates in a defined region; b) ink-jetting an aqueous liquid onto a predetermined area of the particulate composition to form hydrated cement in the predetermined area; c) hardening the hydrated cement; and repeating steps a) through c) such that multiple layers of the cement are formed that are bound to one another, thereby forming the three dimensional object. In another embodiment, a system for solid free-form fabrication of three-dimensional objects can comprise a particulate composition including inorganic phosphate particulates; a substrate configured for supporting at least a layer of the particulate composition in a defined region; and an ink-jettable aqueous liquid configured for being jetted in the defined region to hydrate at least a portion of the particulate composition to form a cement.

A method for creating a three-dimensional solid freeform fabrication object includes spreading a reactive powder on a substrate, selectively dispensing a core binder in the reactive powder to form a core material, and selectively dispensing a shell binder in the reactive powder to form a shell on the core material.
摘要:
A solid freeform fabrication system includes a powdered build material deposited as a layer in a fabrication bin; a binding powder deposited as a layer over the layer of powdered build material; and an activating fluid that is selectively dispensed from an ejection head to activate the binding powder. The activated binding powder then selectively binds the build material into a cross-section of an object being fabricated.

An apparatus for use with an ink supply system of a printer includes a housing having an inlet, an outlet and a longitudinal fluid conduit extending therebetween. A fluid sensing device extends from a first side of the fluid conduit to an opposite side of the fluid conduit. A monitoring device is electrically coupled to the fluid sensing device for detecting changes in the fluid sensing device.

Chemical compositions are disclosed. One exemplary composition, among others, includes: a basic component, an acidic component, at least one acrylate component, oxidizing agent, reducing agent, and a binder. The binder includes a viscosity modifier and a surface tension modifier. The binder is capable of stimulating a reaction between the basic component and the acidic component. A portion of the binder is capable of undergoing a polymerization reaction between at least one acrylate component, the oxidizing agent, and the reducing agent. The polymerization reaction being initiated by the redox reaction between the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent.
