Abstract:
The invention relates to a casting mold, in particular for use in cold casting methods, which is produced with the aid of a powder-based layering method, the final casting mold having a treated surface.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to apparatus, devices and methods for conveying particulate material during the manufacture of patterns in layers, wherein powder is conveyed out of a reservoir into a spreader unit and, if applicable, excess powder fed to the spreader unit is again conveyed back into the reservoir and wherein this conveying takes place in a closed conveying circuit.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device for manufacturing three-dimensional models by means of a 3D printing process, whereby a build platform for application of build material is provided and a support frame is arranged around the build platform, to which said support frame at least one device for dosing the particulate material and one device for bonding the particulate material is attached via the guiding elements and the support frame is moveable in a Z direction, which essentially means perpendicular to the base surface of the build platform, said movement provided by at least two vertical positioning units on the support frame. In this respect, it is provided that the positioning units are respectively separate components and are arrangeable on the support frame independently from one another and the location and orientation of such can be adjusted independently from one another.
Abstract:
Closure device suitable for a 3D printing device and/or coater device, comprising a closure means, wherein the closure means is activatable and can be opened by activating means, wherein the activating means is an eccentric, a draw key and/or a slotted link. The invention also relates to a method and a device for producing 3D mouldings, wherein such a closure device is used.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing 3D shaped articles, in which method: a suspension comprising metallic, ceramic or polymer particle material or cement-bound materials is applied as a suspension layer to a construction platform to produce a layer; the layer thus applied is at least partially dried; a binder is selectively applied; and the selectively applied binder is solidified; these steps being repeated until the desired 3D shaped article has been obtained; where necessary, the particle material which has not been solidified by means of the binder is removed; and the 3D shaped article is unpacked; wherein the suspension for producing a layer is applied by means of a sieve plate, which is positioned onto the last applied layer on the construction platform and through which the suspension is applied to the last particle material layer; and wherein the sieve plate is removed again before the selective application of the binder.
Abstract:
A method for producing three-dimensional molded parts by means of layering, the moisture content of the build material mixture being able to be regulated.
