Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for three-dimensional (3-D) printing a build piece in which a laser beam source generates a laser beam for melting a material at a build plate. Additionally, the systems and methods herein include a directed acoustic energy exciter (DAEE) configured to generate an acoustic energy. A controller can be configured to direct the laser beam at a first location to melt the material into a melt pool to form a portion of a build piece and configured to direct the DAEE to transmit the acoustic energy to the first location.

Abstract: A vehicle component and method of forming a vehicle component. The vehicle component includes an additively-manufactured (AM) structure with a first end and a second end opposing the first end. The AM structure includes a pathway from the first end to the second end and a non-AM structure that passes along the pathway from the first end to the second end. The non-AM structure and the AM structure are fixedly connected to one another at a connection.

Abstract: The present aspects include a crash structure of a vehicle that comprises a body member, including an external wall defining a cavity. The body member defines a crush zone configured to receive a first force and to transfer a second lesser force. The crash structure further comprises a heat exchange member within the cavity that includes: a first fluid chamber with a first input port and a first output port and a second fluid chamber in thermal communication with the first fluid chamber and includes a second input port and a second output port. The heat exchange member is configured to receive a first fluid at a first temperature at the first input port and to output the first fluid at a second lower temperature at the first output port. The heat exchange member is additionally configured to receive a second fluid at a third temperature at the second input port and to output the second fluid at a fourth higher temperature at the second output port.

Abstract: Systems and methods for rotational additive manufacturing are disclosed. An apparatus in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure comprises a build floor, a depositor system configured to deposit a layer of powder onto the build floor, a motor system causing a rotational motion between the depositor system and the build floor, wherein the depositor system deposits the layer of powder during the rotational motion, a receptacle wall configured to contain the powder on the build floor, an energy beam source configured to apply an energy beam in an active area of the layer of powder to selectively fuse a portion of the powder in the active area to form a portion of a build piece and a gas flow system configured to provide a gas flow across the active area while the energy beam selectively fuses the portion of the layer of powder in the active area.

Abstract: A resin composition can includes a first isocyanurate component and a first bonding component bonded to the first isocyanurate component. The first bonding component can be configured to bond to a second bonding component that is bonded to a second isocyanurate component. The first bonding component can be configured to bond to the second bonding component based upon an application of an initiator to the resin composition. In this way, the first isocyanurate component can be coupled to the second isocyanurate component. The resin composition can be either in a pre-cured state in which the first isocyanurate component is not coupled to the second isocyanurate component or in a post-cured state in which at least a portion of the first isocyanurate component is coupled to at least a portion of the second isocyanurate component.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for producing spherical metallic powders through continuous ball milling are described. The apparatus comprises a comminution component including an inlet to receive a metallic material at a first region within the comminution component and an outlet to dispense the metallic powder from a second region within the comminution component. The apparatus further comprises a plurality of grinding components to grind the metallic material, the plurality of grinding components being arranged within the comminution component. The apparatus comprises a drive component, connected with the comminution component, to induce movement of the metallic material and the plurality of grinding components within the comminution component such that the metallic material is fragmented through contact with the plurality of grinding components at the first region and an external surface of the fragmented metallic material is altered at the second region to produce the metallic powder.
