Abstract: 3-D build jobs having surrogate supports, 3-D printers using surrogate supports, and techniques to support vulnerable regions of build pieces using surrogate supports are disclosed. The surrogate supports are generated in a first material configuration and are offset via a gap from the vulnerable regions. The gap comprises a second material configuration, such as loose or partially fused powder on which the build piece can be supported during 3-D printing. In alternative embodiments, the gap instead includes thin manual ties or a solid body using material that is stronger but more amenable to breaking off without damaging the build piece. Post-processing steps are dramatically reduced as the surrogate supports and gaps facilitate virtually error-free separation from the build piece. In an embodiment, the surrogate supports include a support structure extending to a fixed base underneath, the fixed base being a build plate or a global surrogate.

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: An apparatus for producing spherical metallic powders through continuous ball milling. The apparatus includes a comminution component. The comminution component includes 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 includes a plurality of grinding components to grind the metallic material, the plurality of grinding components being arranged within the comminution component. The apparatus includes 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.

Abstract: Techniques for injecting adhesive materials are presented herein. An apparatus in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure comprises an additively manufactured hollow node having a surface opening, and adhesive material extending from the surface opening into an internal volume of the additively manufactured hollow node. The adhesive material comprises a foaming adhesive. Another method may include preparing at least one undercut region on a surface to accept a cold spray deposition, performing a first cold spray process to deposit material into the at least one undercut region for reducing corrosion on a metallic interface formed at the surface; and performing a second cold spray process to build the metallic interface for joining an aluminum component.

Abstract: The instant disclosure describes example techniques for bonding multiple metal structures prior or subsequent to application of a protective coating (e.g., an electrocoating or e-coating) to the structures. In certain aspects, the structures may include one or more attachment points for attaching a single structure or multiple structures bonded together to a clamp or other suitable means for applying an electrical current to the structure(s).
