Abstract: Techniques for joining nodes and subcomponents are presented herein. An additively manufactured first node or subcomponent has a groove. An additively manufactured second node or subcomponent has a tongue configured to extend into and mate with the groove to form a tongue-and-groove connection between the first and second node or subcomponent. In some aspects, the tongue-groove connection may extend substantially around a periphery of the node or subcomponent. In other aspects, a first subcomponent having a fluid pipe interface may be coupled via a tongue-groove connection to a second subcomponent having a fluid pipe interface, thereby enabling fluid to flow between subcomponents of the resulting integrated component.

Abstract: A multi-material three-dimensional (3-D) powder bed fusion-based (PBF) printer is disclosed. In one aspect, the 3-D PBF includes a body, a controller coupled to the body, a plurality of cartridges coupled to a print nozzle, an energy source coupled to an upper surface of the body, a deflector for deflecting an energy beam from the energy source, and a build plate on which a build piece can be 3-D printed. Each cartridge may include a slurry in which a specific print material or alloy is suspended. A depositor may selectively deposit the slurry onto the build plate to form a plurality of consecutive layers. For a given layer or a given region thereof, the controller may selectively deposit different amounts of the slurry to produce an alloy having a desired composition. A heating element may be used to vaporize the solvent in the deposited slurry. Using the deflector, the energy source can fuse the regions to sinter the deposited material and in some embodiments, to vaporize the solvent prior to sintering. In other embodiments, the slurries may include different alloys that can be selectively distributed across the layers to form a build piece having desired material characteristics.
