Abstract: Additive fabrication systems generally use support structures to expand the available range of features and geometries in fabricated objects. For example, when a vertical shelf or cantilever extends from an object, a supplemental support structure may be required to provide a surface for fabrication thereon. This process may become more difficult when, e.g., a part will be subjected to downstream processing steps such as debinding or sintering that impose different design rules. To address these challenges and provide a greater range of flexibility and processing speed, it may be useful in certain circumstances to independently fabricate the object and support structures, and then assemble these structures into a composite item for debinding and sintering. This approach also advantageously facilitates various techniques for spraying, dipping, or otherwise applying a release layer between the support structure and the part so that these separate items do not become fused together during sintering.

Abstract: A printer fabricates an object from a computerized model using a fused filament fabrication process. The shape of an extrusion nozzle may be varied during extrusion to control, e.g., an amount of build material deposited, a shape of extrudate exiting the nozzle, a feature resolution, and the like.

Abstract: A variety of additive manufacturing techniques can be adapted to fabricate a substantially net shape object from a computerized model using materials that can be debound and sintered into a fully dense metallic part or the like. However, during sintering, the net shape will shrink as binder escapes and the base material fuses into a dense final part. If the foundation beneath the object does not shrink in a corresponding fashion, the resulting stresses throughout the object can lead to fracturing, warping or other physical damage to the object resulting in a failed fabrication. To address this issue, a variety of techniques are disclosed for substrates and build plates that contract in a manner complementary to the object during debinding and sintering.

Abstract: Binder jetting techniques can be used to deposit and bind metallic particles or the like in a net shape for debinding and sintering into a final part. Where support structures are required to mitigate deformation of the object during the debinding and/or sintering, an interface layer may be formed between the support structures and portions of the object in order to avoid bonding of the support structure to the object during sintering.

Abstract: Additive fabrication systems generally use support structures to expand the available range of features and geometries in fabricated objects. For example, when a vertical shelf or cantilever extends from an object, a supplemental support structure may be required to provide a surface that this feature can be fabricated upon. This process may become more difficult when a surface requiring support is enclosed within a cavity inside an object being fabricated. Techniques are disclosed herein for fabricating supports that can be removed from within cavities in an object.

Abstract: A printer fabricates an object from a computerized model using a fused filament fabrication process and a metallic build material. A nozzle cleaning fixture may be provided for the printer that is shaped to physically dislodge solidified build material and other contaminants from the nozzle. A robotic system for the printer can be used to maneuver the nozzle into engagement with the nozzle cleaning fixture for periodic cleaning, or in response to a diagnostic condition or the like indicating a clogged nozzle.

Abstract: A printer fabricates an object from a computerized model using a fused filament fabrication process and a metallic build material. The Seebeck effect can be employed to monitor a temperature difference between a build material and a nozzle that is extruding the build material based on voltage. The temperature difference can, in turn, be used to control operation of the printer or to determine an absolute temperature based on direct measurement of a temperature of the nozzle.

Abstract: A printer fabricates an object from a computerized model using a fused filament fabrication process and a bulk metallic glass. A shearing engine within a feed path for the bulk metallic glass actively induces a shearing displacement of the bulk metallic glass to mitigate crystallization, more specifically to extend processing time for handling the bulk metallic glass at elevated temperatures.
