    摘要: An additive manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing a three-dimensional component includes: a build plate, at least a portion of which is transparent, the build plate defining a build surface; a material depositor operable to deposit a radiant-energy-curable resin on the build surface; a stage positioned facing the build surface of the build plate and configured to hold a stacked arrangement of one or more cured layers of the resin; one or more actuators operable to change the relative positions of the build plate and the stage; a radiant energy apparatus positioned adjacent to the build plate opposite to the stage, and operable to generate and project radiant energy on the resin through the build plate in a predetermined pattern; and a cleaning apparatus operable to remove debris from the build surface. A method is provided for use of the apparatus.

    摘要: A gas turbine engine defining an axial direction and a radial direction, and including a primary cooling circuit configured to receive a first flow of air; and a turbine rotor comprising a rotor blade, the rotor blade defining at least in part a forward wheelspace that is located forward of the rotor blade, the forward wheelspace configured to receive a second flow of air, the rotor blade further defining: a first cooling circuit internal to the rotor blade and in fluid communication with the primary cooling circuit for receiving the first flow of air from the primary cooling circuit; a second cooling circuit internal to the rotor blade and in fluid communication with the forward wheelspace for receiving a portion of the second flow of air from the forward wheelspace; and a means for drawing a portion of the second flow of air into the second cooling circuit.

    摘要: A system and method including receiving a data model representation of a part, the data model representation including at least one layer of the part and inner and outer contours for the at least one layer; determining a hatch pattern for each layer of the at least one layer of the part, the hatch pattern for each layer being dependent on the inner and outer contours for each respective layer; generating a record of the determined hatch pattern for each layer, the record including locations for the hatch pattern for each layer; and saving the record of the determined hatch pattern for each layer of the part. In some aspects, the record of the determined hatch pattern for each layer of the part may be used in an additive manufacturing process.
