Abstract: Apparatus and methods for additively manufactured O-ring grooves are presented herein. An O-ring groove is additively manufactured to have a vertical face, bottom face, and an opposite face. By additively manufacturing the opposite face to be outwardly facing with an obtuse angle, the O-ring groove can be built without the need for support structures, thereby reducing post processing steps and manufacturing cost.

Abstract: An additively manufactured node is disclosed. A node is an additively manufactured (AM) structure that includes a feature, e.g., a socket, a channel, etc., for accepting another structure, e.g., a tube, a panel, etc. The node can include a node surface of a receptacle extending into the node. The receptacle can receive a structure, and a seal interface on the node surface can seat a seal member between the node surface and the structure to create an adhesive region between the node and the structure, the adhesive region being bounded by the node surface, the structure, and the seal member. The node can also include two channels connecting an exterior surface of the node to the adhesive region. In this way, adhesive can be injected into the adhesive region between the node and the structure, and the adhesive can be contained by the seal member.
