Abstract: A method of producing engineered-components using an additive manufacturing process includes the steps of, providing a build-platform, forming a first engineered-component, forming support-structures, forming a second engineered-component, and removing the support-structures. The step of providing a build-platform includes providing a build-platform on which to form an engineered-component. The step of forming a first engineered-component includes depositing a first plurality of layers of a material onto the build-platform and solidifying the first plurality of layers. The step of forming support-structures includes forming a plurality of support-structures by depositing a second plurality of layers of the material onto the build-platform and solidifying the second plurality of layers. The step of forming a second engineered-component includes depositing a third plurality of layers of the material onto the plurality of support-structures and solidifying the third plurality of layers. The step of removing the support-structures includes removing the support-structures from the second engineered-component.

Abstract: A system configured to determine a physical state of a vehicle occupant within a vehicle is described herein. The system includes an electrode in contact with the vehicle occupant and containing nano-scale metal fibers or carbon nanotubes and a controller that determines the physical state of the vehicle occupant based on an output of the electrode. The controller initiates a countermeasure based on the physical state of the vehicle occupant. A system configured to generate electricity based upon a temperature difference between a vehicle occupant and a portion of a vehicle interior is also presented herein. This system includes a thermoelectric device containing nano-scale metal fibers or carbon nanotubes. The thermoelectric device has a first side in contact with a vehicle occupant and a second side in contact with a portion of the vehicle interior. The thermoelectric device supplies electrical power to an electrical system of the vehicle.

Abstract: An interior trim component configured for use in a vehicle including a housing formed of a dielectric material and an electrical conductor encased within the housing being surrounded by and in intimate contact with the dielectric material forming the housing. The electrical conductor defines two exposed contact points. An exterior surface of the housing has a desired trim color and desired trim texture. The trim component may be manufactured using a 3D printing process or an insert molding process.
