摘要: An autonomous delivery vehicle (ADV) may include multiple storage compartments, and each storage compartment of the plurality of storage compartments has a respective storage space and is associated with a respective delivery location. The respective storage space of each storage compartment may store one or more items. Each storage compartment may transition from a first state to a second state, and the first state may prevent access to the storage space of the respective storage compartment and the second state may enable access to the respective storage space of the respective storage compartment. The ADV may further include a receiver configured to receive first information from a computing system remote and external to the first ADV, and the first ADV may autonomously travel to one or more locations based on the first information.

摘要: Apparatus and methods for additive manufacturing with variable extruder profiles are described herein. An extruder print head with multiple nozzles placed at different angles allows for additional degrees of freedom to additively manufacture parts with complex shapes. In addition with the use of shape memory alloy materials, the diameter of one or more nozzles can be adjusted during the additive manufacturing process. This allows for independent control of the build resolution and of the build rate.

摘要: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an additively manufactured transport structure. The transport structure includes cavities into which components that use an external interface are inserted. A plurality of components are assembled and integrated into the vehicle. In an embodiment, the components and frame are modular, enabling reparability and replacement of single parts in the event of isolated failures.

摘要: Ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM) of surface members for a box-like part such as a crash structure or load-bearing structure in a vehicle is disclosed. In one aspect of the disclosure, a method for building a box-like part includes 3-D printing separately, using UAM, the one or more flat surface members in a horizontal plane relative to a print substrate. The method further includes assembling together the surface members at or proximate respective edges thereof to form the box-like part. In some embodiments, protrusions and other features are added to the surface members. In embodiments involving crash structures, trenches are machined into the inner surfaces to enable tailored deformation of the crash structure during an impact event.

摘要: Techniques for inlaying a composite material within a tooling shell are disclosed. In one aspect, an additively manufactured tooling shell is provided, into which a composite material is inlaid and cured. A surface of the tooling shell is provided with indentations or another mechanism to enable adherence between the composite material and the tooling shell. The resulting integrated structure is used as a component in a transport structure.

摘要: Techniques for producing panels such as for use in a vehicle, boat, aircraft or other transport structure or mechanical structure using a 3-D-printed tooling shell are disclosed. A 3-D printer may be used to produce a tooling shell containing Invar and/or some other material for use in molding the panels. A channel may be formed in a 3-D printed tooling shell for enabling resin infusion, vacuum generation or heat transfer. Alternatively, or in addition to, one or more hollow sections may be formed within the 3-D printed tooling shell for reducing a weight of the shell. The panel may be molded using the 3-D printed tooling shell.

摘要: Apparatus and methods for additively manufacturing lattice structures are disclosed herein. Lattice structures are analyzed and automatedly generated with respect to surface proximity. A lattice structure is varied by changing lattice element variables including lattice density. An automated approach using CAD algorithms or programs can generate data for lattice structures based on design variables including volume, surface, angle, and position.

摘要: Techniques for optimizing powder hole removal are disclosed. In one aspect, an apparatus for inserting powder removal features may identify what powder removal features are optimal for a given AM component, as well as the optimal location and physical characteristics of these features. The features are automatedly added to the component, and an FEA test is run. In the event of failure, the offending feature is removed and the process is repeated. If successful then the loose powder may be removed in a post-processing step following AM.
