    摘要: A computer-implemented method for generating a manufacturing dataset having cloned geometric features for an additive manufacturing process includes identifying, via a processor, a repeating design feature in a first manufacturing dataset that defines a three-dimensional workpiece. The method further includes determining, via the processor, a processing cost or benefit for cloning the repeating design feature, and generating, via the processor, a second dataset having with repeating design feature isolated responsive to the determined processing benefit. The method includes generating, via the processor, a third dataset from the first manufacturing dataset. The third dataset that replaces the repeating design feature with a reference to the second dataset having the repeating design feature.

    摘要: An example method of making a component includes providing a digital model of a component to a software program, the software program operable to slice the digital model into digital layers and raster each digital layer into digital segments, the digital segments delineated by digital raster lines. The method further includes depositing a first layer of powdered material onto a platform, compacting the first layer of powered material into a first compacted layer, sintering the first compacted layer along lines corresponding to the digital raster lines using a laser, wherein the laser operates at a first power and a first scan speed, and sintering the first compacted layer along a perimeter of the first compacted layer using the laser to form a first unitary layer, wherein the laser operates at a second power and a second scan speed, wherein the ratio of the first power to the second power is less than about 3. An apparatus for making a component is also disclosed.

    摘要: A moisture extraction component including: an inlet; an outlet opposite the inlet; an inner surface defining a main flow channel, the main flow channel fluidly connecting the inlet to the outlet; a path on the inner surface configured to direct moisture flow, the path being defined by differences in hydrophobicity on the inner surface using at least one of a hydrophobic surface and a hydrophilic surface.
