Abstract: A three-dimensional printing system is provided that includes a tank, a textured substrate connected to the tank, and a reservoir. The tank contains a liquid photopolymer resin. The textured substrate is configured to allow light to pass through into the liquid photopolymer resin. The reservoir contains lubricant and is formed around a perimeter of the tank. The reservoir is connected to the textured substrate and configured to supply the lubricant to the textured substrate.

Abstract: A vehicle tire assembly having a plurality of flexible spoke portions that extend from an outer annular ring to and inner annular ring. Adjacent pairs of the flexible spoke portions define a plurality of gaps therebetween. A plurality of electro-active members, are disposed radially inward from the outer annular ring and radially outward of the inner ring. The plurality of electro-active members are configured such that in the absence of an electric current flowing therethrough, the plurality of electro-active members flex in response to flexing of the plurality of flexible spoke portions. In the presence of an electric current flowing through the plurality of electro-active members, the plurality of electro-active members become more rigid and less flexible adding corresponding stiffness to the plurality of flexible spoke portions.

Abstract: A method of operating a 3-D printer apparatus includes a tank structure with a bottom wall with a printing area defined above and spaced apart from the bottom wall. A gas permeable liquid within the tank overlays the bottom wall of the tank structure defining a first mobile layer below the printing area. An inhibition liquid within the tank overlays the gas permeable liquid defining a second mobile layer below the printing area. A polymerizable resin overlays the inhibition liquid and flows into the printing area. Positioning of an object carrier controlled such that a lower surface of the object carrier is initially located within the polymerizable resin and within the printing area. Operation of a resin curing device beneath the bottom wall provides light to the printing area polymerizing predetermined portions of the polymerizable resin forming an object attached to the lower surface of the object carrier.

Abstract: A 3D printing system includes a vat containing a liquid photopolymer resin and a rigid base on which an object is configured to be printed. A control arm connected to the rigid base is configured to move the rigid base relative to the vat. A first light source is configured to emit light to the vat to form the object on the rigid base. A second light source is configured to emit light on the object externally of the liquid photopolymer resin in the vat to cure the object.

Abstract: A 3D printing system includes a tank, a rigid base, a transducer an electronic controller. The tank contains a liquid photopolymer resin. The tank includes an optically transparent window through which light is configured to pass. A printed substrate is produced on the rigid base from the liquid photopolymer resin as the rigid base moves with respect to the tank. The transducer is movably supported with respect to the tank. The transducer is configured to emit a vibration wave toward the optically transparent window. The electronic controller is programmed to control a position between the transducer and the printed substrate.
