A method of heating thermoplastic filament in additive manufacturing systems, such as 3D printing systems. In accordance with the illustrative embodiment of the present invention, the temporal rate dE/dt at which heat dE is added to a portion of a segment of filament is a function of the temporal rate dm/dt at which the mass dm of the portion of the segment of filament is deposited. In particular, the temporal rate dE/dt at which heat dE is added to a portion of a segment of filament is a non-linear function of the temporal rate dm/dt .

Porous and microporous parts prepared by additive manufacturing as disclosed herein are useful in medical and non-medical applications. The parts are prepared from a composition containing both a solvent soluble component and a solvent insoluble component. After a part is printed by an additive manufacturing process it is exposed to solvent to extract solvent soluble component away from the printed part, resulting in a part having surface cavities.

An apparatus, and corresponding method, feeds build material, in the form of rods, to a drive system in a three-dimensional (3D) printing system. The apparatus dispenses a rod (150) to a media tray (160) and into a first groove defined by a flipper arm (166). The flipper arm is in a substantially horizontal position supported by a bottom ridge (867) of the media tray. The flipper arm is rotated away from the bottom ridge and toward a stopper (162) coupled to the flipper arm and the media tray. The stopper defines a second groove. The apparatus deposits the rod into the drive system via a feed shaft formed by the first and second grooves of the flipper arm and stopper, respectively. The apparatus enables high-speed 3D printing using the rods by overcoming challenges in loading the rods due to brittleness of the rods.

A method for manufacturing an object by means of 3D printing is provided. The method uses as printing material an acrylate polymer formed from one or more types of monomers that include at least one of an acrylate monomer and a methacrylate monomer. The method also uses a printer head with a nozzle that is arranged to deposit the printing material, wherein the nozzle has an orifice that comprises a central portion defining a ring of the orifice through which the printing material can be extruded during deposition of the printing material. The method comprises the steps of heating the printing material to a temperature in a range of 200 to 300 degrees Celsius before depositing the printing material, depositing at least a portion of the printing material in the form of a hollow tube having a cylinder shape by extruding the printing material through the ring, and cooling the deposited printing material (105) below its glass transition temperature.
摘要:
An additive manufacturing apparatus, and corresponding method, determine a mass (or volume) output flow rate of extrudate used in three-dimensional (3D) printing, and such determination is insensitive to rheological properties of a material of the extrudate being printed. A thermal energy balance on a liquefying extrusion head enables a load on a heater, used to heat the extrusion head, to be related to the output flow rate of extrudate. Based on the thermal energy balance, the output flow rate may be determined based on a duty cycle of the heater. The output flow rate may be employed to affect the 3D printing to prevent over- or under-extrusion of the extrudate and to identify a fault condition.
摘要:
Das Verfahren zur additiven Fertigung eines dreidimensionalen Gegenstandes basiert auf einem digitalen Modell, bei welchem auf einer Oberfläche des digitalen Modells wenigstens eine Startfläche festgelegt wird und beginnend auf dieser wenigstens einen Startfläche eine schichtweise Unterteilung des Modells erfolgt. Die Schichten werden nacheinander additiv zu dem dreidimensionalen Gegenstand aufgebaut. Die Lage und Anordnung der auf der wenigstens einer Startfläche basierenden Schichten erfolgt auf Grundlage der Berechnung eines Distanzfeldes, das jedem Punkt des Modellvolumens die kürzeste Distanz innerhalb des Volumens zur nächstgelegenen Startfläche zuordnet. Für jeden diskreten Punkt einer durch ein Distanzfeld definierten Schicht wird eine Orientierung eines Prozesskopfs bestimmt, indem insbesondere entweder die Flächennormale der Schicht berechnet wird oder die Gradientenvektoren des Distanzfeldes berechnet werden, welche für den diskreten Punkt die Richtung des steilsten Anstieges der Distanzen zeigen. Die Form und Verteilung der Schichten passt sich an die Form des digitalen Modells an. Die Reihenfolge für den adaptiven Aufbau ergibt sich aus der Zuordnung der Schichten zu Distanzwerten, beginnend mit dem niedrigsten Distanzwert in aufsteigender Reihenfolge.

摘要:
In a metal fiber composite (MFC) additive manufacturing (AM) method, a layer of polymer structures is deposited using a fused filament fabrication (FFF) printer assembly comprising at least one nozzle. Subsequently, an MFC printer assembly is used to embed a continuous metal fiber into one or more of the polymer structures of the layer. The embedding is achieved by heating the metal fiber and applying pressure to the metal fiber using an embedding surface of the MFC printer assembly. The heated metal fiber melts polymer adjacent thereto, thereby allowing the pressure to embed the metal fiber into the polymer structure. Using the MFC-AM method, various composite structures can be formed, such as novel heat exchangers that may otherwise be difficult or impossible to fabricate via other manufacturing techniques.
