EXTRUSION-BASED ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING: METHOD AND 3D PRINTING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240017496 titled 'EXTRUSION-BASED ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING: METHOD AND 3D PRINTING SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for enabling an extrusion-based additive manufacturing (AM) 3D printing system to handle individual 3D parts of a print job that consists of at least two 3D parts. The method involves slicing the print job to generate a set of slices for the digital 3D representations of the 3D parts. Each slice contains geometrical data that defines the boundaries of a layer of AM feedstock material for printing each 3D part, taking into account these boundaries. For each 3D part, an individual set of geometrical data is generated, which includes the geometrical data defining the boundaries of the layers of AM feedstock material that are to be considered for printing the respective 3D part. The method is performed by an AM 3D printing system that is adapted to execute this process.
- The method involves slicing a print job into slices for each 3D part.
- Each slice contains geometrical data defining the boundaries of a layer of AM feedstock material for printing each 3D part.
- Individual sets of geometrical data are generated for each 3D part, taking into account the geometrical data of the slices.
- The AM 3D printing system is adapted to perform this method.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Manufacturing complex objects with multiple 3D parts.
- Customized production of multi-component products.
- Prototyping and rapid manufacturing of assemblies.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Handling and printing individual 3D parts within a single print job.
- Ensuring accurate alignment and fit of the printed parts.
- Enabling efficient production of complex objects with multiple components.
Benefits of this technology:
- Increased flexibility in 3D printing by allowing the printing of multiple parts in a single job.
- Improved accuracy and alignment of printed parts.
- Enhanced efficiency in the production of complex objects with multiple components.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method for enabling an extrusion-based am 3d printing system to handle individual 3d parts of a print job having at least two 3d parts. the method includes slicing the print job to generate a set of slices for the digital 3d representations of the 3d parts. each slice having geometrical data defining boundaries of a layer of am feedstock material for printing each 3d part taking into account said boundaries. generating for each 3d part an individual set of geometrical data taking into account said geometrical data, wherein each individual set of geometrical data includes geometrical data defining the boundaries of the layers of am feedstock material that are to be taken into account for printing the respective 3d part. an am 3d printing system that is adapted to perform said method.
