METHOD FOR CLEANING A PRINT HEAD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240025120 titled 'METHOD FOR CLEANING A PRINT HEAD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a method for removing deposits in a print head of a 3D printer. The method involves supplying a liquid containing a granular solid to the print head and setting the liquid into vibration within the print head.

  • The method involves supplying a liquid with granular solid to the print head.
  • The liquid in the print head is set into vibration.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Cleaning and maintenance of 3D printer print heads.
  • Removal of deposits and clogs in the print heads.
  • Improving the performance and lifespan of 3D printers.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Deposits and clogs in print heads can hinder the printing process and affect print quality.
  • Manual cleaning of print heads can be time-consuming and may not be effective in removing all deposits.
  • Accumulated deposits can lead to the deterioration of print head performance and require costly replacements.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Efficient and effective removal of deposits in print heads.
  • Improved print quality and reliability.
  • Extended lifespan of print heads, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
